Walter Payton : 1975 Draft Day Picks By : Bob Johnson Walter Payton was born on July 25, 1954 and passed away on November 1, 1999. But even though Payton is no longer living, one thing is for sure. Football fans from all over the world will always remember him as one of the greatest running backs of all time. Not only did he have all of the right moves on the field, but off the field Payton was also a joy to be around. It was this reputation that captivated fans and other players for many years. Payton attended Columbia High ... Joe Montana : 1979 Draft Day Picks By : Bob Johnson Joe Montana was born on June 11, 1956 in New Eagle, Pennsylvania. It was evident early on that Montana was going to be a great football player thanks to his athletic prowess as well as his above average intelligence. And standing at 6 foot 2 inches and weighing 200 pounds, Montana also had the perfect body for a top of the line quarterback. Montana played his high school football at Ringgold High School in the Pittsburgh Steel Valley. In high school Montana was a standout ... Brady Quinn : 2007 Draft Day Picks By : Bob Johnson Brady Quinn was born on October 27, 1984 in Dublin, Ohio. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing in at 227 pounds Quinn is the perfect size for an NFL quarterback. And not only has he garnered a lot of attention on the field for his performance, but people have taken notice of his good looks off the field as well. Quinn did not have a stellar high school football career at Dublin Coffman High School, but with that being said he did enough to set himself apart from the re... Adrian Peterson : 2007 Draft Day Picks By : Bob Johnson Born on March 21, 1985 Adrian Peterson has three great years of college football under his belt. Since his freshman year at the University of Oklahoma Adrian Peterson has been impressing people both on and off the field. It was apparent early on in life that Peterson was going to be a good football player. His mother was a track star in college, and his father signed to play basketball with the University of Oklahoma. These bloodlines gave Peterson everything he needed in ord... Why NFL Players Switch Teams By : Stacey Day What would make an NFL player switch to another team after he’s played with the same one for years? There could be many reasons for this. First of all, one reason could be for money. Another team may like how well a player performs and want him for their own team. They would then find out how much the player is worth and is currently being paid, and then offer him a substantial amount more to come to their team. No matter how loyal a player is to his team, money is usually al... Professional Football By : Jennifer Brown In Europe, "football" is the term used for the game we call soccer. Oddly enough, North American football was actually devised from the game of soccer. Professional football is conducted under the rules of the National Football League (NFL). The game as we know it, is very different from those early days. The first soccer game ever played in America was between Princeton and Rutgers colleges. This evolved into football and in 1876, Walter Camp, known as the "Father of Ame... McKinnie stays with the Vikings By : Marshall Smith Vikings, Football The Raiders Open up with the Right Foot By : Ally White At the beginning all Art Shell was asking to see as a coach was some results and some proof that all the work that they had been doing had done some good to the team. NFL preseason began with the Hall of Fame game. A strong placekicking by Sebastian Janikowski marked a 16-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. Offseason Discipline - NFL Players Diversifying Their Training By : Jay Nault NFL players are individuals by nature, and each position and scheme demands different physical and mental capabilities in order to maximize success. As such, offseason training that used to be a matter of running a few miles per day to stay in shape has become its own cottage industry. We’ll take a look at some different things players do to stay in shape and to get bigger, faster and stronger during the offseason. Cardiovascular Training Perhaps the oldest form of trai... Five Teams That Could Shock The World By : Jay Nault We’ve seen it in recent years in the NFL. With the advent of free agency and the salary cap, parity is all the rage in today’s NFL. Over the past seven seasons, several surprise teams have come from seemingly nowhere to run through the playoffs and walk off with the Lombardi Trophy, leading stunned football fans everywhere to wonder if what they’d just seen was real. The Rams, Ravens and even the Patriots have all left the league in their wakes recently, which means that ever... New NFL Coaches Face Unique Challenges By : Jay Nault This offseason saw nearly one third of the teams in the NFL bring new coaches aboard, and each situation presents questions that will ultimately lead to the