It almost seems like the NFL should give Detroit two picks at the top of the draft to try and even things out after their abysmal 0-16 effort during the 2008 campaign. 

It’s not unheard of for the MAC to produce big time talent. You don’t have to look much further than the Pittsburgh Steelers to find two of the most accomplished MAC alumni, Jack Lambert (Kent State) and Ben Roethlisberger (Miami, OH).

It’s always nice to see the good guys get rewarded, in sports and in life. Charles “Peanut” Tillman of the Chicago Bears is one of those good guys, and he got rewarded in a big way last summer.

Just one year removed from an All-Pro season, Antonio Cromartie could now be on the way out in San Diego, and Anthony Blake is asking why.

Some of the biggest names in the NFL have come from small schools, whether it’s DeMarcus Ware or London Fletcher. Joe Brown knows this and gives you the biggest “little” names who could make a major difference in the league.

Brian Dawkins signed with the Denver Broncos this weekend, and C.G. Morelli wonders why the Eagles would allow that to happen. He reaches out to team management with this inspired letter.

Sure, Sage Rosenfels has had some nice moments in his career, but E. Spencer Kyte wonders what Minnesota was thinking in signing him as their starting quarterback this week.

Fortunes are won and lost each year at the NFL Combine. Anthony Blake runs down the biggest winners and losers this year.

He left the game while still in his prime. Barry Sanders could’ve been the best there ever was, and Brendon Rosenau is here to help us connect the dots to what might have been.

Before the Chicago Bears selected him in the first round of the 1983 NFL (out of the University of Tennessee), Willie Gault had already become an accomplished track athlete.Gault was part of a world-record setting 4x100 relay team for Team USA.
