The facts: The St. Louis Rams fell to 2-9 with a 23-20 home defeat to the Arizona Cardinals. The upside: Even the worst defeats tend to feature a bright spot or two. Nick Miller's 88-yard punt return for a touchdown gave the Rams a 7-0 lead. T...

Chicago Bears kick returner/receiver Devin Hester is 29. So it's reasonable to assume the actual debate on his candidacy for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is at least 10 years -- and probably a few more touchdown returns -- away. Already, however, He...

A pair of players elected in their first year of eligibility, Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk, were included among the seven members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2011 announced Saturday night. Sanders and Faulk are the 64th and 65th m...

Deion Branch suspected the Seattle Seahawks might release him last season. The team's general manager at the time, Tim Ruskell, repeatedly assured Branch that the organization had no such plans. Ruskell wasn't lying. The Seahawks held onto Branch,...

SEATTLE -- Leon Washington is back. So is the "12th Man" at Qwest Field. The Seattle Seahawks are back, too -- not all the way or even most of the way, but enough of the way to win home games and contend for the NFC West title in a flawed division...

Jim McIsaac/Getty Images Harrison Runs Passed Jim Brown Into the Record Books Cleveland RB Jerome Harrison had a record setting day against the Kansas City Chiefs. He ran wild to the tune of 286 yards. The total breaks Jim Brown's team record ...

The Rams' offseason roster overhaul has failed to produce immediate improvement in the standings. The natural question is whether the organization went too far in pushing out higher-priced veterans. I suspected they might have gone too far when...
