Man I hope Ed Reed retires or loses a limb this off-season. I truly feel Tommy Z could be a Pro Bowl safety in the mode of a John Lynch or Rodney Harrison. He will knock peoples' heads off! He is also more athletic and was an outstanding punt returner in college.<div> </div><div>He has done his...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to plug Nick Hayden a little. I played with him in high school (he was a year younger) and am proud of how he did this year. He racked up 30 tackles and 1.5 sacks despite limited playing time in the DT rotation. Hopefully next year he gets a chance to more prolonged...

Haha, they labled Joe Thomas as not athletic enough??<div>I played against him in high school. He is from the Milwaukee area, the Brookfield suburb to be exact.</div><div>He is a 6'7" 310 lbs guy with no gut. He could have qualified for the Olympics had he tried to in the shot put. He was an...

I've never heard of him before reading that article, but judging strictly from the quality of the writing (not to mention the over-the-top racism that would never fly at a legitimate publication) he is of no consequence whatsoever.<div> </div><div>Still, it irks me that he had the balls to write...

It's a nice breakdown but you can literally do the same thing for Matthews to downplay his accomplishments.<div> </div><div>For example: Matthews had 3 sacks against PHI in the opener and against BUF in the 2nd game of the season. Everyone sacks the Philly QB, whether it was Kolb or (especially...

I would even argue that James Harrison was just as important to the Steelers defense. In reality, the Packers and Steelers are very similar in style and execution on defense (the Packers thankfully are much more racially diversified).<div> </div><div>Matthews and Woodson makes great LB-DB combo...

That guy is a despicable racist. Amazing that his followers even read that junk... If they can. Never have I see a more poorly written article. It was full of grammatical and punctual errors throughout.

The reason Troy doesn't make as many tackles as some safties is because the Steelers defense is so great. No one can run on them. Even the great Peyton Hillis struggled against the Steelers.<div> </div><div>Matthews, as a linebacker, had 60 tackles. Not a very high number. I think that gets held...

I love Clay Matthews as much as anyone, being from Milwaukee and a fan of the Green Bay Packers. I've watched every single game they played this year and while Matthews has been outstanding I don't believe he deserved DPOY honestly. Were it not for the first couple weeks where he racked up half...

Chakhkiev has fast hands and a killer instinct. Those are two weapons I would place an absolute premium on if I were creating the ultimate fighter. He seems to have good defense as well as good pop.<div> </div><div>But he's listed at only 6'0", and it wouldn't surprise me if he was slightly...

I absolutely love the cruiserweight division right now! Big guys who can punch like hell, but are in shape and willing to trade all day. In reality, several of the heavyweights now should get in actual boxing shape and they would find themselves cruisers.<div> </div><div>Chakhkiev should remain...

Snow - Too right, whites have just never been given the chance to succeed at running back since the mid-80s. Merrill Hoge was a very talented runner who could have easily broken the 1,000 yard barrier if he had been given enough carries. Alstott, as you pointed out, was used primarily as a...

And therein lies the reason Caste Football was created, I reckon. Devine is not a bad football player. Hell, there are lots of great football players who never even play college ball. Devine should have been playing at Wisconsin-Oshkosh or Whitewater (had to through in the Wisco reference) not a...

I noticed there wasn't a comment section after that "article"... otherwise I would have ripped that racist a new cornhole!<div> </div><div>This guy must truly feel threatened by white athlete's proving that if they are given the chance they can do just as well as black ones, maybe even better...

Electric Slide, I sure hope so! Such a shame the white athlete has to go through and prove himself four times the amount the black athlete does, but that is the society we live right now. The only way Peyton Hillis doesn't become a Pro Bowler next year (barring some major freak injury) is if he...

Nope, but the biggest loud-mouth bigot often gets the press unfortunately.

I agree, he as worn down a bit but not because he can't be a 250-300 carry a year running back... But because he was hit so much due to the absolute rubbish offensive talent around him... Scratch that, I can't even say talent because the affletes around him possessed none!<div> </div><div>Like...

Westside, totally agree!<div> </div><div>Plus, I truly feel he should have lost to Cooper.</div><div> </div><div>He was good no doubt, but far from the GOAT like people like to call him.</div><div> </div><div>In my mind, in ten years time Klitschko, Marciano, Tyson and Louis will be the four...

It makes me sick how Hillis is being treated still. I have been arguing, with Browns fans no less, on the espn boards about how talented Hillis is. Many of them want him to have many fewer carries next year and Hardesty to take a lot. Maybe a 60/40 Hillis/Hardesty split! Ludicrous!<div>...

Ali is incredibly overrated, imo. He fought a lot of nobodies in the 60s (and should have lost a couple) and got many gift-decision later in the 70s. He had great heart, fast hands but poor defense and poor skills.<div> </div><div>But he called himself the Greatest enough where people fell for...

This is also what hurts the American boxing scene. So many of the local gyms, which used to have club fighters in abundance, are shutting down or have been gone for years.<div> </div><div>To find something similar, check out the any number of MMA gyms cropping up in cities around the country...

No, not at all. I consider Ken Norton to have had a weak chin. He had pretty decent boxing skills, but he couldn't take a punch.<div> </div><div>My Polish hero Adamek is a small heavyweight by today's standards, yet he moved up from cruiser and is dominating. He, at least to me, is clearly the...
