Wes Welker, WR of the New England Patriots, said that he was disappointed that they could not resign Asante Samuel. He said that when signing with the Eagles he chose money over championships. Samuel has two championships already as Welker has zero. So what is Welker saying about the Eagles?

Asante Samuel, Sheldon Brown, Brian Dawkins, and Lito Sheppard. Pretty star-studded group wouldn't you agree? With the new addition of Samuel, the All-Pro cornerback, and Hall of Fame bound Brian Dawkins this group is stacked. The potential for this secondary is unlike any Eagles secondary that   more...

2007 was supposed to be the year for the San Diego Chargers... supposed to be. Following a 1-3 start, many questioned the team, especially that first overall pick for many fantasy football owners, LaDanian Tomlinson. It's hard to believe, but Tomlinson had a whopping 130 rushing yards entering   more...

I loved Prisco's top 50, but there were definite faults in it. Even though he did a great job tackling the Brady v. Manning topic, some of his picks were, how do you say, questionable. Here is my attempt atÂnaming the top 50 players in the NFL. With 1696 players on the active roster, cutting it   more...

Pete Prisco of CBS Sportsline really likes the Vikings. He placed four members of the Purple in his rankings of the Top 50 players in the NFL. Actually, the four all placed in the top 20. You can probably guess the names. Here's the complete top 20 with the Vikes in bold:Tom BradyPeyton   more...

Asante Samuel. Where to start? Well his 16 interceptions in the last two seasons leads the NFL. Two years ago he recorded 10 interceptions to lead the NFL. Not to mention he intercepted A.J. Feeley twice (one for a touchdown) in the regular season last year which was a fight to the finish between   more...

Defensive end is one of the most important positions on your defense. Look at the New York Giants and how they won the Superbowl. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure. Something Tom Brady is not used to seeing much of. So with that being said, here are the teams who benefit most from having a   more...

Jackson is rediculously fast and was a big time playmaker at University of Cal. I would be surprised if he did not play on special teams as the kick returner and punt returner. But there is still a question that lingers in my head. Will he be placed in the slot at wide receiver from day one? I   more...

Yesterday, it was reported that Priest Holmes would be reporting to camp this year with the Chiefs. It's good to see Priest getting back into camp, because at one point, he was the most dominant running back in the game. I live in San Diego and the morning station was making a big deal about   more...

I've had a problem with Shawne Merriman since hearing him giddily brag about injuring Priest Holmes. I was obviously delighted when 5-7 Maurice Jones-Drew truck sticked him yesterday.

As I mentioned in another article about the NFL's Top 25 Hardest Hitters in NFL History, the hard hitters that made wide receivers afraid of crossing the middle are almost gone, but these are the current players continuing the tradition of rough and tough football.
