Detroit Lions New Logo and Uniform "Revealed"

The Detroit Lion's organization can only watch in what I would think is complete disbelief at what is occurring. For most of the offseason, the organization has kept the new uniform and logo designs very close to their chest...

Fantasy Football Focus: Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings are on the verge of becoming a playoff contender. They are a strong defensive team, have arguably the best running attack in the league, and play in a weak NFC North division...

Fantasy Football Focus: Jacksonville Jaguars

Head Coach Jack Del Rio shook the team up last year by cutting their starting quarterback at the time, Byron Leftwich. Back-up David Garrard then led the team to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth...

Fantasy Football Focus: Indianapolis Colts

The Colts have sat atop of the AFC South for quite a few years now, and some of their players have reaped the fantasy benefits. Quarterback Peyton Manning has been considered one of the best quarterbacks (if not the best) over the last decade...

Fantasy Football Focus: Houston Texans

Houston seems to have adopted the idea that this year is "playoffs or bust." That won't be a goal easily attained. The Texans will have to beat the Colts and Jaguars in their division, and to ...

Fantasy Football Focus: Green Bay Packers

He is retired. He isn't retired. He is being traded. He isn't being traded. And so the soap opera continues. You-know-who is back in Green Bay for now, and it should be obvious that he has made ...

Fantasy Football Focus: Detroit Lions

Mike Martz is gone and new offensive coordinator Jim Colletto has ensured anyone that will listen that Detroit's offense will have far more balanced play calling and they will actually run the ball this year...

Fantasy Football Focus: Denver Broncos

Denver's infamous running game has diminished, their defense is a shell of it's former self, and their top receiver could be suspended. Hardly the news you were looking for if you are a Bronco's fan...

Fantasy Football Focus: Dallas Cowboys

"America's team" only lost three games in the regular season last year, and they have only gotten better. Their quarterback is continuing to prove that he wasn't just a flash in the pan, their ...

Fantasy Football Focus: Cleveland Browns

Cleveland came from the depths of the standings and became a playoff contender in just one short year, but how will it translate this season? Their offense has gone mostly unchanged and the ...

Fantasy Football Focus: Cincinnati Bengals

Winning only seven games isn't something that should be expected from a team with as much talent as the Bengals. The problem is that all of their talent is on the offensive side of the ball...

Fantasy Football Focus: Chicago Bears

It is no secret that the NFC North is a weak division. That makes it mean even more when I say that the Chicago Bears will most likely come in last in their division...

Fantasy Football Focus: Carolina Panthers

Quarterback injuries derailed Carolina's offense last season and caused them to start four different quarterbacks. They even pulled Vinny Testaverde out of retirement...

Fantasy Football Focus: Buffalo Bills

Fantasy Football Focus: Baltimore Ravens

Things are changing offensively in Baltimore. New offensive coordinator Cam Cameron will be making sure of that. He will have his hands full this season considering their quarterback situation and difficult schedule...
