Revis stated in his press conference that the NFC South (with Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, and Cam Newton) was a "good fit" for him.
Revis says the NFC South (with Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, and Cam Newton) is a “good fit” for him. I’m not so sure.

Well it finally happened. The New York Jets finally traded one of the best cover and the best holdout corner in the National Football League.

National Football League 2012: The Dallas Cowboys Problem Isn’t Jerry Jones, Its Their Past

I’ve been thinking about this for a little while because it has been puzzling me.

I’ve been thinking about how the Dallas Cowboys, “America’s Team”, “The Star” could go from such unmatched success to such a decline. I’ve heard every excuse imaginable from the media, fans, the team itself, other players, etc., but I decided (because I’ve been that drained from standardized testing study) to spend some of my free time trying to solve one of professional sports most intriguing mysteries.
