The Seattle Seahawks Are Entering a Brave Old World Called Smashmouth Football
With the first two picks of the 2011 NFL Draft the Seattle Seahawks have chosen offensive linemen. This in itself isn’t much of a story, but taken from a wider view it says quite a lot. The Hawks have decided, as Brandon Adams at 17Power so eloquently put it in his reaction article tonight, to [...]
Rick Neuheisel honors late mentor Homer Smith
Coach Rick Neuheisel took a moment following Monday’s practice to recognize former football coach Homer Smith, the three-time UCLA offensive coordinator (1972-73; 1980-86; 1990-93) who passed away in Tuscaloosa, Ala. on Sunday at age 79 following a bout with cancer.

Mike Pouncey Predicts He’s Going To Dallas Cowboys
Florida offensive lineman Mike Pouncey is expected to have a shot as a first round pick in the 2011 NFL draft, and could be the first interior lineman taken.

Yes, this actually happened. Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and three friends were given a criminal trespass warning for what police termed “wearing their pants halfway down their hips exposing their underwear” in a Dallas mall.

Kevin Burnett rips Roger Goodell
San Diego Chargers linebacker Kevin Burnett delivered a verbal hit to Roger Goodell earlier this week, calling the commissioner a “blatant liar” in an interview with a San Diego radio station. Goodell’s full of it. He’s a liar. You’re a blatant liar. ‘It’s our league, it’s we, we love the players, we want the league,’ [...]
Cam Newton Better at Pro Day than NFL Combine
While Ryan Mallett received at least one glowing review from his pro day workout, the two reviews that I have read on Cam Newton’s workout aren’t as spectacular. The general consensus seems to be that he was better at his pro day than the combine, but he was still pretty inconsistent in a lot of [...]
Manchester United’s Dose of Karma at Chelsea Could Be the Tonic Arsenal Need
Watching Chelsea vs. Manchester United this morning, the first thing I noticed was how easily United seemed to be controlling the match in the first half. They seemed relaxed and confident, but didn’t look especially threatening before Wayne Rooney’s sudden stunningly silky contribution, after Branislav Ivanovic let him have a little too much space. Another [...]
