Up and at 'em, folks. Do you realize that, one week ago at this very moment, the lockout was still officially on? Yeah, been something of a crazy week. Good thing you've been getting your links. Dallas Cowboys If Terence Newman was upset about ...

Amazing what happens where there's an avalanche of real news to cover. Stuff we leaned on, counted on, got used to during the long, dull lockout goes by the wayside. We didn't even do Fired-Up Friday this week, and it's been forever since I've fired ...

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...

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...

Tuesday was a crazy day and Wednesday should be, too. Gonna be like this for a while, I believe. Fun ride with many twists and turns still ahead. Plenty more today, no doubt including another couple of hits on "First Take" to talk free agency league-...

Good morning, all. Yes, in spite of the hang-wringing and incredulous impatience of last night, I really believe today is the day. I think the players didn't like the way the NFL handled things last night, don't want to be forced into re-establishing...

In Fridays's edition of the NFC East video mailbag, I strongly disagree with a reader's suggestion that the Philadelphia Eagles would be better off signing Randy Moss than Plaxico Burress....

Excellent morning to you all. Busy Tuesday planned, what with the regular weekly chat scheduled and some work still to do for later in the week on the "Dream Team of Tomorrow," so let's get right on with the links: Dallas Cowboys The St. Louis ...

Morning, all. Another week dawns and still no free agency to break down. We'll get there. Of this I am sure. In the meantime, we always have our links. Dallas Cowboys Kurt Warner, who took two different teams to the Super Bowl and won one, was ...

Kerry Collins announced his retirement Thursday after 16 NFL seasons, and that matters to the NFC East blog because of the somewhat significant place he occupies in the history of the New York Giants. No, as Mike Garafolo points out, he's not Phil...

So this week's 'Hot Button' debate topic is "Which would you rather sign -- Tiki Barber or Plaxico Burress?" To the surprise of no one who reads this blog with any regularity, I was pleased to take the Burress side of the debate. And frankly, we'v...

I link, therefore I am. Dallas Cowboys "Leaving himself out of it," DeMarcus Ware says Darrelle Revis is the best defensive player in the NFL. Guy knows talent, and yes of course he himself belongs in the discussion. I'm still taking a healthy ...

I send you into your weekend with a link to John Clayton's latest, in which he examines the ways in which the proposed "salary floor" in the next collective bargaining agreement would affect certain teams. In case you missed it, one of the concession...

It's the last day of school in our town, and I have a first-grader (soon to be second-grader, as he would point out) absolutely bouncing off the walls in here. It's funny to recall what an awesome day this was when you were a kid, even as you cope wi...

Woke to the sound of angry storm clouds here in the East. A portent of Fired-up Friday, you say? Well, it just might be. Today's going to be a good one. And if you're lucky, we might even see a return of the video mailbag. First, however, we link:...

The big news Tuesday seemed to be hope on the NFL labor front, which is what everybody wants, of course. But sometimes we can let the seeming approach of the thing we want get us more excited than we should actually be. Reports that a solution to the...
