What if Robin got his shot?
Batman and Robin. Super hero, understudy. Always has been that way, always will be. Robin is always an afterthought compared to Batman, because Batman is Batman. It has nothing to do with what Robin has done or hasn’t done. In fact, unless you are the type of person who really studied the comics, you don’t…

Favre Comeback – Where do I begin?
Not that it can possibly be a secret at this point, but the word is Brett Favre wants to come back and play again. The Packers don’t want him, they don’t want to release him either. They want him retired. Sorry Brett, should’ve thought of this before you announced your retirement. Bummer for Brett, but…

Yahoo! Ranks Bears Offense as Useless in Fantasy Play
During their pre-season fantasy rankings of teams, Yahoo! picked the Chicago Bears as dead last for fantasy value. This should come as no surprise, as the Bears have clearly shown that they have no interest in winning games or even scoring points anywhere inside the next 4 years. The team is clearly trying to trim…

Packers to actually blitz this season? Hmm…
ESPN.com has an article talking about the increased emphasis on the blitz during mini-camps this summer. It’s obvious to anyone who has watched the Jim Bates/Bob Sanders era defense that the Packers rarely send anyone but the front four after the QB. Last season, the Packers blitzed on about 22% of passing plays. The NFL…

Now what?
What did I say at the ’07 draft? Everyone on the planet said it, why did we pick Justin Harrell? The guy was always hurt, and no surprise, he’s hurt again. Can we cut this dude, eat his signing bonus and stop paying 1st round money to someone who will be on the PUP list…

Bengals making a stand with Johnson?
The line has been drawn in the sad. Chad Johnson says he will not be a Bengal anymore. Cinci says they are keeping Chad. So now what? I don’t see Johnson retiring anytime soon. He probably won’t risk the humiliation of backing down now. After trying to present a tougher image recently, it seems the…

Favre comeback rumors
So there were briefly some rumors about a Brett Favre comeback. Believe it or not, old Bus Cook was thrown out there as part of the story. The claim is that Cook has been trying to work out a trade for the retired QB. If this is true, it seems to be poorly thought out.…

So now the Raiders are going to have Asomugha, Hall, Routt, Washington in the corner spot. That’s like $35 million a year in defensive backs! Are they going to make a trade or start playing a Dime base defense?
