Owens In Buffalo Stories.
May 28th, 2009 by david.alter
T.O. continues to dominate the headlines as the Bills continue voluntary workouts in Buffalo. But to his credit, it hasn’t been due to his antics. Rather, he’s had to respond to nonsensical stories like Cowboys QB Tony Romo refusing to call the newest Bills receiver by name when talking about him in the past, using the […]
NFL Draft (Picks 25-32)
April 24th, 2009 by david.alter
25. Miami Dolphins - WR - Kenny Britt - Rutgers
The Dolphins are in need of a top two receiver and could very well select one with this pick given that some of the top receivers could still be on the board. Should they pass on receiver, they will likely look for a pass-rusher […]
NFL Draft (Picks 17-24)
April 22nd, 2009 by david.alter
17. New York Jets - QB - Josh Freeman - Kansas State
With the retirement (again) of Brett Favre, the Jets find themselves in desperate need of a quarterback. It all starts with this position as the team restructures under new head coach Rex Ryan. New York will need someone who could confidently fit the bill and Ryan wants to […]
NFL Draft (Picks 9-16)
April 21st, 2009 by david.alter
9. Green Bay Packers - DE/LB - Everette Brown -Florida State
Since switching over to a 3-4 defense last year, the Packers didn’t really have a nose tackle that could do the job effectively. If Raji should fall to the nine spot no question they pick him up. But should he be taken earlier, the Packers may need […]

1. Detroit Lions - QB - Matthew Stafford - Georgia
After a a dreadful 0-and-16 season, […]
Bills Sign Rhodes, Jackson Unhappy
April 18th, 2009 by david.alter
The Bills added some depth at runningback signing veteran Dominic Rhodes to a two-year deal. Rhodes spent most of his career in Indianapolis while spending a year with the Oakland Raiders, and fills the need for some depth at the runningback spot after learning that Marshawn Lynch will miss the first three games of the […]

April 17th, 2009 by david.alter
Pending an agreement to a contract extension as well as passing a physical, Pro-Bowl Tackle Jason Peters will be dealt to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for the 28th pick in next week’s NFL draft as well as an undisclosed second day draft pick (which is believed to be a 4th rounder).
This continues a major […]
Madden Calls It A Career
April 16th, 2009 by david.alter
Never has a colour analyst had as big of an imprint left behind on the sport that he/she covered like John Madden. A Superbowl winning head coach, Madden would go on to have a 30-year career in broadcasting winning 16 emmys. But long before I was a football fan I was video game fan, and […]

Marshawn Lynch addressed the media today, one day after meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to respond to his recent gun possession conviction.
“I’ll find out about that in about ten days” said Lynch when asked about when he expects a decision on punishment. “Just from the situations that happened with me before, people kind of felt that […]
