This is their year. I promise.

we have had one for about the last 48 hours. I was trying to find one to get on it, but there was none to be found, and I decided we must have one.

Good decision. There are plenty of folks around who post to the occasional NFL articles.

Sorry to see Wright leave the Trojans, but reading between the lines, he was going to flunk out of school and be ineligible anyway.

May 11th I believe. I didn't take as much time as I could have finding articles. During the season there will be the previous week's results, stories, injuries, and the next week's schedule, much more work

I don't know if I should even bother watching this year. My Dolphins are... well, they're lucky if they pull out a break-even season.

New coach, yes, I know... maybe I'll watch the opening game.

you never know. Saban should do well. Having their best corner hurt in practice and being out for the season doesn't help matters. At least they got one of the two best running backs in the draft.

I would say one of the two are going to break. Either the team will lose its first few games and rush to do whatever owens wants or he'll see they aren't moving (the more likely scenario) and he'll stop. Either way I bet he gets cut next year.

I believe it's standard for people to not be allowed to do risky stuff, such as motorcycle riding, skydiving, etc.

Former Jets kicker Brien agrees to terms with Bears

I think I'm the only hard-core Jets fan who doesn't hate Doug Brien. The guy had one bad game. That's not to say I'm not looking forward to seeing what Mike Nugent can do for us.

I agree, but it would have been stupid for the Jets to bring him back

How so? Their practice field has had fieldturf for quite a while, so they're already used to it.
