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...

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...

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-...

In April of 2010, Sam Shields was an undrafted free agent. In February of 2011, he was helping the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl. It can happen. Players who were overlooked in the NFL draft in April can become significant contributors in spite...

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...

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...

My wife and I were living together when it came time to propose, so I was able to hand her the ring instead of having to mail it to her. As we discussed Wednesday, not everyone is so fortunate. We do all, however, have the links. They're going to ...

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...

Wow. Good morning everybody. Sorry if I'm a little out of it today. I was waiting up all night in the comments from Monday's Snee post for teamdirtstar to get back to me on that Eagles draft thing. Still waiting, but at least now, while I wait, I can...

I love summer weekends. I love watching U.S. Open golf. I love being worshiped and adored by my children on Father's Day. I love answering mailbag questions. Yeah, pretty much in heaven, right here. On the topic of up-and-coming assistant coach...

Morning. Quick little bit of background here. All this stuff we do and debate here that involves rankings and voting? Not my first rodeo. In 17 years as a professional sportswriter, you do a lot of it. I covered baseball long enough that I have a Hal...

Longtime Scouts Inc. writer Gary Horton has come up with a list of 48 players who he's calling the "X factors" in the playoffs. He picked four players from every roster who have a chance to make a significant impact in the playoffs. Let's see who ...

Three things to know about next Sunday's Packers-Eagles wild-card game: 1. Can the Philadelphia Eagles recover from two consecutive losses to end the season? I don't think a season-ending loss to the Cowboys on Sunday will have a major impact beca...
