Finally, I’ve got some time to talk NFL after a busy weekend and the NCAA final Monday night. I guess it’s a blessing and curse to be too inundated with hot sports stories, but these two items cannot be ignored much longer: Jay Cutler’s trade from Denver and Plaxico Burress’ exile from the Big Apple.

Remember a few seasons ago, when the Padres, Diamondbacks and Rockies went right down to the wire and the Dodgers and Giants weren’t that bad either? Well this isn’t going to be one of those seasons.
