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.

Preseason Day After You know it’s Preseason when your team wins by 24 points and the next day you don’t feel like celebrating. Offense I really like Marty Mornhinweg’s offense as it is developing. I love the pulling guards and separation our receivers are getting this year. Jeff Cumberland and Konrad Reuland are giving me confidence at TE. The

Sometimes it’s the greatest and others, privacy is gone and long forgotten. We hear stories about Bobby Layne, Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor, Studio 54 happenings, Joe

Robert Kraft just spoke out saying he was “duped” by Aaron Hernandez and I just don’t buy it. Kraft is a very intelligent and savvy businessman, and he’s experienced these PR headaches in the past. Once you’ve gone through a serious issue, you learn to be prepared for the future. He’s been through Spygate, signing Haynesworth, a guy who stomps

Yesterday I found myself watching the men’s finals at Wimbledon. I’m not a big tennis fan but this was more than just a regular Championship. Andy Murray had the weight of his Country (the Brits who hadn’t won in 77 years) on his shoulders. He was playing the #1 player in the world, and last year he lost there to

Oh how I still miss the excitement of Draft time in the NFL! When I was 16 I began holding my own mock drafts using “Street and Smiths” football book and watching the one game of the week on TV with Keith Jackson announcing. My dad and uncle were the two team physicians for the Jets and they became my
