The Arizona Cardinals are in a tough situation with Anquan Boldin’s latest comments.
 As I read these comments, what comes to my mind, is that he is feeling that he has been lied to in receiving a new contract, and is upset with head coach Ken Whisenhunt, for being involved in his negotiations. As this continues, I also sense [...]

Matt Leinart has performed on the big stage year in and year out at USC.
Lineart is being asked to perform on a more consistent basis, and NOW, finds himself in the middle of open competition for the starting job at quarterback.
In my mind, Kurt Warner has forced this quarterback competition through his great practices at training camp [...]

NOBODY has ever doubted the heart and soul of Anquan Boldin on the football field.  He is by FAR, a young man that can inspire and motivate a team by his actions on the field.

Archie Manning was the best QB to never play in a Super Bowl, or for that fact, to never play in a playoff game.
But what he and his wife have done together, is given the NFL, Colts, and Giants fans, two sons that will be Championship quarterbacks for years to come.
 Eli Manning was the calm [...]

My first day EVER at a Super Bowl media center was an absolute blast.
I started off by picking up my credential prior to going into the media center at the Phoenix Convention Center. As I’m waiting around I run into ESPN’s John Clayton, and Sal Palantonio, both at the same time. I introduced [...]

 Yes, Eli Manning has arrived. 
But what has helped him arrive in these last 3 playoff games, as well as the NFC Championship game against Green Bay, is the balanced offensive attack that offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride has instilled into this offensive unit, especially the offensive line.

What I’m looking for, is that basic ingredient or intangible, that [...]
