Drafted in the first round (29th overall) Cordarrelle Patterson looks to produce big right away for the Vikings

I’ve recently started to shift gears a bit to NFL/College/Fantasy Football (it is that time, you know); and while I maintain that I’ll be retiring from Fantasy Football when I turn 32 (three more years!) recent developments have caused me to rethink my decision.

New York Jets Have A Chance To Make Things Right, Revis Will Get His Chance In NFC South

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.

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.

What is the problem in Dallas? Continue reading “National Football League 2012: The Dallas Cowboys Problem Isn’t Jerry Jones, Its Their Past”

National Football League 2012: New York Giants Antrel Rolle’s Words For Bengals Star AJ Green Could Come Back To Haunt Him
