Field Gulls (EequalsMc2) —
Thankfully, he's not competing for the QB spot this year. In my personal opinion, the word "competition" is seemingly overrated. It's a label that seemingly everybody, from coaches to fans and even the media misuse. Competition is utilized to bring out the best effort and passionate emotions from players and have the best man win the job right? How often does that happen in this league? In...

It's human nature in sports to focus on topics like "Which team will suck the most this season?" and "Which current athlete is the biggest jerk?", so let's take a second, reverse course and think about the players who have the best chance of being named Rookie of the Year on offense and defense this season. Newly-minted rookies Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III are sure to be favorites on...

SBN: Big Blue View (Mike Farley) —
Happy Friday fellow Giants fans! Sshhhhhhh. If you listen carefully, you can hear the wheels churning in Osi Umenyiora's head as he prepares his next PR stunt. I know one thing. LeSean McCoy could care less, especially after just signing a new 5-year contract extension with the Eagles . So McCoy has something that Osi does not. Of course, besides a big mouth, Osi has two other...

Stamped Blue (Brad Wells) —
Based on tweets from what appears to be his official Twitter account, new Colts center Samson Satele lost his grandfather recently . Condolences to him and his family if true.

This is interesting , if only because I seem to recall Bob McNair and/or the organization pushing hard to be the featured team on "Hard Knocks" a couple of years ago. The Texans were passed over then, so it would seem they'd jump at the opportunity to be featured now, especially after the success they had last season. What changed? Could Wade Phillips, who has presided over the spectacle...
