What the Detroit Lions can Learn from the Super Bowl
How many Detroit Lions fans would shutter if they were playing in the Super Bowl against Eli Manning and The New York Giants. How would they feel if they were watching Manning lead the Giants to the winning touchdown against their team? The Detroit Lions pass defense as it is they would have been eaten alive by Manning and his receiving crew.
Don’t get me wrong, the Giants...

Red Sox slugger Kevin Youkilis is marrying Julie Brady, sister of Patriots QB Tom Brady. Here’s the scoop via the Boston Herald, “The happy couple, who spent Super Bowl week together with the Brady clan in Indy, got engaged “recently” after dating for at least a year, we’re told from a few F.O.Ys.” Tom would be a cool brother-in...
Kurt Warner Comments About Eli Manning Reek of Jealousy
Kurt Warner—former NFL quarterback, two-time MVP, Super Bowl MVP, three time Super Bowl participant, and frequently debated Hall of Fame candidate—apparently does not believe Eli Manning is Hall of Fame worthy.
He doesn’t even think the discussion should be started yet, which most do after Eli became just the fifth player in NFL history to win Super Bowl MVP twice.

Kevin Youkilis reportedly engaged to Tom Brady’s sister Julie
Kevin Youkilis and Tom Brady’s sister, Julie Brady, reportedly are engaged.
The Boston Herald reports the news four months after they ran (and then deleted) a story about Youkilis dating Tom Brady’s sister. In their October report, they said Youkilis was dating another one of Tom’s sisters — Nancy Brady. Apparently they got that detail wrong last time.

Eli Manning will probably make the Top 100 players this year
I was asked a few times during Super Bowl week to rank Eli Manning’s place in the current quarterback hierarchy. For 2011 alone, I put him in a tie for fourth with Ben Roethlisberger behind Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees. Before 2011, Manning would have been closer to No. 10 than No. 5.…

Chatting with ET about Tom Brady’s wife’s choice words, Victor Cruz said, “It’s cool, she’s defending her husband and I understand that. I wouldn’t want it any other way.” “I think she’s the only one who vocalized it [what New England fans were thinking], that’s why she&...
Bill Belichick Tells Team ‘Make Them Go To Manningham’
According to ESPN, NFL films picked up audio of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick telling his team during the Super Bowl to take Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks out of the game and force the New York Giants to win through Mario Manningham. Unfortunately for Patriot nation that is exactly what the Giants did.
“This is still a Cruz-and-Nicks game,” Belichick said during...
Cleveland Browns: Who Should Be Their Top Free Agent or Draft Day Target?
The Cleveland Browns have many holes on both sides of the ball, and if Phil Dawson leaves, the Browns will have a major hole on special teams as well.
However, the Browns’ biggest area of need is at the wide receiver position. The Browns desperately need to improve their talent and depth at this position. Anyone who observed the Browns’ sputtering offense in 2011 can...
Pats by position: The offensive line
With the Patriots season coming to an end on Sunday, it's time to take a look back at the team and break down their performance by position. We'll start up front this week with the offensive linemen. The group played well for most of the season, allowing Tom Brady to be sacked only 32 times, good for ninth in the NFL.
New England was in the middle of the pack when it comes...
The Indianapolis Colts Need to Draft Justin Blackmon if Peyton Manning is Cleared.
Five years ago in the NFL, the draft would be a part of each teams rebuilding process. Teams would draft players that would sit behind veteran players to get them ready to play. They would learn the ins and outs of the game and be mentored by older players. Perfect example is Aaron Rodgers sitting behind Brett Favre in Green Bay. Rodgers got his shot a few seasons back and he ran...
Assorted NFL Thoughts
Tom Brady has become Peyton Manning (great record, regular-season stats, but can't win the big one), while ironically Eli Manning has become the old Tom Brady (clutch, big-game QB, more modest stats).
While Peyton Manning's record of seven straight 12-win seasons from 2003-2009 is unlikely to be matched, and also bracketed by 10-win seasons, putting that streak at nine...
