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...

We're back, and so is Osi Umenyiora, who told the AP on Sunday night that he would return to New York Giants practice Monday and play under the terms of the contract he hates. This was already in the works at the end of last week, as Umenyiora seemed...

Well, it was fun to watch some football, wasn't it? At least for the first halves of the games, when there were players in there you could imagine playing on Sundays this fall. Good for the NFL for solving that pesky labor dispute and getting the pre...

And a good morning to you all. Lovely one here in northern New Jersey as I head back to Giants camp for another day of interviews there. When I arrive, I expect to find the team ... looking pretty much the same as it did Wednesday. Yeah, Steve Smi...

Morning. We are 29 days from the start of the NFL regular season and one day from the start of preseason games. Excited? Can't wait? Need something to get you through until the action starts? Well, here are some links. Dallas Cowboys Felix Jone...

Tuesday afternoon, as we do every Tuesday afternoon, we got our chat on. If you missed it, I offer the following highlights out of pity: Casey from New York asked the question I get 15 times every chat: "Is it safe to say this is a make or break" ...

Back, refreshed and headed over to Lehigh to see if I can scrounge up a storyline or two at Eagles camp. But not before I stop for a moment to enjoy some fresh, hot links. Dallas Cowboys DeMarcus Ware and Miles Austin have restructured their co...

Back up and at 'em we are with the links. Always, with the links. Dallas Cowboys Rick Gosselin paints a grim picture of a Cowboys organization that is hamstrung by salary-cap concerns and will be again next year. He thinks they're in the middle...

ASHBURN, Va. -- We do this thing we call the NFC East live chat. We do it on Tuesdays at noon ET and it's generally about the most awesome hour of the whole week anywhere on the Internet. We did it today, and you can still see how truly awesome it wa...

I hate to say this without throwing a pinch of salt over my shoulder, but things seem to be settling down a bit on the free-agent front. The Giants got Ahmad Bradshaw locked up, which was the big move in the division Monday, but there isn't nearly as...

So today is the day NFL free agents can actually sign contracts with teams. Yeah, that's right. All that noise and insanity of the past three days? Just the preliminary work. The agreeing to terms. The laying of the foundations for deals not yet cons...

You know the scene near the end of "Hoosiers," when Gene Hackman looks each kid in the face while they have their hands together in that pregame huddle in the locker room and he finally says -- kind of whispers -- "I love you guys?" Yeah, well, when ...

Took the chat on location today but it still went off brilliantly, as it always does. If you missed it ... well, I'm not even sure why I'm still trying to help you. But here are some of the highlights anyway. Willow from Southside is, like a lot o...

Morning, all. I've got a whole new jacket/tie combo for you to critique this morning after I rock it once again on your TV screens. First Take, 10 am to noon ET. Me and Skip, for all the marbles. Meantime, I have some goodies lined up to keep you bus...

Yeah, shameless self-promotion time. I'll be on "First Take" on ESPN2 each of the next two mornings, debating Skip Bayless on First and Ten. Show airs from 10 am to noon ET on Monday and Tuesday, and I have a stellar suit-and-tie combo picked out for...

As we do every Tuesday, we had our chat. As it is every Tuesday, it was life-altering brilliant. If you missed it ... I don't even know why I bother trying to help you anymore. Guess that's just the kind of guy I am. Here are some of the highlights: ...
