The Two Faces of NFL Free Agency

I really don’t like NFL free agency. Yes, it’s exciting seeing teams sign players that they hope will fill important needs at certain positions before the NFL Draft in May. Yes, it gives teams with cap space that had poor records the previous year a way to give their fans hope that playoffs are actually possible the next season. And …

Grateful to Be Mentioned Among Historic Women

An GREAT article came out today by Melissa Isaacson on ESPNW regarding the state of women in the NFL, and my contributions were included in the piece.

Connie’s Pep Talk: Week 1 – Jets vs Bucs

Unpredictable and Exciting! Opening Day in the NFL is totally unpredictable. I’d like to find the person who thought the Ravens would give up 7 TD passes and would have lost by 30 points if a player on a pick 6 of Flacco hadn’t decided to be a dummy, showboat, and drop the ball casually before he crossed the Goal …

How to Stop the Read-Option? Hit the QB, HARD.

Forget the Tuck Rule or RB Helmet Rule All I heard the past few months were the changes to the “Tuck Rule” and the penalty on the RB lowering and hitting with the crown of his helmet.  It was all over every sports talk show. While at Jet scamp the NFL referees  came and went over all the rule changes with …
