In what we can only hope is a one-time experiment, FOX introduced the “Goose Cam” during tonight’s Falcons-Bengals pre-season broadcast, giving viewers a wildly unnecessary view of Tony Siragua, their portly and distracting sideline analyst:
Worst. Idea. Ever. (Image via SBNation.com)
Early in the game, Siragusa gave us a tour of his on-field rig, where he spends most of the games wobbling from side to side, harassing players and screaming random thoughts over the play-by-play. Siragusa’s set-up behind the endzone includes a director’s array of monitors showing every camera angle, a telestrator (so he can draw smiley faces), an extra-creepy fisheye lens … and of course, a little shelf for Goose’s Peanut M&M’s.
Finding the broadcast team of Kenny, Moose and Goose - who is inexplicably given an open mic to share his unfiltered insights from field level - calling your game was already an unwelcome sight for any NFL fan. But with the Goose Cam, FOX has taken things to a whole n...

I have written several articles in the past few weeks regarding running backs in the realm of fantasy football. I am not particularly high on Adrian Peterson this season and I think the term ‘buyer beware” comes into play if you select Chargers RB Ryan Mathews this year. I think it’s wise to issue the same warning for Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner.

Falcons Preseason: Five observations from loss to Bengals
Halfway through the preseason the Falcons are 0-2, but what does that really tell us? While the first-team offense has played very well and the first-team defense has played well enough, the Falcons have lost games because of poor play by their Nos. 2 and 3 quarterbacks, penalties (some of which are a direct result of bad calls by outmatched replacement officials) and by their second...

A third-round pick (No. 84 overall) out of Texas in 2010, Shipley had an impressive rookie season, catching 52 passes for 600 yards and three touchdowns as the No. 3 receiver in a group headlined by Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens.

Bengals hope to continue development in 2012
At this point last season, you would have been hard pressed to find anyone that believed the Bengals would be a respectable football team, much less a playoff contender.
