Is Eli Manning a Question Mark for the Giants?
Yesterday, I was listening to my local ESPN Radio station. The discussion turned over to the Giants. The host started talking about the impact of the losses of Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress, the stout D, and a great run game. However, the next thing mentioned surprised me. The host was concerned about Eli Manning. [...]
2009 Gridiron Gab Team Previews: Washington Redskins
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: A powerful public figure in Washington feels some heat from his constituents after another year of mediocrity and under performance.

It looks like Packers DT Johnny Jolly will be on the field after all for the Pack, as the drug possession case against him was dismissed this morning. But, before Jolly celebrates his win, he should be aware that prosecutors are expected to refile the case soon. The charges come from Jolly being arrested in [...]
2009 Gridiron Gab Team Previews: Pittsburgh Steelers
To truly understand the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers is to understand the importance of all the peripheral details. Take, for example, inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons. In the big scope, we see Timmons, a 6?1?, 234-pounder who plays with an upright posture that makes him looke 6?4?. Speedy agility and fervid tackling suggest that [...]
