The Gators may have lost in the SEC Championship game and head coach Urban Meyer may be taking a leave of absence, but all that did not slow Florida on national letter-of-intent signing day.

Top ranked defensive end Ronald Powell of Moreno Valley, Calif, signed his letter of intent on Wednesday and will be heading to Gainesville. Powell was the the nation's No. one rated recruit in the ESPNU 150.

The Gators also have signed the top defensive tackle in the class, Dominique Easley of...

Saturday afternoon in the Senior Bowl, all eyes may have been in Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow when the game started, but by the time the North handed the South a 31-13 loss, everyone's attention had shifted to Cincinnati's Mardy Gilyard.

The former Bearcats' star turned in an awfully strong audition for a much more lucrative career on Sundays, racking up 103 yards receiving and catching a 32-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to...

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he won't need surgery this offseason.

This season, the New England signal caller played through finger and rib injuries, after missing all but the first quarter of the first game of the 2008 season with a left knee injury that required surgery.

Although he withdrew from the Pro Bowl this weekend in Miami, he is excited about getting right into offseason...

The last time the Colts and the Jets met in the regular season, Peyton Manning stood on the sideline and watched as the New York defense swarmed all over Indianapolis back-up quarterback Curtis Painter. Manning stood helpless as Indy's chance at a perfect season ended and the Jets started to build momentum.

With the winner heading to Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday, Manning will not be watching and Rex Ryan's defense won't have it so easy.

And so the chess match begins with strength against strength between New York's No. 1 defense and four-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning and the high-flying Colts...

Saturday night in Indy, the Colts and coach Jim Caldwell get set to take their first step in proving that their philosophy of resting players to close out the season was the right one.

The Colts have not played a meaningful game in nearly a month, but many fans, and critics, feel that shouldn't be the case. Now everyone will get the case to see if Indianapolis' controversial strategy pays off.

NFL odds makers like the Colts in this one with the spread in Vegas sitting at about a touchdown. The line is listed at...

Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is the only unanimous choice for The Associated Press 2009 NFL All-Pro team.

This season Johnson set the league mark for yards from scrimmage and became just the sixth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history. Johnson got all 50 votes from a nationwide panel of sportswriters.

"That'd be a good thing," said Johnson, who won the Offensive Player of the Year award Wednesday. "Because I feel like if you put a season out there, out of those dudes who got votes or the dudes who won, I wouldn't feel they had a better season than...

Saturday in the Superdome, the 11-6 defending NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals take on the 13-3 New Orleans Saints in the first NFC Divisional Playoffs showdown.

Last week in the win over the Packers, Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner was 29-of-33 for 379 yards and 5 touchdowns in their over-time thriller agianst Green Bay.

The Arizona offense looked like they were running on all cylinders when they scored 51 points against a Packers team's defense that was ranked 2nd in the league during the...

Sunday afternoon in Foxboro, Gillette Stadium will be rockin' when the New England Patriots get set to host the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Wild-Card round of the AFC Playoffs.

Patriots fans are fired up that they are back in the post-season after missing the playoffs in 2008, but they would be even more excited about their chances if they still had Wes Welker. In a meaningless game a week ago, Welker was lost for the season when he tore ACL and MCL ligaments in his left knee last week against Houston.

NFL odds makers are still calling the Pats...

According to league sources, former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis will be returning to the NFL. Weis has agreed to become the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs.

In Kansas City, Weis will be reunited with Chiefs' head coach Todd Haley. The two shared an office when both were young assistants with the New York Jets.

Weis also will be reunited with Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli. Weis and Pioli were together when Pioli served as the...

Not a very good day for the New England Patriots this Sunday in Houston. Although they had the AFC Eastern division locked up coming into their game against the Texans, the 34-27 loss to Houston puts them in danger of dropping to the conference's fourth seed.

Some might say, "So what, does that really make a difference?"

Maybe not, but the Patriots left their starters in for most of the game and the unthinkable happened. They may have lost wide receiver Wes Welker with a knee injury...
