It looks like Matt Leinart’s last game for the Cardinals could be in Preseason Week 4 against the Redskins
That beeping sound that you have been hearing throughout the 2010 NFL preseason is an alarm sounding on the Arizona Cardinals’ career of former 2006 first round pick QB Matt Leinart.
To say the least, the former Heisman “Golden Boy” quarterback will soon have to pick up the pieces of his once promising career in another city. All signs are pointing to the Cardinals not finding a trade partner – rumored...

Barry and the Cowboys yawned their way to a 6-10 record in 1997, effectively ending their dynasty in the 1990s.
The talk before the 1997 season was whether the Cowboys could outplay the Packers and gain home field advantage for the playoffs. Few were concerned with whether the Cowboys would make the playoffs. Even fewer wondered whether Dallas would manage a winning season.
Little did anyone know at the Cowboys had been reduced to a field-goal-kicking machine.
Week 1: Dallas 37, Pittsburgh 7
The Cowboys looked most impressive...

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan is ranked as the 13th best quarterback in the NFL by ESPN’s John Clayton, but he should be higher…in my humble opinion
If I have said it once, I have said it 1,000 times…”The NFL is a quarterback driven league”. So one of my favorite past times is comparing league quarterbacks against each other. And this year, ESPN’s John Clayton helped further the debate by recently posting his annual quarterback rankings. Clayton broke down the league’s starters into 3 divisions (The...

So what better than a random thought column, eh? We have a couple of them floating around, such as Top Ten Fantasy Football Team Names—a personal favorite of mine—and even a great piece highlighting what you should do if you are Having Trouble Managing Multiple Leagues, which is a...

Brandon Spikes does a great job of tackling tight ends — on and off the field.
On the field, the Patriots tape game footage (legally of course. We wouldn’t want another Spygate would we?) of their rookie linebacker and review that game footage to make him better.
Off the field, Spikes apparently taped a sexual encounter with a fine-looking woman in a...

If you thought the Patriots defense was bad, look out: it’s about to get a whole lot worse. The Patriots surprisingly placed No. 1 cornerback Leigh Bodden on season-ending injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Bodden’s injury comes just two days before the team’s final preseason game, and less than two weeks before the regular season.
Bodden had missed most of...

The Cowboys added some speed to its linebacking corps by picking Dexter Coakley in the third round of the 1997 draft.
By 1997, the Cowboys were a team hoping to turn back the clock by three or four years. Dallas hoped that the trio of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin had enough to keep the team in the championship hunt, but each of them was starting to show cracks during the 1996 season.
More problematic was that the talent level of the surrounding cast...
