Joe Posnanski seems like a good guy. He’s also a helluva writer. Still, I think he’s better at covering the diamond than he is the gridiron. Additionally, I think he was pulling for Herm Edwards harder than anyone outside of Harm’s immediate family. The guy always seemed like he loved him some Harm, and he [...]

First off, my latest over on FOX Sports is on Darren Sproles. Here’s a snippet:
The year was 2002. I was a bartender at Gilligan’s Bar and Grill in Manhattan, Kan., just blocks away from the Kansas State University campus. It was late on a Friday night. The place was packed — it was always packed [...]

(I thought long-time commenter Doc’s comment on Iowa Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz, a possible part of the increasingly likely Scott Pioli package, was worth featuring. I don’t know a ton about Ferentz, but I do know that the NFL has been interested in him for much of this decade. Thanks, Doc! - Adam)
I’ve been waiting [...]

According to SI.com’s Don Banks, the Chiefs are indeed looking like the most likely destination for coveted GM prospect Scott Pioli. From SI.com (via Arrowhead Pride):
Reading the latest tea leaves, that puts Pioli in the Chiefs’ wheelhouse. League sources tell me Pioli seems excited about the opportunity in Kansas City, which he’s believed to be [...]

At least for now, with two big sacks. Jared Allen straight up embarrassed Tra Thomas on that speed-rush move that resulted in a sack and a Donovan McNabb fumble. That was a huge, huge play in a game just as big.
I can’t say that I don’t miss the guy, but I still think we were [...]

I have my eye on a number of things today…
1. Baltimore Ravens Defense
It’s not just athleticism and talent that makes this unit go, but also experience and cohesiveness. That’s why I advocate us restocking our defensive front seven via free agency. I really have my eye on Terrell Suggs, who probably should be the Chiefs’ [...]

Wow. This is surprising. I guess Tom Brady’s recovery really is behind schedule. From ESPN:
The New England Patriots have decided to ensure that quarterback Matt Cassel won’t be an unrestricted free agent, as scheduled in March.
Sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the Patriots will use a franchise tag on Cassel that will [...]

Darren Sproles had 35 total touches for 328 all-purpose yards, including the game-winning touchdown. He didn’t even get shaken up once that I saw. Don’t tell me this guy can’t be a 20-touch back, because we all saw differently tonight. I’ll drop a full post on this soon, but for now I just wanted to [...]

Wow. Big potential news out of Dallas. From ESPN:
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hasn’t changed his mind about firing coach Wade Phillips, but Mike Shanahan would be the leading candidate if he ever does make a move, according to team sources.
Mike Shanahan, a fan of Tony Romo, could end up with the Cowboys in 2010.
Shanahan’s [...]

Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald carried the Arizona Cardinals to victory today. Their early domination opened the running lanes up for what had been the league’s worst rushing attack coming into the game. Fitzgerald also was either the receiver or the decoy on Kurt Warner’s late game-clinching drive. In my opinion, Boldin’s pulled hammy is [...]
