“The Ultimate Sin”: Tebow Cancels Appearance At Mega-Church
You could almost hear the record needle scratch. ‘ On Sunday morning’s edition of “The FOX Fantasy Freaks” radio show, I introduced the topic of Tim Tebow’s forthcoming appearance at the First Baptist Church of Dallas, a mega-church run by the controversial Dr. Robert Jeffress. At the time I raised the topic, I questioned the [...]
FMC: John Elway of the Denver Broncos
He’s a two-time Super Bowl winner and Hall of Famer. He’s now charged with leading the Broncos back on the road to New Orleans and the Lombardi Trophy. In a week when Roger Goodell laid the proverbial smackdown to the Saints in the bounty scandal and left no question as to his authority, Elway did [...]
Bears Fans Cheer Signing of Michael Bush: Forte Grumbles
It’s been an interesting two weeks across this sporting landscape. We celebrated that annual rite of spring, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. (You didn’t think I was going to say Major League Baseball spring training, did you?) The NFL calendar year started with a flurry of activity and big-dollar contracts. I’ll forgo the laundry list [...]
The Time for Debate is Over: Manning Season Begins on Wednesday
It was a foregone conclusion. At least, we all assumed that the release of Peyton Manning by the Colts was inevitable. I suppose there was some sliver of hope among the most ardent Manning fans that he and the Colts would find some common ground in terms of a reduced salary for a year or [...]

It just didn’t look like he had a hold on the offense.” To those who tuned out the media following the weekend’s Divisional Playoffs, you’d probably assume that this was more of the fallout from the Jets’ locker room. Instead, future Hall [...]

Jerricho Cotchery Released: Is Derrick Mason Coming In?
The New York Jets released Jerricho Cochery, as expected, on Thursday afternoon. His absence, combined with the previous departure of receiver/returner Brad Smith, leaves a gap in the New York receiving corps. Dustin Keller is the rock-solid tight end in the offense, and the team did work quickly to sign both Santonio Holmes and Plaxico [...]

FMC: LaDainian Tomlinson of the Jets
Tomlinson has experienced a resurgence in New York. He’s running behind a better offensive line and is thriving as one of the veteran pieces of a strong Jets squad. We anticipated that he’d earn a better rushing average as the complement to Shonn Greene while vulturing some of the goal-line work. Tomlinson’s proficiency in the [...]
