Brett Favre: Gun For Hire?

If he does play again, will it be in a dome or on grass? Will he be throwing passes under the sun, or against gusts of wind and snow? Will he be in a different shade of green, or jump boldly into purple? There are plenty of questions surrounding the recent news of Brett Favre’s [...]

Philadelphia Eagles' Potential Battles that Could Shape the '09 Season

For a fan, there’s nothing better than opening week. That first game ends months of frustration and hanging on to any kind of football fix he/she can get (i.e. the draft).

For a player, there’s nothing better than being in a battle. A battle with a person you see every day, a person wearing the same colors as you. Going in every day knowing that if you’re not at the top of your game on that practice field, you’ll never see that playing field.

No player cares to know how that bench feels.

The stress is incredible, the mental toughness must be at its highest level, and your body must be at its peak.

It’s that time from a couple weeks after the draft right up until the Saturday before that first game. It’s that time that will make or break a season, a career.

Every season there are a few key battles during camps (mini-camp, training camp, etc.) that will shape the team for the coming year, and this year is no different for the 2009 Philadelphia Eagles.

In fact, there may be more for the Eagles this year than any prior year.

Old faces are gone, new faces are ready to step in, but how will it break down?

Thoughts Of The Day: The Truth is Clutch, Starbury is Scared

Speaking of being clutch, how unclutch is Stephon Marbury, the man formerly known as “Starbury”. I’m not sure what his new nickname should be after his performance at the end of the 4th quarter on Tuesday.

I’ll admit that I was a supporter of his signing earlier this year because I thought he would be more of a team player on a veteran Celtic’s team. Well I was right, because he has changed into an unselfish player. However, I didn’t realize that it would make him change for the worse.

Is Chad Ocho Cinco Only as Good as His Quarterback?

There was once a popular phrase around the NFL that asked, how do you stop 85? This phrase was about Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson, who now goes by the name Chad Ocho Cinco. Throughout his career, Ocho Cinco has been nothing but a headache to opposing defenses. Other than his rookie season, he had [...]

Matthew Stafford: Overpaid Yet Never-Played

It’s time for an NFL pop quiz. Get your no. 2 pencils ready. What do Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger all have in common? If you guessed that they’re all veteran quarterbacks who have led their current team to a Super Bowl title, you’re partially correct. If you guessed that they’re [...]

Cardinals Release Disgruntled Running Back Edgerrin James

In Edgerrin James’ mind, in Ken Wisenhunt’s mind, hell, in everyone’s mind-it’s about time. We all know by now that Edgerrin James status on the Cardinals’ roster was simply a fasad-that Wisenhunt was just keeping him around as an insurance policy. After seeing Tim Hightower rise and fall faster than a child television star, as [...]
