It has been a spectacular season for the Jets, as they made their improbably journey to the AFC Championship. Although they did not make it to the super bowl like they hoped for, you still have to applaud them. So without furthur ado, here are my awards from the Jets 2009 season
Rookie of the Year: Although Mark Sanchez helped get us to the post season. Shonn Greene helped lead us to the AFC Championship and for his performances, I have to give the rookie of the year to Shonn Greene. It is a very tough choice, but all Sanchez really did for the Jets is not do horrible (and even in some [...]

As a Colts fan, this game really disappointed me. But hey, the New Orleans Saints wanted it more. They needed this. After all New Orleans has gone through for the past few years with Hurricane Katrina and all that. Along with that, the Saints were never a good football team. The NFC Championship was the farthest they’ve ever gone before the season started. And they only made the NFC Championship once in their life.
The Saints were undervalued. With losing to teams like the Buccaneers with their starters, the Saints were not favorites entering the playoffs. They proved everyone wrong. And [...]

Hats off to the New Orleans Saints for winning Super Bowl 44.
They have come a long way since the days of the New Orleans Aints.
The Saints franchise has struggled for most of its existence, and seeing Drew Brees proudly holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy last night shows just how far that franchise has come.
The sight of the Saints players celebrating victory reminded me of another team that came from the bowels of the NFL to ultimately win the sport's richest prize; the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
For years, the Buccaneers were THE biggest joke in the NFL. This was the first team [...]

Saturday afternoon, the NFL continued to give evidence to those who claim that the NFL hates the Raiders. Tim Brown, who is an all-time top 5 wide receiver, was not voted into the hall of fame. The main reason is likely because he was up against Jerry Rice, a man who leads the NFL in every major receiving category. But just because of Jerry Rice (who certainly deserves to be inducted), why couldn't Tim Brown also have been inducted. Brown was the 1st WR to win a Heisman trophy in college, he holds NFL records for: rookie-season record for most combined yards gained, with [...]

Well, there have been some rumors about J-Peezy floating around for some time now. Vague reports that he was being a pest during the season, and that (along with his advanced age, and injuries) was likely to get him cut before his 7 figure roster bonus due this March. Those vague rumors, however, have blown up into a full on scandal.
First, Armando Salguero at the Miami Herald said they had received reports that Porter was on a local sports station in California saying he was done with the team, and wanted to be traded. There was, however, no official archive or transcript of this [...]

We all knew it was coming.
Who in their right mind would think that Emmitt Smith, the all-time leading rusher in attempts (4,409), yards (18,355), and touchdowns (164), is not a Hall of Famer?
Nobody. Or else they wouldn't be in their right mind.
Emmitt Smith is the last of the 'Triplets' to be inducted after Troy Aikman was inducted in 2006 and Michael Irvin received his bust in 2007.
Emmitt cried after his name was announced and embraced the previously mentioned Michael Irvin.
With Emmitt Smith in the Hall of Fame, the Cowboys now have 10 players who spent a significantly [...]

Trying to evaluate just what the San Diego Chargers need with the offseason is a difficult task. Do you evaluate them as a 13-3 juggernaut that tripped itself up in a less than ideal situation? A few limited tweaks would then be all that is necessary.
Or do you look to the team as a bit of an overachiever? A 10 win team that found a way to win a few extra times? This approach obviously warrants a much deeper consideration, and a few broader changes.
The answer lies somewhere in between. Both looks share the common thread of a change to [...]

The San Francisco 49ers have two first round draft choices heading into April's draft, as well as up and coming young talent at numerous positions on the field. But since the prime years of 49er great Bryant Young came to an end a few years ago, the 49ers have lacked a true pass rushing threat.
While defensive end Justin Smith more than earned his Pro Bowl appearance this season, his best asset comes in the ground game and being able to play every single down. Smith has been an absolute stud for San Francisco but he can't generate a consistent pass rush by himself. And unfortunately, [...]

WOW!!!
NO New England, NO Dallas, NO San Diego, NO Minnesota, NO Pittsburgh...but there is one NO left...New Orleans is still there...and they are in a prime positions to win this Sunday's game versus the Colts.
This will not be a cake though, the Saints will be facing yet again another hall of fame quarterback. I cannot think of a postseason where I team has had to potentially beat 3-1st-Ballot-Hall of Fame Quarterbacks. Kurt Warner is the only questionable quarterback and the question is more "when" than "if". But that is a discussion for another time. Between Warner, Brett Farve, and [...]

According to NFL Fanhouse, Jim Irsay plans to pay Peyton Manning sometime and it would make Manning the highest-paid player in NFL history.
"We know that Peyton's going to be the highest-paid player in the league," Irsay said. "It'll get done. There's no question about that, and it's something we'll focus on in the offseason."
And plus, Manning could make up big for this deal if the Colts win the Super Bowl. All is going good for the Colts'
"messiah."
More of this story can be seen [...]

This is the time of year when all loyal Browns fans are gearing up for free agency and checking out every mock draft they can find. Since Cleveland's season has once again has come to an end with no playoff appearance, we Browns fans can only hope for a better "next year".
The offense in Cleveland will probably be getting a lot of attention this off season. Quarterback, wide receiver, right tackle and tight end are positions the Browns will be looking to upgrade. Defensively, cornerback and safety are two huge needs. With Mike Holmgren being an offensive guru, he will probably be drafting [...]