success or failure of the new regimes. History suggests that some will succeed and others fail. We’re betting that the new coaches are spending many of their working hours pondering some of the same issues detailed below. Buffalo Bills Dick Jauron walks into a program that has seemingly been rebuilding for years. Tw... NFL Enters The “Nervous” Season By : Jay Nault As the headlines from the draft and minicamps fade from the headlines, coaches, scouting staffs and players all tend to head in separate directions this time of year for some final R&R before the last minicamps and final preparations for training camps begin in a few weeks. The NFL has become a year-round job in the past 20-25 years, and many team employees regularly put in 80-hour weeks or more throughout the year. This time is much needed by many to recharge before the g... "OTA’s" - What They Mean And What They Can Mean By : Jay Nault In recent years in the NFL, the term "OTA" (Organized Team Activity) has come to the forefront this time of year. There are a few reasons for that. One is that the calendar reads May and June, and this is the time of year when activity is at its lowest. The draft is over, free agency, for all intents and purposes, is finished and coaches and staff members are going to cycle into their much-needed vacations. Another, and perhaps more important reason, is that these OTA’s ha... NFC East: Close Games and a Lot to Expect By : Ally White When you analyze what could come up this NFL season the NFC East could easily be the most competitive division in the NFL in 2006, because there is hardly anything to separate all four teams. The most common factor is that all four teams have veteran head coaches who know how to and will do their best to win. Fearless (Perhaps Foolish) Playoff Predictions For 2006 - Who Wins It All? By : Jay Nault Recently, the picks for who will make the playoffs in 2006 were laid out in the open. Since we’ve opened ourselves up to look foolish enough trying to pick playoff teams in the spring, we figured we’d pass the dead time on the league calendar taking things a step further. Below you’ll find our picks for who will advance through the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. If you’re just a casual football fan, this will save you the time of watching or attending any games. If you’r... Certain Players Facing “Make Or Break” Season In 2006 By : Jay Nault The career of an NFL player can be a long and twisting road. There are no formulas for success and no tangible formulas for failure. However, every season, certain players have to know that if they don’t perform that year, their future earning potential could be seriously hampered to the point where they are either out of the league altogether or they must begin to view themselves as “journeymen” who will never sign that elusive enormous free agent contract that sets them up ... Higher Salary Cap Could Bring Long Term Changes in the NFL By : Ally White This season the collective bargaining agreement decided to give the NFL salary cap managers a 20% increase in the spending limit. And since the extension kicked in it set the salary cap at a record $102 million, this made the teams to run out in pursue long term deals with core players Terrell Owens : Dallas Cowboys Wide Receiver By : Bob Johnson A native of Alexander City, Alabama, Terrell Eldorado Owens was born on December 7, 1973 and is often referred to as ‘T.O.’ He is currently the wide receiver for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys after being chosen in March 2006 to be a part of the team’s upcoming season. During the majority of the 2005 season, Terrell Owens was an inactive player of the Philadelphia Eagles. The activity, or lack thereof, was due to a contract dispute and conflicts with fellow teammates, including ... Larry Johnson : Kansas City Chiefs Running Back By : Bob Johnson A native of La Plata, Maryland, Larry Alphonso Johnson Jr. was born on November 19, 1979. Currently playing in the position of running back for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, Johnson is the son of a defensive line coach at Penn State University. He was selected during the 2003 NFL Draft and is simply known as ‘LJ’ by teammates and fans. As is the case with many of today’s NFL players, Larry Johnson began showing an interest in football at an early age. With his participatio... Is Al Michaels Still The Best NFL Play-By-Play Announcer? By : Adam McFarland When ABC “traded” Al Michaels to NBC this off-season to be their number one play-by-play announcer for their new Sunday night NFL football package, it became clear that he is still perceived to be the best play-by-play announcer in the business. However, is that perception still a reality? Michaels began his career back in 1986 on ABC’s Monday Night Football, where he remained until switching to NBC for the 2006 season. While at ABC, Michaels was part of several broadcast...
