Posted: 10th July 2010 by Joey Bruno in NFL
When considering the situation in which Chad Henne has found himself with the Dolphins, it's difficult not to be reminded of Atlas; the Titan of Greek and Roman Mythology upon whose shoulders rested the weight of the entire world. The hopes and dreams of Dolphins fans everywhere are dependent upon the young quarterback's ability to step up to the plate, and be the kind of leader who will ...

Turning The Page On LeBron James: Cleveland Browns Edition

Posted: 10th July 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
The past is the past, you can't do anything to change it. In the grand scheme of things, the whole LeBron James issue doesn't mean that much to people who don't follow basketball in Cleveland other than in the sense "The Decision" gets put up on the same shelf as "The Drive," "The Fumble," and "The Shot," among others. Cleveland Browns fans are lucky in the sense their teams have been blessed ...

Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp Preview: Offensive Line

Posted: 10th July 2010 by Bob Cunningham in NFL
The dead days of June have come and gone. July 26th marks the beginning of Training Camp for the Philadelphia Eagles and, essentially, the beginning of the football season. But camp and the new season come with a lot of questions at every position. First, we'll be looking at the offensive line. Despite what anyone might tell you, it's the most important position on the field—yes, even more so than the quarterback, ...
The Philadelphia Eagles have designated a lot of time recruiting multiple backs during this past offseason, either through free agency (Mike Bell) or the draft (Charles Scott). Because of the size of the acquired backs, and the deadly skill set young LeSean McCoy brings, it is leading many fans to believe the Birds are going to a more evenly split offensive scheme under first year starting QB Kevin Kolb for the 2010 season. It is undeniable ...

Madden 2011: Preview of the Cincinnati Bengals Starters

Posted: 10th July 2010 by Ezri Silver in NFL
When Madden 2010 came out last season, the Bengals had a middle to low end overall rating (starters only) of 77.23. This year, the Madden 11 team gave the Bengals a much deserved increase in overall ratings for starters, to 83.41. With the ability to improve via squad updates during the season, the Bengals will likely increase this number. Nevertheless, the distribution of the team's initial ratings ...

The Oxy-Moronic Train of Thought Regarding The Hall of Fame.

Posted: 10th July 2010 by Nick Signorelli in NFL
There is a building in Canton, Ohio. The name of this particular building is called the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It is a place where every kid that has ever strapped a helmet onto his head has had the dream of having a bronze bust of themselves in this building. The reason for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is to honor the men that have made professional football what ...
After clearing the vomit from my mouth after the sociopathic narcissistic "press conference" ESPN held to promote LeBron James, I felt it important to throw the city of Cleveland some love. Not only because it is tiresome watching ESPN attempt to shove their anointed heroes down our throats in hope of cashing in on faux reverence, but because Cavalier fans need only look back to 1980 and owner Ted Stepien to ...

Five Running Backs Ready To Shine in 2010

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Fen Yi Chen in NFL
Winning a starting job as a running back in this league is as hard as ever. With the increased reliance the league has on running back committees, players realize that when you have the opportunity to perform—leave nothing on the field. The window of opportunity in this league comes and goes as fast as Chris Johnson on a straightaway to the end-zone. Last year, it was Chris Johnson, Cedric Benson, ...

Dallas Cowboys: 50 Years Ago Today

Posted: 9th July 2010 by Jabber Head in NFL
Fifty years ago today, on July 9, 1960, on the campus of Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, the Dallas Cowboys began their first training camp. A staggering total of 193 players participated in that first camp under Tom Landry, who knew that the team was lacking in talent. "What we didn't have in the way of quality," he said. "We tried to make up ...
