Finally, Kevin Kolb gets to spend a summer in Arizona. Forget the discomfort of the triple-digit surroundings. The quarterback is getting his first offseason workouts with the Cardinals, and he and the team hope this means a smoother, less pressurized performance in the coming season. Kolb acknowledges that he puts added pressure on himself to live up to the five-year, $63 million - $21 million guaranteed - contract he signed with Arizona after the Cardinals traded cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round draft pick to Philadelphia to get him. That self-induced pressure, the force-feeding of the Cardinals offense once Kolb finally arrived and a pair of untimely injuries made it a first season to forget for the quarterback who now has to fend off John Skelton for the starting job.

WHAT IF MIKE LEACH wasn’t a football coach but instead a commissioner – what if he was in charge of making changes to college football’s postseason. Leach would institute a playoff but it wouldn’t be of the plus-one, 4-team or even 8-team variety. A 16-team playoff? A 32-team playoff? Nope. Think bigger.
