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" ...

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 ...

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-...

All right, look. I don't think Brett Favre is going to come back and be Michael Vick's backup quarterback with the Eagles in 2011. I don't think the idea of Favre as a backup for anyone makes any sense at all. But Favre and sense have never found th...

Aaaand, we're back. By the midday, the NFL's new labor deal should be approved and we'll have a schedule of events for what should turn out to be a wild week. There are reports very early Monday morning that suggest free agency could open as early...

Got a clip here of a video interview Michael Vick did recently with ESPN. It's a quick one, part of a larger piece to come, but for you Eagles fans out there who want to hear from your quarterback, I figured it'd work as a nice little treat on a hot ...

We live and die with our incremental updates because they're all we have, and I know some people wrote to express worry over the fact that the players didn't approve the new labor deal Wednesday. Breath deeply, people. We know where this is going and...

Obviously, as we discussed earlier, the post from Tuesday on my pick for the dominant team in the NFC East from 2014-16 drew a fair bit of interest. Our bloggers from the other seven divisions each weighed in as well, as this post was all part of the...

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 ...

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...

Some time this season, I hope, I will encounter the guys from Pro Football Focus, and when I do I plan to shake their hands and thank them for helping provide content to link to during these extremely slow lockout days. One of their recent efforts wa...

This is how we know the lockout has gone on too long: The Brett Favre speculation is bubbling up again. Yeah. In a live chat on NFL.com, Gil Brandt answered a question about Favre and said, "I do think Favre would be interested in talking to a tea...

Tear yourself away, if you would, for a moment, from the smell of burning animal flesh on your backyard grill and check out the NFC East goodness that has made its way into my mailbag this week. I promise that you won't be disappointed. Or that if yo...

The optimism over the possibility of the NFL lockout ending soon has spread to the fantasy football community, and our excellent fantasy writers rolled out a whole bunch of new content this week that's worth looking at if fantasy football is your kin...
