With the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers just days away from facing off against one another this coming Sunday, Lions cornerback Chris Houston thought it would be a good time to talk some trash.

Chris Houston talked a little smack about...
Nate Burleson: Calvin Johnson better than Randy Moss in prime

Blessed with ungodly size and speed, you can’t go wrong with either of these pass catchers.According to Nate Burleson, a current Detroit Lions and a one-time teammate of Randy Moss in Minnesota, Megatron is the better of the two.Burleson told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press: “When...
New pass catchers, same 49ers from last year

Jenkins by the San Francisco 49ers, this offseason, pointed toward Alex Smith being used by Head Coach Jim Harbaugh as the main cog of the offense in 2012, but against the 32nd passing defense last season in the Green Bay Packers, the 49ers ran the [...]

Fantasy Week 1 Gloating and eating CROW
Picking the 49ers by 10 in Green Bay I missed the mark by 2. The revamped 49er offense with “the dusted off Randy Moss who produced a TD was everything I expected.

Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers: Hero and Zero of the Game
There are no easy divisional games in the NFC North, and when the Bears and Packers get together there are bound to be fireworks.
