Wow. With all this traveling and reporting and stuff that's been going on since the lockout ended, I realized this morning that it had been way too long since I'd check the mailbag. So here you go. John from Silver Spring asks which receiver I'd r...

Remember, way back, like, a week or so ago, when it was tough to find two links a day for each team? Yeah, me neither. Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones thinks preseason games will be more interesting this year because the lockout wiped out the off...

Least I can do is read some mail. My letter carrier worked so hard to lug all of those envelopes around in this heat. Matthew from Summit, N.J., (woo-hoo!) read John Clayton's piece on potential salary cap casualties, noticed the Giants' Shawn And...

When we last left our heroes, things were looking a little better on the NFL labor front, with the sides negotiating until all hours late last week and promising to resume talking after the holiday weekend. Those who were hoping to spend their Fourth...

See, how it works is, you e-mail the questions, I sort through them, delete all the profane and insulting ones and answer the ones I think are the most interesting. A democracy? No. Just a lil' ol' weekend mailbag. tmcsfinest from Toronto thrilled...

Friday means time to argue here on the NFC East blog, and I've got a good one for ya today. We're going to talk running backs, but we're going to get real specific about it. This isn't going to be one of those all-encompassing polls that involve each...

It was the best of chats, it was the worst of chats. Actually, it was probably neither. But we did chat Tuesday, and if for some unforgivable reason you missed it, here are some of the highlights: einsteinhurricane from D.C. wanted me to join him ...

The Plaxico stuff has me thinking about sequels. Still haven't seen "The Hangover 2" yet because I'm afraid it'll be awful and I just loved the first one so much. We did see "Kung Fu Panda 2" last week with the kids and got a kick out of it. And the...

Morning, my friends. If you're mad at me today, you have a rare opportunity to yell directly at my face. The only catch is, while you'll be able to hear me, I won't be able to hear you, so you'll still have to use the mailbag. I am in Bristol toda...

The incomparable Mel Kiper has come up with a 2005 first-round redraft based on how players from that class have fared over the past six seasons. This is for ESPN Insiders only, but I'm going to tell you how players from the NFC East came out in th...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 17: Are the New York Giants playing for Tom Coughlin's job Sunday against the Washington Redskins? If the Giants somehow lose this game at FedEx, there will be immense pressure on co-owners John Mara and Stev...

Just to be clear, I'm not sure the New York Giants had a chance to beat the Green Bay Packers on Sunday even if they'd eliminated those six turnovers. But by constantly giving the ball away -- through the air and on the ground -- the Giants found the...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 15 The Giants feel really good about their game plan for Michael Vick. A lot of teams fear Vick, but the Giants seem to relish the opportunity to play against him. Vick didn't account for a passing touchdown t...

FALLING 1. Hunter Smith, former Washington Redskins punter/holder: This probably qualifies as dog-piling, but we should at least acknowledge Smith's time with the Skins. If the guy was leading the league in net average, maybe you stick with him af...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 14. The Philadelphia Eagles' defense will have to slow down Jason Witten. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Jon Kitna loves throwing the ball to Witten. Over the past three games, Witten has been targeted 20 times and...

FALLING 1. Mike Shanahan, Washington Redskins head coach: The Redskins were so dreadful against the New York Giants on Sunday, it's hard to single out a player. So let's just go with the head coach this week. Shanahan made the decision to suspend...
