The National Football League’s coffers got a bit bigger as the league announced on Friday that Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss and New York Giants cornerback Corey Webster were fined $5,000 apiece for their involvement in a tussle during their game last week. Moss and Webster struck their heads – knocking Moss’ helmet off [...]

Three Keys to a Pittsburgh Victory Sunday in Chicago
The Steelers are set for their first game in 10 days tomorrow when they battle the Bears in Chicago. The Steelers are 1-10 in regular season games lifetime in Chicago, so they have history somewhat against them when they hit the road tomorrow. Here’s my keys to a Steelers win in Chicago, along with a [...]
Colts’ Key To Victory vs. Dolphins – Week 2
Most seasons, this would be a no-brainer. But due to some issues in Indianapolis, the Colts will not cake-walk their way (I can only wish for that to happen!) to victory over a much improved Miami Dolphins squad. So what will the Colts need to do to defeat the Dolphins down in Miami? * Tackle [...]
Week Two Preview: Cincinnati at Green Bay
The last time I remember the Bengals playing a regular season game at Lambeau Field, Brett Favre made his Packer debut and led Green Bay to a fourth-quarter comeback win. It was early in the season, the Bengals were 2-0, the Packers were winless, Cincinnati was up 17-3 in the third quarter, the meltdown ensued [...]
Bengals Continue to Look to Work Out the Kinks
Last Sunday, Marvin Lewis and his coaches stood in front of a hulking object, covered in a tarp inside of Paul Brown Stadium. A crowd gathered around it and the tarp was removed. There stood the new Bengals machine of 2009, shiny and new, purring idly and waiting to operate. The coaches set it in [...]
The Chicago Media Already Taking Shots at Jay Cutler

Not surprising considering the hype and then (regrettable) debut Sunday night. But their coverage of Cutler for the 2 articles in question really stretched the bounds of journalistic reporting. Maybe you [...]
Week 2 Preview: Seattle at San Francisco
Ugly. When five of your six second-half possessions result in three-and-outs, that’s ugly. When your all-star running back only gets 30 yards on 22 carries and your offensive coordinator refuses to abandon the running game, that’s ugly. When you only have one wideout hauling in more than 38 receiving yards, that’s ugly. When your starting [...]
Harvin’s First Weekend as a Viking a Big Hit
Don’t look now, but the Vikings have a very versatile and exciting player in Percy Harvin. He can play wide out, in the slot or even line up in the backfield as a halfback. That’s not counting the wildcat formations that opposing defenses have to account for or his contributions to the specials teams as [...]
