Fantasy Starters
Sunday in Philadelphia, the weekend's most anticipated game has to be the Donovan McNabb's return to Lincoln Financial Field to take on Micheal Vick and the Eagles.

Every one knows Vick signed with the Eagles last year only after McNabb lobbied for him and now McNabb is out, Kevin Kolb is a back-up and Mike Vick in the man in Philly.

For fantasy owners, Vick is on top of the world right now. He had a monster game last week and will face a Washington Redskins defense that...

Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers
In one of the oldest rivalries in pro football, the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers get set to face-off in primetime at Soldier Field. Monday night's showdown between unbeatens should prove to be a good one as both the Bears and the Packers come in at 2-0.

Monday's fantasy outlook appears to be pretty strong for owners with players playing on Monday Night Football.

For the home team, the Bears' running back Matt Forte has been a serious fantasy scorer in the teams' first two games. While Forte has not done much for Chicago's ground game, he has been a beast in the...

Super Bowl week in the NFL is always full of sub-plots and this year in Miami is no different.

Will Peyton Manning take home another Lombardi Trophy on the same field as he did a few short years ago?

Where does Archie's loyalties truly lie, with family or the organization for which he is an icon, or a little bit of both?

All those things may be great stories, however once the pre-game firework's smoke has cleared and the ball is...

Rex Ryan
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan was fined $50,000 by the team Tuesday for making an obscene gesture at a mixed martial arts event last weekend.

The team's decision came after a smiling Ryan was caught on a cell phone camera flipping his middle finger at a fan during the competition in South Florida on Saturday night. The image of Ryan quickly spread across the Internet and made its way onto the back pages of New York tabloids.

Ryan issued a statement and apologized the next day. He called...

The New York Jets and quarterback Mark Sanchez are considering surgery this offseason to stabilize the patella ligament in his left knee.

According to reports Sanchez does not need any procedures on his right knee, the knee that cause him to miss a game in the middle of the season, rather to repair damage suffered when he was in college on the other knee.

Sanchez dislocated the kneecap during the first week of fall practice before his junior season at Southern California. He has worn...

Every season in college football the debate about the current BCS system vs. some kind of playoff gets more and more heated. This past year was no different. Even President Barack Obama himself thinks their should be a playoff system in place to decide a national champion.

Like everything else in this country, it is not necessarily about what's right or wrong, it's about the dollars it generates.

Last month, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce intervened citing revenue discrepancies as a reason for legislation that would ban the promotion of a postseason NCAA Division...

Former South Florida head football coach Jim Leavitt wants his job with the Bulls back as he insists his dismissal for allegedly striking one of his players and then lying about the incident was unwarranted.

Leavitt was fired last week after an investigation by university officials found that he grabbed one his athletes by the throat, slapped the player in the face and then lied about what occurred at intermission of the Bulls game against the Louisville Cardinals on November 21st.

"The allegations were misreported," said Leavitt. "I want to coach this football team, this is the...
