ESPN's Adam Schefter dropped a Philadelphia-size bomb on Sunday, when he reported that the Eagles traded away Donovan McNabb to the Redskins for the 37th overall pick in the 2010 draft plus a conditional third or fourth-round selection in next year's draft. The shock waves will be ...Published on: 2nd April, 2010
Tim Tebow has remained the center attention during his move from the NCAA to the NFL, for both supporters and doubters. Tebow's list of accomplishments has been repeated (ad nauseum) for over a year leading up to this day and will be repeated for another 20 days and ...Published on: 26th March, 2010
People always say that it's impossible to tell how a team performs in the offseason through trades, free agency, and the draft until the season's over. 2010 is no different, so there's no purpose in discussing that now. Instead, let's take a look back a year at the New England Patriots' offseason ...Published on: 22nd March, 2010
1. They've Struck Gold with Nearly Every First-Round Pick Since 2000 From Richard Seymour to Jerod Mayo, the Patriots have done remarkably well with talent evaluation in the first round this past decade. There really have only been a couple of questionable selections in Benjamin Watson and Laurence Maroney. When you consider, ...Published on: 16th March, 2010
I have made some derogatory comments in the past about how the Patriots have signed a few too many aging running backs to their roster. I will, however, go on record as saying that I was relieved when the news broke last week that New England came to terms on a ...Published on: 13th March, 2010
Dead at 30. That's what the careers of many great, elite, even historic running backs have become at that age. It's almost as if doomsday arrives the minute the clock tolls midnight of the 30th birthday. Despite how relaxing and enjoyable it may seem to retire at 30 years old, no position has ...Published on: 8th March, 2010
A new day, a new year. Even though most of the rest of the world celebrated New Year's on January 1, the NFL celebrated theirs with a bang on March 5. Many teams, such as the Chicago Bears, couldn't wait to get the festivities underway, and enjoyed a bit of ...Published on: 7th March, 2010
To all the Chicken Littles who said the sky was falling on New England, it looks as if the Patriots won't stand idly by and await their dynasty's doomsday. No, they have different plans that involve the same players. Free agency has been a whirlwind for the many teams that are taking ...Published on: 28th February, 2010
Every player in the NFL wants the spotlight. For some players, the premature spotlight of a first round selection will become bittersweet when they are tagged with the shunned label of "bust". Others will go unnoticed, however, and will have to hope for a phone call as an undrafted free agent. Good ...Published on: 25th February, 2010
I don't envy the Patriots' scouting crew's job—not at all. If I learned just one thing writing this mock draft, it's that evaluating talent for the NFL draft is as tough a job as I've ever been faced with. Even though it's been inappropriately labeled by many as a crapshoot, every ...
