When the Tigers met up with the Yankees yesterday in a spring training game, the main story was about Curtis Granderson, the former center fielder that roamed Comerica Park for the past 6 seasons. Considering that he was brought up from the Detroit farm system and became an impact player, something of which happens very [...]

2009 Season Review – The Redskins defense was solid, their offense was not. Ask the Baltimore Ravens; to have success with a mediocre offense you have to have a stellar defense. That is why Washington finished with a 4-12 record and being outscored by their opponents by 70 points. The season never did feel right [...]

2009 Season Review – Although the Titans started the season 0-6, a lot of which could be assessed to their bad luck with injuries, Tennessee still found it within themselves to finish 8-8 while flirting with a wild card possibility. No matter how drab the season got though, one thing emerged from 2009 that the [...]

2009 Season Review – After signing Derrick Ward to a contract before the 2009 season, solid things were expected from the Buccaneers offense. Needless to say that not only did their offense sputter, but their team as a whole did. Their defense was awful which made it even harder to try and grab a win [...]

2009 Season Review – (Thinks to himself, “Something positive to say. There has got to be something positive to say.”) The St. Louis Rams positively stunk last season, but at least they won a game. My 2008 Lions could not even say that. Ironically both will be drafting #1 and #2 in this years NFL [...]

2009 Season Review – Seattle was 5-11 and were outscored by their opponents by 110 points. To make matters worse, Julius Jones and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, two free agents brought in during the past two off seasons and whom were both paid a ton of cash both faltered and did not meet expectations. Add in a [...]

2009 Season Review – Despite missing the playoffs by a sliver, the 8-8 49ers could look upon the 2009 as being one of success. Vernon Davis finally showed the promise that he had exuded after having been being drafted by San Francisco to be their tight end of the future. Frank Gore looked healthy once [...]

2009 Season Review – The Chargers had an outstanding 2009 season as they went 13-3, outscoring their opponents by a total of 134 points and then went into the playoffs and… wouldn’t it had sounded better if I could have said that they dominated? Instead, the last season that LT2, otherwise known as LaDainian Tomlinson  [...]

2009 Season Review – In an odd regular occurrence around the NFL, the Steelers did not make the playoffs the following year after winning the Super Bowl. They did have a winning record by going 9-7, but honestly is that a successful year after earning the biggest title in the NFL? Exactly, and that is [...]

2009 Season Review – The Eagles, despite the Michael Vick media antics, delivered to their fans a 11-5 record and a playoff showing. The 2009 season marked the final season of Brian Westbrook in a Philadelphia uniform, but more importantly the emergence of a group of solid young receivers led by DeSean Jackson. Finishing with [...]

The Detroit Lions kept beefing up their roster on the first day of free agency, no pun intended, as they traded for defensive tackle Corey Williams. The Lions Martin Mayhew has confirmed that they are giving up their second fifth round pick in this year’s NFL draft for Williams and the Cleveland Browns seventh round [...]

Free agency started just a few hours ago, but the Detroit Lions have made a big statement to the rest of the league letting the other teams know that they have come to play. Since midnight Martin Mayhew and his staff has inked a pair of players that will give the team marked improvement going [...]

2009 Season Review -Despite being the butt of every joke from NFL fans and commentators alike, you may find it hard to believe but the Raiders didn’t have even close to the worst record in the game. In fact there were 5 teams with worse records and a few others that had tied. What makes [...]

2009 Season Review – Even though the Jets had a rookie quarterback in Mark Sanchez tossing the pigskin around, New York still managed a 9-7 season and even looked fairly impressive in the playoffs, falling one victory short from making it to the big dance. The team in green and white had a solid mixture [...]

2009 Season Review – Even though the Giants found themselves in a division with the Cowboys and Eagles who both went 11-5 on the season, New York was able to scrap out a 8-8 record. While that is not a very impressive line, to be able and grab 8 wins when Brandon Jacobs and Eli [...]

2009 Season Review – What a special year it was for the New Orleans Saints as they went 13-3 in the regular season only to finish it off by being able to hoist the Lombardi Trophy as they won the Super Bowl after toying with the Indianapolis Colts for most of the second half. This [...]
