NFL Draft: Best and Worst #1 Picks
The number one overall draft pick is no joke. Number one pick goes to with the team with the worse regular season record the previous season. Meaning, the team with the number one pick has not been playing too well and most likely needs players pretty bad. To have the worst record in the NFL out of 32 teams is not something a team and its fans are too proud of. To the worst teams...

Post Super Bowl Hangover
The Super Bowl is over and half of America either called in sick to work with “Food Poisoning” or “The Flu” or is terribly hungover and counting down the minutes until the end of the day. We now live in a world devoid of football for six months and personally I’m already going through withdrawal. The NFL Draft can’t get here soon enough. Here are some random thoughts...

Eli Manning has taken every snap this season, but should he have to leave the game on Sunday for some reason backup quarterback David Carr would take his place. But what would happen if Carr had to leave? The Giants donât have a third quarterback on their roster.

Congratulations to the New York Giants, NFC Champions for the 2011-2012 season! I am very jealous, and want the George Halas Trophy in Tampa so badly.

Iron Man Eli Leaves Practice With Illness
Giants QB Eli Manning, known for his stamina and willpower, was forced to leave practice with flu-like symptoms today. He was relieved by backup David Carr (he’s that guy who stands on the sidelines every week wearing No. 8) and his condition is day-to-day.
“Eli started the practice, but did not finish.” Head coach Tom Coughlin announced in his post-parctice session with the...

Eli Manning Leaves Practice Early
According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, Giants quarterback Eli Manning was unable to finish practice on Wednesday because of an “illness.”
Back up quarterback David Carr said that he was in meetings with Manning earlier in the day and said he seemed OK to him.
I’d expect Manning to be back at practice on Thursday, it doesn’t seem like anything serious...

Week 11 Observations
The NFL is such a week to week league that it should surprise no one that the Eagles went from losing at home against Arizona's backup quarterback to winning in New York with theirs. Of course, John Skelton was no ordinary backup - he was pushing Kevin Kolb for the starting job - that is, until Skelton was demoted to third string mid-game in San Francisco behind Richard Bartel. ...

Pete Carroll again shows he can't coach his way out of a paper bag.

Which NFL Rookie QB is Head of the Class in 2011?
“With the first pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select, Cam Newton, quarterback, Auburn.” With those words the Carolina Panthers hoped that they had selected a quarterback in which they could build their future and franchise around. The truth of the matter is that there are no guarantees when it comes to any NFL Draft pick. Joe Montana was drafted in...

VIKINGS CAN’T WIN? THINK AGAIN
The Christian Ponder era officially begins on Sunday when the Vikings host the Green Bay Packers. Logic would tell you that Minnesota has no chance against the team that many consider the best in the NFL. Common sense would dictate that a team that is 1-5 is not going to take down a team that is 6-0. However, when it comes down to Vikings vs Packers, logic and common...

Fresno State Bulldogs vs Utah State Aggies Football Recap
Fresno State 31, Utah State 21
The groundhog-day nature of the 2011 college football season
for the Utah State Aggies isn’t something that’s impossible to believe. What’s
worth pointing out is that a very familiar pattern – when replicated – isn’t
very surprising at all.
The Fresno State Bulldogs won’t mind one bit.

NFL Quarter Season Wrap
With the Ravens on their bye week I have little news to report. Flacco’s taking heat again, Ed Reed is finally getting recognized as one of the (if not the) greatest safeties of all time, and as the team sits at 3-1, one wonders how good they truly are.
Still, we’re now a quarter way through the regular season. I’m using the slow Raven’s news cycle as an opportunity...

Derek Carr carried the burden of beating Boise State well before he ever became quarterback at Fresno State.

The Steelers are 2-2. Pretty sure Icky Woods could come out of retirement and get 100 yards on the defense. Ben Roethlisberger is looking more like David Carr with the amount of turf he's been eating. Things aren't looking up to standards in Steeler Nation.On the other hand, the Steelers have 12 games left in the regular season and their schedule isn't that difficult. The only two...
