Thursday Night Pick: Panthers at Steelers (Week 16)
Published December 23, 2010 | 
Worst game of the week? No. Worst game of the season.
Luckily it’s a Thursday night game on NFL Network, on the eve of Christmas Eve, so no one is watching anyways.
The Panthers have been running the ball well of late and they just beat the worst team in football (Cardinals) at home last week, but the Steelers jsut don’t give upa ny rushing yards, it’s their thing. The only way to beat or even compete with the Steelers is to throw the ball well. And Jimmy Clausen isn’t going to win any games in the air.
This one shouldn’t be close. The line is Steelers by -14. Projections say Steelers by 20. Pick is Steelers -14.

Terrell Owens Possible Destinations
Published July 20, 2010 | A lot has been made about where Terrell Owens might end up and whether he’s worth it for any team to pick up after a dismal 2009 campaign in Buffalo. Well, first of all, that dismal campaign wasn’t all that bad.
T.O. was being thrown to by 2 QB’s that probably wouldn’t make back-up for any other team in the league (except the Lions, of course). Ryan Fitzpatrick and Trent Edwards split the snaps about 50/50 due to injury and performance. Both had a 70ish QB rating and both had more INT than TD.
T.O. had pretty good stats considering those two guys being the signal callers. He pulled in 55 catches for 829 yards with 5 TD. All of those are down relative to T.O. expectations and career averages, but he did have better numbers than the fast and very talented Lee Evans. T.O. Also pulled down a 9 catch 197 yard game with a 98 yard TD catch.
I think NFL teams know his value much better than the typically wrong media, and they also understand T.O.’s attitude weaknesses better than most NFL fans. But eventually Terrell will land on a team, and these are the ones that he can help the most. (Keep in mind T.O. wants a 4 million contract and to be in playoff contention)

Delhomme Cries His Way Into Absurd Contract
Published March 15, 2010 | 
If I’m a rookie coming into the NFL, I am hiring Jake Delhomme’s agent, Rick Smith. Although I know very little about Rick Smith, he has gotten Delhomme one of the most absurd contracts I’ve ever seen.
Jake didn’t get a 10 year $275 million dollar contract like A-Rod or anything. But what he did get was a 2 year deal with the first year paying Delhomme $7 million dollars. This will be a great year for Jake, since the panthers are paying him another $12.7 million for that blunder of a contract extension they gave Delhomme.
What was Mike Holmgren thinking? First of all, Brady Quinn was about as good (terrible) as Delhomme was last year, who he traded. But Quinn Continue reading
