Where will Michael Vick land?  He’s been cleared to sign with a team, but there hasn’t been an announcement.  His agent says that a deal is close.  I believe it’s with the UFL, the new 4-team football league that will begin play in 2009.  Here’s a few of the other rumors that have been bounced [...]

Jamaal Anderson Proving The Critics Wrong
Anderson is a borderline bust at this point, being a top-10 pick in 2007 and having a less-than-stellar first 2 years in the NFL.  He improved quite a bit in 2008, especially against the run and has a chance to play a lot better in 2009.  Some yelled for him [...]

Tony Gonzalez and his Goal Post Dunks

The best tight end is coming to Atlanta and will help the offense in the red zone.  The Falcons were proficient with their running game inside the 20-yard line, but their passing could use some help.  A fade route to Roddy White isn’t a bad option at all, but [...]

In breaking down the NFC South salary cap situation, Ovie Mughelli got some harsh criticism by ESPN recently.  The fullback has the 9th highest salary in Atlanta in 2009, which was called out as very high for a position of diminishing importance.
I will defend Atlanta and Mughelli for his salary in 2009 and his importance [...]

Unlike Marvin Harrison, Rodney is a more intriguing option for the Atlanta Falcons.  Erik Coleman is pretty locked in at the free safety position, but the strong side….who knows?
Yes, Atlanta just signed 2nd round pick William Moore and he is the future, but is he a starter in 2009?  Atlanta hopes so, but you have [...]

They are past their prime, but still serviceable players in the NFL, yet no team has signed them yet. 
Marvin Harrison is one of the finest wide receivers in the history of the game.  In the span of a couple years, Harrison has gone from Peyton Manning’s favorite target and perennial 100-catch guy to unemployed after [...]

It’s very difficult to keep your emotions out of our fantasy football draft.  Yes, everyone has their favorite teams and players, but loving a player in real life is different than making a good fantasy football decision.  If you are looking to have a lineup that you like the most - you probably won’t win [...]

The Saints were arguably the best last-place team in the NFL in 2008.  They were a high-flying offense, but weak on defense and inconsistent on the ground.  In 2009, New Orleans benefits from playing Detroit and St.Louis as their “strength of schedule” games, but with the volatility of the NFL, last year’s laughing stocks can [...]

Carolina received a 1st place schedule thanks to a 12-4 finish in 2008 with games against Minnesota and Arizona.  Vegas has the Panthers with 8.5 wins in 2009 for all the bettors out there.  Here’s a few highlights from their upcoming schedule:
The Panthers open up with a difficult 3-game stretch before their week 4 bye [...]

The Vegas line for 2009 season wins has been set for the NFL recently.  These are the guys that make millions on sports betting - these guys are good at setting these lines.  My first observation was that a ton of teams, especially in the NFC, were between 7-9 wins for the over/under.  That’s basically [...]
