Way Too Early NFL Award Predictions for 2013
These are some trying times for a guy trying to run a football blog. There just isn’t much going on.
I could write some Titus Young nonsense, regurgitate the rookie camp info you read at every other site or starting thinking about how the 2013 season is going to shape up in terms of individual performances.
Let’s go with that last one and focus on the future.

1. QB Russell Wilson (Seattle): 3 years, 1.987 million remaining

Focus On: Wide Receivers
It’s one year later, and the question remains the same: who is the #2 receiver? That fact that we could list at least three names is evidence that there still isn’t one. This isn’t the only question facing the offense this off-season, but failing to find a good answer will continue the inconsistency in the passing game.

Sexy Friday Is Going On A Field Trip
It’s 2013. Where’s my blow job robot? THE FUTURE IS A LIE.
I don’t like the first few weeks of a new year because the part of my mind that had gotten used to it being 2012 and is resistant to change needs a few weeks to grudgingly accept that something is different. So I’ll catch myself not remembering that it’s 2013 and get mad at my brain lapse. Then I’ll get disappointed...

Bengals' D-line blossoms into one of best
Michael Johnson towers over blockers at 6-foot-7. At 6-foot-1, Geno Atkins often gets dwarfed on the line. Domata Peko is gregarious. Carlos Dunlap tends to cut off interviews after a few questions.
The Bengals' defensive line is an eclectic mix of players from far different backgrounds with very different personalities and body types. Together, they formed one of the NFL'...

Meast And Least for Week 16
The Sean Taylor Memorial Meast for Week 16 is Russell Okung, who kept Aldon Smith, who had 19.5 sacks coming into Sunday night’s game, from registering any sacks or quarterback hurries on Russell Wilson. Since Aldon Smith pledged earlier this month that for each sack he’s going to donate $5,099 to Bay Area Boys & Girls Clubs, it’s clear that Okung just hates children. Whatever...
