Bills Still Unsure on Who Will be Under Center Sunday
Bills interim coach Perry Fewell is taking a wait-and-see approach with his quarterbacks after starter Ryan Fitzpatrick missed his second straight practice because of an ankle injury.

Eagles WR Maclin Says He’s Ready to Go Sunday
After missing the game against the 49ers, Jeremy Maclin now thinks he is good to go and ready to perform again. Maclin said, “It’s already torn now. It is what it is.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Wide Out
Last Sunday’s post-game shows were full of holiday cheering: The Pats finally won an away game (for some reason, away-away in Wembley doesn’t seem to count)! The defense, although missing some key players like Wilfork, Pryor and Warren, showed up, mixed it up and befuddled the Bills! And Randy Moss, suffering for weeks the slings [...]
Seahawks Rookie Receiver Gets his Chance to Prove his Worth
A costly injury for Seattle could be a golden opportunity. During training camp and the preseason I sung the praises of Deon Butler, the rookie wide receiver out of Penn State. Buried on the depth chart, Butler hasn’t put up big-time numbers this season, but he could get his chance to start turning heads now [...]
