QB ùPeyton Manning, Colts; Philip Rivers, Chargers; Tom Brady, Patriots
Obviously, Manning should start his 10th career Pro Bowl. The Colts' 14-0 record and Manning's numbers don't lie. He has thrown 33 touchdowns and is a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame when he retires.
Rivers is enjoying a great season with the Chargers, having won nine in a row and ...

Here's the latest update of my 2010 NFL mock draft. The draft order is based on my season record and playoff projections. There are a few players that I couldn't get photos for. I put up a player from that team instead if they had no search results. Tune in next week for another update of my mock draft, and feel free to comment and tell me what you think ...
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim free agent pitcher John Lackey, above, is reportedly headed to the Boston Red Sox after signing a five-year deal worth $85 million.
That means the Angels will be without both Lackey and Chone Figgins, who was also a free agent and departed for a four-year deal worth $36 million with the Seattle Mariners.
The Mariners were also just involved in a three-way trade with the Toronto ...

Angels’ Trade Package for Roy Halladay (If I Was Tony Reagins for a Day)
Posted: 4th December 2009 by Ian O'Brien in MLB
The L.A. Angels have been one of the many potential suitors seeking to make a trade to land Roy Halladay, the Toronto Blue Jays' ace. The Angels will need to trade a lot as Halladay will cost a pretty penny.
The Angels should trade players that are at their peak value, and who the team could easily lose in one more season.
The Blue Jays expect a team to hand over one ...
This is a puzzle, so I will probably be wrong on nearly all of these, but let's do it just for fun.
1. Matt Holliday—Red Sox
The Red Sox have lots of money just like the Yankees, and they won't hesitate to offer Holliday a seven- or eight-year deal worth $100-150 million. The Yankees already have both Matsui and Damon and will re-sign one of them for sure, so they won't ...

Draft order is based on season record and playoff finish projections:

1. Cleveland BrownsùJimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
With Charlie Weis more than likely getting fired, Clausen will most likely declare for the NFL.áClausen has an excellent arm and accuracy. He has 23 TDs, 4 INTs, and a 67.3 completion percentage. Plus, he plays in a pro-style offense.
Although Brady Quinn had four TDs ...
1. Indianapolis Colts (10-0)
If there was a PhD in football, Peyton Manning would have one. He is the master of making big plays with two minutes left, and he now has 3,171 yards and 21 TDs on the season. He is my pick for MVP so far.
2. New Orleans Saints (10-0)
The Saints have an all-around great team as demonstrated by their 10-0 record, and Drew Brees is in the discussions ...
1. Cleveland Browns- Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Clausen is an excellent QB that plays in a pro-style offense and leads effectively. He has great arm strength and accuracy. The Browns will go nowhere with Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson at QB. Quinn is obviously a bust, and Anderson's one good year was a fluke.á
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The Buccaneers finally won a game this season, but their ...
