Pete Carroll rightfully pointed out that idea was ridiculous, saying a game between Alabama and an NFL team wouldn’t be close. In reality, the final score wouldn’t be that close. The Browns would win by five touchdowns and not have to throw the ball. Sure, you can see how some skill-position players would match up against those from Cleveland.

In defense of the great Phil Dawson

I was reading an otherwise great article today at Grantland by Bill Barnwell that pointed out how bad a job Jacksonville Jaguars GM Gene Smith is at his job, when a snippet caught my attention.

It has everything to do with Jerry being...

3 Reasons the Seahawks should pursue Payton

Three seasons into his five-year contract Pete Carroll is not living up to expectations. While many fans might be quick to point out he has won a playoff game against the then defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints, the reality was it was done with a losing record and not a realistic marker of success. Carroll can argue he is building a team and that takes time, an argument...
