His first name ends with a pair of Ts. His last name has five letters.

Then, using the average 50% turnover from year to year that seems to have become standard for the NFL postseason, we eliminated the six teams, three per conference, that made the tournament last year. After that, we took a poll of...

In recent years, changes to the benefits packages have prompted some NFL assistant coaches to choose to take jobs at the college level. But few high-level NFL executives would ever walk away for an NCAA assignment. Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy could be the rare exception to the rule. Tom FitzGerald of the San…

Pride of Detroit (Sean Yuille) —
Last month, after the 2012 NFL schedule was announced, point spreads were released for the games in Week 1. Now, thanks to the folks at Cantor Gaming , we have point spreads for the first 16 weeks of the 2012 season. Is this a bit premature? There's no doubt considering a lot will change by the time these games are actually played. Even so, it's interesting to see how the Detroit Lions ...

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...

We looked at an example of how the Seahawks passed out of this group and also at their usage of outside/inside zone runs. This grouping was used quite a bit by the Seahawks in 2011, particularly more so toward the latter part...
SBN: Turf Show Times (3k) —
Ah, another day where college football pushes me toward some random NFL tangent. So today, the SEC and Big XII agreed to a southern-fried Rose Bowl where their respective conference champions would meet for all the, uh, bluebonnets? Sure, it's largely a move to be able to negotiate with the Big Ten whose reluctance to advance the discussions on a potential college football playoff relies...
Yahoo.com: Shutdown Corner (Mike Tanier) —
Any website can post "offseason grades" for NFL teams, mixing the draft and free agency into transaction soup, then straining it through the mind of some sportswriter who doesn't know who half the players are. Only the Shutdown Corner has the resources to get actual players, coaches, and executives from each team to evaluate their own offseasons! That's right: over the next few weeks, you will...
NBCSports.com: ProFootballTalk (Michael David Smith) —
No one will ever again wear No. 4 in a Green Bay Packers uniform, so for all intents and purposes Brett Favre’s number has been retired.
