With under three months to go until the San Diego Chargers take on the New Orleans Saints at Wembley Stadium, in the second regular season NFL game to take place in Europe, I felt now is a good time to look at the prospects of the Saints and the Chargers first round 2008 rookie picks.
Both teams [...]

My childhood hero Art Monk is finally where he deserves to be – Canton
FLASHBACK – Feb 2 2008 – After the agony of seeing Art Monk, the former Washington Redskins (OK and Jets and Eagles) wide receiver fail to secure a place in the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame seven consecutive times, it was with slightly frosty baited breath that I sat watching a live broadcast on [...]

I love Devin Hester (PS – just don’t tell my wife)
I have a confession to make to you all – I love Devin Hester.
There I said it, I feel cleansed. I’m not a Chicago Bears fan, and I dont even support the Miami Hurricanes (his college team) I just love watching Hester give NFL special teams coordinators the heebie -jeebies as they decide to squib [...]

Caleb Campbell’s call to service means defending real bombs
I was very interested to read the the Detroit Lions 7th round rookie pick in the 2008 NFL draft, Army safety Mr Caleb Campbell will now not realise his NFL dream anytime soon as he has been called back into service for his country.
No longer will he defend his team from pigskin bombs from the likes of [...]

Deja vu – Jeremy Shockey on his way BACK to London in October
Some people think tight-end Jeremy Shockey was traded to the New Orleans Saints from the New York Giants earlier this week because he wants to start afresh in the Superdome.
Some say he could not cope with the fact Kevin Boss (spot him in the picture above Shockey) was one of the New York Giants stars [...]

Jason Taylor tango’s himself to the Redskins – but what the hell happens to the 20ft shirt ?
It was a bizarre enough experience being faced with a 40ft tall Jason Taylor (see the real people standing under umbrellas) when I went to Wembley last year for the first ever NFL regular season game to be played in England.
To find out that Jason Taylor will now be suiting up in the burgundy and [...]

Good riddance to the Redskins smurf wide receivers (maybe)
Ok – yes the Washington Redskins did reach the playoffs in 2008 . And yes their two smurf like wide receivers Antwan Randle-El and Santana Moss did indeed each score fourth quarter touchdowns in the Wild Card game against the Seahawks.
It was all not enough though as the Skins collapsed after those two scores and in the last [...]

Will NFL reject Dwain Chambers go to the Olympics?
If you live in the USA I’m pretty confident that Dwain Chambers, the disgraced English sprinter will not have even registered on your sporting shame radar. However if you live in England or any part of Great Britain for that matter then today’s news will be dominated by the High Court decision to say if [...]

FANTASY DIARY entry #2 – Goodbye Plaxico hello Mr Williams
After just a few days of posting my desperate need for a quality defensive tackle, the bait of Plaxico Burress was just too tempting for my esteemed BBFL league owner Mark Christy and his black hole residing Oakland Raiders.
New York Giant Superbowl winning wideout Plaxico Burress and 2007 Indianapolis Colts rookie DT Ed Johnson are [...]
