True Predictions: New England Patriots, Brett Favre, Dallas Cowboys, Jay Leno

Posted by Frank Nevarez Categories: Editorial, NFL

The new season has begun and it’s time to look at how things will shape up in Week Two.  Remember, it’s a long season, so get comfy and let’s take a look at the big news coming out of the NFL.

Carolina Panthers’ QB Jake Delhomme’s confidence is shot and his ace receiver, Steve Smith, doesn’t believe in him either.  Bill Cowher, meet your new team.

Super Bowl 2009 participants, the Arizona Cardinals, lose Game One to the San Francisco 49ers. Ouch, what’s the percentage of teams losing the first game of the season and winning the Super Bowl? Not good. What’s the percentage of losing Super Bowl teams tanking the next season?  Sometimes history is a cruel thing.

NFL Preview: Carolina Panthers

Posted by Kevin Moore Categories: NFL

CAROLINA PANTHERS
2007 RECORD: 7-9

Overview: The Carolina Panthers had a very disappointing season in ‘07. After being picked by many to compete for the crown of best in the NFC, they finished with a dismal 7-9 record.  The level of frustration has been building for quite some time and finally exploded this summer.  All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith broke Ken Lucas’ nose during an altercation at practice. Smith’s inspired play has always been appreciated; unfortunately, at times it appears that he is the only one with that motivation.  The Panthers’ season seems to ride with the play of quarterback Jake Delhomme as while he was injured last season, the team collapsed.  After he was deemed unable to perform, the getting sacked king, David Carr, took over. This only exacerbated their awful offensive play.

FF Preview: Top Tier Wide Recievers

Posted by Sean O'Connor Categories: Athletes, Fantasy, NFL

Fantasy Football Drafts are in full swing now with only two weeks remaining until the season kicks off.

Here are my top 10 fantasy football recievers for 2006:

1. Chad Johnson: You know he is going to have yet another big year as this offense will get better and better with Carson Palmer’s maturity.
2. Steve Smith: He was huge last year, and is bound to catch more balls with a servicable number 2 reciever lining up on the other side.
3. Larry Fitzgerald: He’s young and as long as Kurt Warner can stay upright, he is sure to get in the end zone upwards of 10 times.
4. Marvin Harrison: I dont care if he’s getting up there in years, no one is more consistent.  The Colts are going to be throwing even more this year.
5. Tory Holt: The other Mr. Consistency. He’ll put up good to great numbers year in and year out.
6. Terell Owens: He’d be worth the risk at this point in time.  Drew Bledsoe is bound to have a career year with all of his options and if Terell gets fully healthy he is as good as anyone.
7. Reggie Wayne: Another Colt? Peyton is going to spread it to both of these guys again this year.
8. Randy Moss: He was the best once up a time.  Now he is just above average.
9. Chris Chambers: Again, this guys stats depend on his quarterback.  It remains to be seen how much partying Dante will be doing on South Beach this fall.
10. Santana Moss: he is flat out dangerous and should get plenty of single coverage this year.
