The NFL draft just became more of a spectacle than it already is. Now football fans will have the opportunity to stare at Mel Kiper’s hair for three straight days. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Thursday that the NFL draft will be expanding to three days instead of the traditional 2 day event [...]

As you may have heard last week Chad Ocho Cinco plans on “tweeting” from the sidelines during games. While I originally sided with the league and Chad’s coaches on this one in thinking it was a bad idea for my star receiver to be worried about sending updates to Twitter instead of catching the [...]

With Madden 2010 set to hit store shelves on August 14th football fans everywhere are awaiting the newest release of an American institution.

However someone who is not eagerly awaiting this release is current Seattle Seahawks and former Cincinnati Bengals wideout T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The Detroit News reports that the former Pro Bowl receiver is upset [...]
