Happy One Year Anniversary to 76-yard Field Goal Attempt
Today is the one year anniversary of Lane Kiffin’s brilliant decision to have Sebastian Janikowski attempt a 76-yard field goal last year for the Oakland Raiders. Janikowski has one of the strongest legs in NFL history, but this goes down as one of the dumbest calls in NFL history. Remember that Antonio Cromartie was on [...]
Pennington Out for the Year
Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington is out for the year with a torn capsule on his throwing shoulder.

Was Moss Mailing It In?
The New England Patriots beat the Atlanta Falcons 26-10 on Sunday and wide receiver Randy Moss chipped in with 10 catches and 116 yards.

The Worst NFL Fine Ever
The NFL fined Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown $10,000 for running out of the tunnel wearing a “Jason” mask from Friday The 13th last Sunday. What is wrong with a player bringing some fun to the NFL? Remember that the NFL wanted to fine former Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer for wearing a No. 40 [...]
Is Fred Jackson This Year’s DeAngelo Williams?
Of the 5 fantasy football leagues that we were in last year, 4 were won by whoever had DeAngelo Williams. Williams dropped 20 TD’s last season and went from undrafted waiver wire wonder to a first round pick this season.
It wasn’t that Williams scored dramatically more than everyone else (which he did), Williams value was [...]

Jeff Garcia is already on the roster, but Eagles offensive [...]
IS ESPN Patriots’ Biased?
Maybe I am too much of a Buffalo Bills’ apologist. Maybe I am sick of my team losing 12 straight games to the New England Patriots.
