Coach Rick Venturi Loves the Rams 2013 Draft Class
by Kent Sterling When the Rams concluded their rookie minicamp last weekend, people marveled at the explosiveness of #8 overall pick WR Tavon Austin. There was also high praise for LB Alec Ogletree of Georgia. If they are as good as advertised when the season starts, this draft class will mark the second where GM […]
Coach Rick Venturi Loves Colts 2013 Draft Class
by Kent Sterling The 2012 draft for the Colts yielded some spectacular results. Andrew Luck, Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen, T.Y.

by Kent Sterling Only one back-up quarterback in NFL history could claim a breaking news alert on ESPN for his release, and it happened today with Tim Tebow. The New York Jets cut ties with Tebow this morning, and the coverage is just short of the death of a former president. The Jets drafted Geno […]
Life is too short to spend any of it on the New York Jets roster. Rex Ryan is the ringmaster of a dysfunctional circus that draws a crowd of irrational malcontents. He has no chance to succeed because the team is incapable of success. Smith could go 21-of-22, and Jets fans would spend Monday morning […]
