LATEST STORIES FROM THE FOOTBALL JUICE
2013 NFL Draft Outside Linebackers: Brown, Moore, Jones, Mingo, Jordan
Not much of a surprise, but we were the website that called Von Miller a few years ago despite many analysts dubbing him a one trick pony, whose limited pass rush moves would eventually catch up to him and make him lesser than what most GM’s were valuing him to be. Now, the experts in linebackers bring you the 5 best 2013 NFL Draft outside linebackers to be next in line for greatness...
Draft Profile: Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
Over the past couple of weeks at TFJ, we have covered prospects that have not been playing football for very long like Bjöern Werner and Ezekiel Ansah and we have covered players who have had to change positions multiple times in college like Dion Jordan. We have discussed how their ability to succeed despite a lot of experience at their respective positions means the sky is the...
Juice This: Arizona Misses Kolb, Revis Island Drama, RGIII Jerseys
Juice This hits the road today to gauge the football temperature in Phoenix, where it is always hot (just not for football, that is). We take a focused view of Brock Lesnar, with an “in” look at his NFL career – insensitive and indifferent, that is – just like his MMA personality. No, wait, that’s his UFC personality. No, wait, that’s his WWE personality. Doesn’t matter...
The Future of the Green Bay Packers
With news that the Packers are going to lock up Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews, what does the future hold for the rest of the team? What direction will they go in during the draft? And the age old question that every Green Bay Packers fan wants to know, where does Jermichael Finley fit into their plans? With so much money tied up with Rodgers and Matthews, the Packers won’t be...
Draft Profile: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
Every NFL draft since it has been covered like the United States presidential inauguration has included a story of a player who overcame some sort of career threatening injury or some hardship of the sort. Well, I cannot recall any prospect ever having to overcome the injury that Dion Jordan had to as a senior at Chandler High School in Arizona. Unlike most of these stories, Jordan’s...
2013 Fantasy Football Rankings 51-75
Is it ever too early to start looking at your Fantasy Football draft strategy? They say there are no stupid questions, but come on. So, without further ado, I present the next segment in my 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings numbers 41 through 50. These rankings are based on a 10-team standard scoring league. 51) Jordy Nelson, WR, Green Bay Packers

Joe Flacco Breaks “Space Jam” Rules for Johnny Unitas Movie
I’ve developed a foolproof system for determining whether or not any actor is an acceptable choice to portray an athlete in a film. I call it “the Space Jam rule.” Don’t let Hoosiers or Rudy purists tell you otherwise: Joe Pytka perfected the sports movie genre with his 1996 gem, Space Jam. It’s so obvious that I’m not even going to waste this space making such an argument...
Chicago Bears 2013 NFL Draft Targets
Here’s a look at who I think the Chicago Bears should be putting these hats on for Draft Day. With the #20 pick in the 1st round, I’m liking the buzz I have heard about Geno Smith, QB out of West Virginia. (As if you did not know who Geno Smith was already…) Still, based on recent reports, if they are really interested in drafting Smith, they will have to make some serious...
Draft Profile: Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU
I can’t believe I’m about to do this, but I have to. I am going to reference “Date Movie,” one of the worst movies in a painfully long series of horrific spoof movies. “Scary Movie” was funny. Why could they not just stop there!? Anyways, if you remember, the fat chick’s dad was Black, while her mother was Indian. She also somehow had some Greek heritage, as her parents...
Draft Profile: Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama
Eddie Lacy showed a lot of patience during his time at the University of Alabama, and I’m not just talking about his ability to hit holes at the right time. He walked onto campus in 2009 as a four star recruit with promise. However, right along side him was fellow freshman and five star recruit Trent Richardson. Oh, and returning starter Mark Ingram, who would only go on to win...
Green Bay Packers Focused on Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews
The Green Bay Packers are looking to lock up Clay Matthews and Aaron Rodgers long-term before the upcoming 2013 NFL Draft at the end of this month. They also brought back tight end Jermichael Finley on a one-year deal worth $8.25 million with a $3 million roster bonus. They missed out on some veteran free agent running backs, like Steven Jackson, Rashard Mendenhall, and Shonn Greene...

