Detroit Lions vs. Cleveland Browns: Play-by-Play Analysis

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:41:47 -0500

Disclaimer: This time around, I was able to get back to the game tape a little quicker. My analysis that follows is based on my second viewing of the game as I did not take notes during the initial viewing. My emphasis will be on the details of the play versus simply commenting on my reaction to the play. That said, there is only so much free time I have and I won't be charting formations, etc. What better way to spend a Sunday evening before getting back to t...

Brett Favre and Steve Smith: A Dream Union Made in Heaven

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:38:27 -0500

Can you imagine Brett Favre and Steve Smith playing together? Boy, I sure can. Do not get me wrong, I like Jake Delhomme as much as the next, but Favre sure would make things in Charlotte much more interesting this season. When I think to myself about this very plausible possibility, it truly brings back memories of a young Brett Favre hooking up with an explosive Sterling Sharpe on countless fantastic plays. Steve Smith may not be the same type of receiver as Sterling was, but he is certainly one of the most prolific receivers in the game today. Likewise, Brett Favre is not the young man he once was, but he can still sling it with the best of them. The guy passed for 4,155 yards on 535 attempts, and completed 66.5 percent of his passes this past season. Moreover, Brett chalked up 28 touchdowns while throwing only 15 interceptions, and earned a QB rating of 95.7. Let's face it; those numbers are not too shabby for an old man. Other than playing with Steve Smith, why would Favre like to play with the Panthers this year? Well, how about a bolstered offensive line and running game? This offseason the Panthers went out and acquired some beef with the signings of three free agent guards in Keydrick Vincent, Milford Brown and Toniu Fonoti, who weigh in at an average of 332 pounds. They also drafted bruising running back Jonathan Stewart, who is 5'10" and 235 pounds, to complement the talented DeAngelo Williams. Now this may be some wildly concocted dream, but maybe not. The Panthers could feasibly acquire Favre for the price of say, a couple of third rounders and taking on his gargantuan contract. Is it worth it? Probably not, when considering all things, but I would love to see it happen anyway. Check more exciting NFL news and action at www.betsportsweb.com.

Get Donald Trump in the Rams' front office

Sun, 06 Jan 2008 10:06:10 -0500

Now that the Rams' season is over, we can examine which players didn't quite live up to expectations. Release them, trade them, do whatever, but these guys should no longer be suiting up in the blue-and-gold. Mr. Trump, if you would: "You're fired!"
