Robert Griffin III: Bouncing Back From an ACL Tear
I was thinking about Robert Griffin III the other day, with all the hoopla surrounding his jumping jacks and bouncing around at a recent team event. Made me think about what to expect from him this season, whether he’s going to lean more towards Adrian Peterson or a guy like Deuce McCalister. It’s obviously impossible to say at this point, but here’s my post from early...
Despite the thoughts of Dr. James Andrews, Robert Griffin III is not ‘superhuman’
Comparing Washington’s field general to Bo Jackson and Adrian Peterson, Dr. James Andrews called Redskins rehabilitating superstar Robert Griffin III “superhuman” and said the quarterback is “way ahead of schedule” recovering from reconstructive surgery to repair the ACL and LCL ligaments in his right knee. The 23-year-old Griffin, rightfully named the Associated Press’...
Manning, Peterson among NFL 101 Award winners
Peyton Manning won his seventh NFL 101 Award on Saturday night as AFC offensive player of the year.
The Denver quarterback came back from a neck injury and transitioned to a new team, and had one of his best seasons. He led the Broncos to a 13-3 season and threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns.
Manning said receiving the award meant a little more to him this year.

Troops watch Pro Bowl practice
Thousands of military service members and their families crowded a small field at Pearl Harbor to catch a glimpse of their favorite NFL stars as they practiced in the rain in preparation for Sunday's Pro Bowl.
Downpours didn't stop kids and adults Thursday from shouting toward their favorite stars like Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Minnesota running back Adrian...
RG3 To Have Reconstructive Knee Surgery On ACL, LCL, Life As We Know It Over In All Likelihood
(Patrick McDermott/Getty Images)Well...that was fun, but unless RG3 really is a super freak a-la -Adrian Peterson, Coach Mike Shenanigan-han’s decision to play the twice-knee injured and ineffective rookie QB in the second half of Sunday’s playoff loss to the Seahawks on the worst field since the trenches of Dunkirk leading to the potential Rookie of the Year’s third and most...

The RGIII Show
Robert Griffin III's playoff performance against the Seahawks should have never graced the stage in Washington. If Mike Shanahan and ownership truly cared about winning, it was not evident by their decision to let RGIII play on the same torn-up field that ruined Adrian Peterson...
Wild Card Observations
What a terrible set of games. Even the one good game fell apart completely. It was a beautiful weekend in LA, and I wish I had some of the time back.
Andy Dalton probably won't ever win a Super Bowl (except as a backup QB), and Marvin Lewis probably won't either (except as a defensive coordinator - which he already has). But there's zero chance they'll win...

Seahawks shafted for 2013 Pro Bowl roster spots
East Coast Bias
The Pro Bowl rosters are out—and flawed. Even though the Seattle Seahawks are indisputably the NFL’s hottest team, and just torched the “best defense” in the league for 42 points, we have the same number of pro bowlers as…..the Kansas City Chiefs.
That’s right.
The football world thinks we have the same amount of elite players as a team with more pro...

Seahawks hoping to improve their run defense
For the first six weeks of the season, the Seattle Seahawks run defense was among the best in the NFL.
In the eight games that have followed, the Seahawks have statistically been among the worst.
What changed?
For one, the Seahawks have played some really good running backs and been hurt by big gains from Adrian Peterson, Frank Gore and Reggie Bush.
But there are some concerns...

Photo Credit: Rick Bowmer/AP The 2012 NFL Draft was one that was highlighted by two quarterbacks that were both worthy of being selected number 1 overall: Stanford’s Andrew Luck and Baylor’s Robert Griffin III. Well, who would have thought that with two weeks to go in the regular season a guy that was picked 75th overall by the Seattle Seahawks was the favorite to bring home...

The AFC.
It's difficult to make a case for including any team from the conference other than Houston among the league's best, while unbeaten...
Blatant homerism! I wouldn’t trade Lynch for Peterson
Or anyone for that matter
On Monday, my editor sent me this Seattle Seahawks pitch, asking if I would be interested in writing the piece—he already had the headline picked. I had to laugh a little bit at first because I actually had this conversation with my buddy at at a recent game.
The actual conversation wasn’t really about Marhawn Lynch versus Adrian Peterson; it was...
