Image Makeover for the Ravens Yields Consistency

The championship team of the 2000 season will always hold a special place in the hearts and minds of Raven fans. But to anyone else outside the city limits that group was remembered for it’s star linebacker who had run afoul of the law, it’s arrogant coach that questioned the media’s ability to do its [...]

Steelers to face major issues when it comes to trying to keep LB Woodley

A thought on Rams safety OJ Atogwe

Let’s think quickly about OJ Atogwe for a minute here on this Sunday.  The Rams designated Atogwe as a “right of first refusal” restricted free agent earlier this offseason. (which seems like a million years ago, but this is neither here nor there.)  Any other team in the NFL could sign Atogwe without giving the [...]

Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe Gets Unique Offer, Refuses

Vikings top tight end, Visanthe Shiancoe, is always an entertaining guy when he has a camera put in his face.  His fun lovin’ antics can rival that of any Vikings teammate whether it be Brett Favre, Jared Allen, or Pat Williams. He recently sat down with Yahoo! Sports reporter, Michael Silver, and the interview did [...]
