Arthur Blank: I’d like to believe that Blank, having served as the NFL’s most shameless enabler (for Michael Vick), has snapped out of his adulatory haze and will now become the star he has always had the potential to be. I’d also like to believe that the hiring of former Patriots scouting director Tom Dimitroff [...]

The Dark Knight. Easily the biggest movie of the year. The most talked about, the most hyped. But is it worth it…….. Yes, it is.

I am a Sirius subscriber. I love NFL radio and all I seem to hear from anyone is the Favre saga so I am going to take this time to throw in my two cents on the issue. First off, let me say I don’t like what he and his agent are doing. Brett Favre is a great QB, certainly [...]

After picking up Matt Ryan with the third overall pick in the draft it’s hard to beleive that there may be questions as to who will be starting under center come September.

If you watched the 2008 NFL Draft or any related programs that have analyzed the Falcon’s pick at three, you heard Matt Ryan’s intangibles be compared to the likes of Tom Brady on more than one occassion. While the number he wears on his back in the NFL will probably not be a factor in his [...]
