It wasn’t the best weekend to be a superstar from the state of Pennsylvania. Two of the state’s biggest stars were in some hot water for different reasons, but now some big questions will come to the public’s attention that I’m sure neither guy would like to see out there.
First, Big Ben Roethlisberger was reportedly [...]

There wasn’t exactly the same start to free agency that happened last year, with Albert Haynesworth signing his ridiculous deal with the Redskins, but there has been some movement so far.
A quick aside about how quick negotiations can go with these midnight start times: How can you hammer out a multi-million dollar contract in a [...]

Well, anybody who knows anything about football could have seen this one coming: LaDainian Tomlinson was released by the San Diego Chargers on Monday. Really, he hasn’t been effective for the past two seasons, being used mainly in goal line situations to pad his TD stats, and looked like he’s never really mentally recovered from [...]

Adjustments, adjustments, adjustments. That could be the biggest key to the Super Bowl this year. The Indianapolis Colts are the best team in the league at adapting their game plans on the fly while the New Orleans Saints are excellent at throwing different adjustments and line shifts and motions at you. If anything, this Super [...]

Whether the NFL wants to hear it or not, nobody cares about the Pro Bowl. Their idea to move into the week between the conference championships and Super Bowl was even more egregious when you consider what exactly the counter-programming was last night: The Grammy awards. If the league just failed to recognize this or [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, the Pro Bowl is next week — in between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl — for the first time ever. This is causing some roster problems. First of all, you can’t play in the game if you’re playing in the Super Bowl, so that eliminates, by default, [...]

The Super Bowl has a tough act to follow and no, I’m not talking about next week’s Pro Bowl. The Saints’ stunning overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings could go down as one of the most memorable conference championships ever. It had everything you could want from a classic game: Great performances on the offences [...]
