    Casey Matthews

    so what are they going to do now, with their scapegoat gone? Rookie Brian Rolle has replaced Casey Matthews as the Eagles' starting WILL linebacker. And with that, the Casey Matthews experiment is officially over. The Eagles tried to make the fourth-round rookie their starting middle...

    Jason Witten

    Witten is having yet another great season, barring injury i am sure he will get 1k, again. now, that blurb on rotoworld just set me off: Beat writer Tim MacMahon says it's "just a matter of time" before Martellus Bennett moves on from the Cowboys. Bennett needs a change of scenery. He oozes...

    White sportmen that could have been great athletes

    Shane Williams would have made a great scatback in football, Danny Woodhead type.

    2010 Atlanta Falcons

    he's declining already?! (speedwise, at 29 is your peak with proper conditioning, can even last longer than that). Roddy White - WR - Falcons Roddy White leads the NFL in drops with four. It's an uncharacteristic distinction for White, who dropped just three passes all of last season...

    Rugby World Cup 2011

    indeed! the gap between tier 1 teams and the rest is closing each year. Argentina is already up there with top 5 sides, Italy will eventually join them as well, their progress is incredible seeing how they used to be barely above the likes of Spain (who at least do real well in 7s) 10, 15 years...

    Sean Lee

    another positive post on rotoworld: Cowboys LB Bradie James says ILB Sean Lee is "playing out of control" in a good way this season. We haven't seen five better linebackers in the NFL through three weeks. Lee has led the Cowboys in tackles all three games while adding his second interception...

    Casey Matthews

    there's some serious hate for Matthews on Philly.com, and i'm guessing overall in Eagles DWFdom. upsetting stuff. granted, i barely saw any of the Eagles play so i am not sure how has he been playing but there's some much bile there it's unbelievable. EDIT> link for the ones that want to...

    Pat Angerer, LB

    i think he deserves his own thread after that feat: Colts LB Pat Angerer recorded 20 tackles in Sunday night's loss to the Steelers. It's the most tackles by a Colt since Bob Sanders had 20 in 2005. Angerer, who was kicked to the middle to replace Gary Brackett (shoulder), posted 11 solo...

    Rugby World Cup 2011

    Argies are a top side now, equal to most Northern Hemisphere teams, and on any given day they can give Aussies a run for their money!

    NFL Week 3

    this doesn't count as a sack for Kerrigan?

    NFL Week 3

    i just thought he would jump over to free safety since Landry is back. i thought wrong. so far, a pretty boring game from our point of view. EDIT i seemed to have missed Lee's interception! Ryan Kerrigan with a sack + forced fumble!

    NFL Week 3

    Chris Cooley with his first career carry, he's become a h-back/fullback now. he also had a nice catch on the first series, while Davis alligator armed a catch over the middle on a third down... is Doughty injured or did their leading tackler somehow got relegated? He's not inactive... Sean Lee...

    wes welker

    from roto: The Patriots defense has now surrendered a 400-yard game to the Dolphins and 80+ receiving yards to four different Bills. As long as that continues, Wes Welker is going to pile up monster numbers in shootouts. Welker leads all NFL receivers in targets (43), receptions (31), and yards...

    2011 St. Louis Rams

    well, at least we found out that Salas is indeed being treated as a white player (regardless of his possible mixed heritage, he looks pretty white to me) he was inactive yesterday after not playing well in his first NFL start (replacing injured Amendola), had he been black, plenty of excuses...

    Peyton Hillis

    ha, thanks for the link to a positive article for a change, jreb, i needed a pickup! as far as the rhetorical question goes, whites are never beneficieries of that sort of thing, they are only susceptible to it when it's their playing time that stands to decrease in favor of a black player. it...

    Peyton Hillis

    from rotoworld: Peyton Hillis (strep throat) was able to attend Browns team meetings Monday after sitting out Sunday's game. It sounds like he's getting better. The Browns likely consider Hillis day to day and probable to start Week 4 against the Titans. Keep in mind that Montario Hardesty is...

    NFL Week 3

    Urban´s situation is puzzling, at the very least. he was better off as a fourth receiver, at least he had some catches! also, media raved about Meier and Cooper and they are nowhere to be found, 4th and 5th receiver at best... Woodhead's situation doesn't bother me as much for a simple...

    NFL Week 3

    this is rotoworld's spin. i will reserve my judgement of this whole situation until next game, i am sure Hillis will prevail as a starter, what needs to be avoided is both of them playing and Hardesty getting more of long runs etc, which i am sure will be christened as big play ability and then...

    NFL Week 3

    and Mendenhall was supposed to run all over Brackett-less defense. great game by Angerer and good game defensively for the Colts, they shut down the run and had some huge plays, now get some defensive backs that can cover or tackle, maybe even both. Jesus, someone block Polamalu? what a great...

    NFL Week 3

    Garçon's quote: "that's been his problem, he's a very good receiver, but he drops a lot of passes." so just how the **** is he a very good receiver if he can't do pretty much the only thing they need him to do while Collie, Clark or White catch everything thrown their way? it's my number 2...

    NFL Week 3

    from rotoworld: Jordy Nelson caught three passes for 40 yards in Week 3 against the Bears. Nelson took a backseat to Jermichael Finley's 2011 coming out party, as he saw just five targets in the game. He has just four receptions across the past two games, but it's clear he's the team's No. 2...