April showers bring May flowers; and Mock NFL drafts. Yes, it is our favorite time of the year and here for you, we have our 2013 NFL Mock Draft 1.0. Check it out and see which prospect we have your team taking. Don’t worry, this is just the first of many mock drafts coming from TFJ. 32) Baltimore Ravens: Kevin Minter, LB, LSU

Juice This: QB Contracts, Coming Out in the NFL, Tim Tebow
This week, Juice This looks at why Joe Flacco is overpaid (uh, no, we mean, why Aaron Rodgers is underpaid) and why Tony Romo owes me about half of that $130-plus million he just got. And if so many players are coming out about coming out, then why has the most-vocal of the coming-out voices, in essence, been silenced? Also, catching up with ZZZZ’s and the latest Tim Tebow controversy...
7 Quarterbacks Ride This Year’s “Bad QB Carousel”
Have you ever seen that episode of “The Simpsons” where Bart gets placed in the remedial class? There’s a very funny scene in which they play musical chairs, but there are far more seats available than players. In essence, every round the same people stayed in the game while simply changing seats. That’s basically how the bottom of the NFL operates with quarterbacks. We see...
Carson Palmer: The Lost Quarterback Finds New Home in Arizona
Carson Palmer has gone to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for what might as well be a bag of balls rather than draft picks (cue killjoy saying “but Tom Brady went in the sixth round”), yet most neutral observers admit that the Cardinals probably did not need to give up anything seeing as the Oakland Raiders would have been forced to cut him anyways. Unfortunately, Palmer probably...
2013 NFL Draft Offensive Linemen: Jones, Johnson, Fluker, Fisher, Joeckel
Look at the two teams in the Super Bowl this past year and you might think to yourself, “wow, their defenses are pretty good,” or, “wow, their offenses are magnificent.” In reality, the game was won and lost on the interior line. Baltimore’s offensive line protected Joe Flacco on their historic run and made that great San Francisco pass rush look nonexistent in the biggest...
Darrius Heyward-Bey Brings Deep Threat to Indianapolis
Jim Irsay has been talking this offseason, albeit in a code only Irsay fans would appreciate, about bringing in a “whopper” signing of a wide receiver. Many had speculated that it would be Victor Cruz, but just yesterday, we learned that it was someone better…or, someone who was at least drafted higher. Darrius Heyward-Bey, the former #7 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft,...
Draft Profile: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
It’s time for a game. I’m going to say a name and you need to tell me the first NFL player that comes to your mind when you read it. The name is obviously Geno Smith. I’m going to assume that a large number of you either thought of Robert Griffin III or Russell Wilson. Why? Because that is what we do. Fans crave to compare players and when it comes to draft prospects, we usually...
Draft Profile: Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
Bjoern Werner could be tormenting NFL QBs very soon (Stacy Revere/Getty Images)
Bjöern Werner did not start playing football until he was 15 years old. I feel like we all overlook stories like this. Think about when you started playing a sport and how many years it took you to master the rules, feel, and flow of it. I did not start playing organized basketball until I was 11 years...
Juice This: Pro Days, Oh-No-Cinco, and Gronkitis
Juice This sources are telling us that some athletes have been performing like zombies on their “Pro Day of the Dead” auditions for NFL scouts. We’ll take a closer look at the prospects for some prospects. But even less importantly, Chad Oh-No-Cinco wants back in, the Broncos are shedding their mistakes (and man, they’ve made some), financial and otherwise, and “The Gronk”...
Ryan Fitzpatrick Gets the Second-String Burn
The quarterback position has been glorified ever since I can remember. They are the most popular, they get the girls, and they also get the big paychecks. We all want to be just like them, right? Well if there is one quarterback I would not want to be like, it is Ryan Fitzpatrick. The man went from a huge contract, to being demoted, to being cut in just a few years.
The post...

Chicago Bears Roster Revitalized
Brian Urlacher, the face of the Chicago Bears for thirteen seasons, declined their offer. After all, a one-year, $2M deal is “insulting” (as Urlacher himself put it), when you’ve been THE Bears and a “12th Man” for so long, right? Wrong, Brian. Wrong. This Bears fan has a bad taste in her mouth over the entire thing. I feel that Urlacher should have just accepted the offer...
10 NFL Free Agents Who Still Need a Team
Free agency, as usual, has died down, unless you live in Colorado and have a dodgy fax machine, as it usually does after the initial rush. However, like every year, once the public eye has turned away, there is still quality to be found to fill vital needs even if they are not the huge star signings of the offseason. These are some of the best NFL free agents still on the board and...
Greg Jennings Heads to Minnesota
In a bombshell for Green Bay Packers fans, Greg Jennings signed with the rival Minnesota Vikings roughly two weeks ago. No, it’s not as bad as when Brett Favre signed with them, but it still leaves a bad taste in many Packers fans’ mouths. He decided to take more money to play with Christian Ponder instead of Aaron Rodgers, and in doing so, he’s risked not having the chance...
