Expensive NFL vets might be vulnerable this offseason
Mike Lombardi points out an interesting fact about free agency in an uncapped year. Not only will it take six years of experience (compared to four) for a player to be an unrestricted free agent, the uncapped year gives teams … Continue reading
Another NFL award rollout
Chris Johnson was named the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year. I voted for him. Two-thousand yards is 2,000 yards. It struck me as odd that I'd vote for Peyton Manning as MVP and Johnson as Player of the Year, … Continue reading
NFL team$ rake it in
Interesting story from Newsweek about the fortunes being made by Daniel Snyder in Washington, while the Redskins lose. Newsweek reports: "The Washington Redskins make more money than any other professional sports franchise in the United States. Their estimated annual revenue … Continue reading

The NFL had two independent experts examine some NFL facilities to ensure the teams were doing everything possible to prevent staph. Among them was the Browns. AN NFL press release stated: "Each of the seven teams that were surveyed has … Continue reading
NFL replay and Browns tonight
The NFL replay system can officially be called a joke. Anyone who saw the Steelers-Ravens game Sunday understands. Overturning the call on the field to make Santanio Holmes' last catch a TD was ridiculous. For this reason: There was no … Continue reading
