This is what I get for being so high on Steelers WR Mike Wallace. Second-year QB Dennis Dixon could end up starting for the Steelers in the wake of Byron Leftwich's knee injury. Leftwich went to the hospital for an MRI.
Alright, you guys understand how preseason works right? Understandable that fans in St. Louis are starving for any positive signs from preseason, but the rest of us need to keep some perspective.
One snap, one touchdown. Tim Tebow is putting points on the board.
Can the Pittsburgh Steelers win the division without starting QB Ben Roethlisberger to start the season?
After watching about a half hour's worth of the final week of preseason, some truths have surfaced in such a short time.
Steelers Hall of Fame QB Terry Bradshaw makes no secrets that he hopes the NFL upholds it six-game suspension of Ben Roethlisberger.
Are the Lions on the verge of being a super team? Seems kind of strange to say. Like saying Paris Hilton is on the verge of being a responsible adult.
You all may have your Christmas day, your St. Patrick's day or your Talk Like a Pirate day -- but my favorite holiday occurs when Gil Brandt hands over his fantasy football draft board.
Very few topics get the chatter going like a little Tim Tebow, who we should see a lot of on Thursday night. After a storied career at Florida, Tebow’s overwhelming popularity followed him to the NFL, where few rookies in recent memory have garnered as much interest. Fair or not, along with that notoriety comes [...]
Bills RB C.J. Spiller and Chargers RB Ryan Mathews were the top two running backs taken in the 2010 NFL Draft. But who should be the first to come off your fantasy draft board? Mathews has been given the most love in fantasy circles, but NFL Network's Warren Sapp and Michael Lombardi kick around this subject on NFL Total Access.
You shouldn't expect to see Brett Favre in the Vikings' season finale against the Broncos, but you should expect to see quite a bit of Tim Tebow.
The Matt Leinart storyline is fascinating, and we're not done talking about it.
With Saturday's deadline to cut rosters to 53 players fast approaching, the Saints' decision on what to do with Darren Sharper is looming.
Bears QB Jay Cutler is pulling a misdirection play.
The Cardinals announced during a news conference Wednesday they've signed DT Darnell Dockett to a contract extension that lasts through the 2015 season.
Anticipating a possible touchdown in the regular-season opener against the Patriots, Chad Ochocinco is planning a one-gun sulute.
If you are not high on Jahvid Best by now, you may have already missed the boat.
In the course of the last week, we've witnessed Matt Leinart go from starter to backup to likely to be cut/traded by the Cardinals.
It's sounding more and more likely that Ryan Clady's goal of returning for the regular-season opener is right on track.
Derrick Ward was released by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, putting him on the list for teams looking for veteran depth at running back.
We've seen it time and time again in the NFL: The recovery time following major knee surgery is never a certainty and rarely treats two players the same. The latest example is Kevin Smith.
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger granted an exclusive interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Tuesday, and the theme was the changes he's made after a tumultuous offseason that hit its low point when Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for six games. (Goodell will review the penalty with Roethlisberger in a face-to-face meeting Friday).
The word coming out of Arizona is that Matt Leinart has lost the confidence of his teammates.
The Baltimore Ravens have a tough decision to make on whether or not Ed Reed will start the season on the reserve/PUP list, and they'll likely take all the way up to Saturday's roster cutdown deadline to do it.
A little rookie hazing? Nope. The video depicts members of the Dolphins looking for Dolphins DE Kendall Langford's 2.5 karat earring that he lost during practice. This must go over well with the no-nonsense approach from Dolphins Exec. VP of Football Operations Bill Parcells.
Chris Cook impressed during preseason, to the point he was considered the favorite to start opposite Antoine Winfield. Now, he's out at least two weeks with a knee injury that leaves the Vikings' secondary thin.
RBs Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson have returned to practice for the Bills, which is great because somebody needs to carry C.J. Spiller's bags. Normally the rookie is set to tote the Samsonite, but Spiller should be the one toting the ball for the Bills.
Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno pronounced himself 80 percent ready for the upcoming season, leaving fantasy enthusiasts to scratch their heads and say, "What do we do now?"
The curious (and costly) case of Antonio Bryant in Cincinnati has ended, but it might not be over.
We can always rely on DeAngelo Hall for some entertainment.
