As summer training camps approach, we are now seeing an increase in early predictions for the 2013 NFL season. This development began to peak my curiosity into what Vegas might have in mind on the subject. As a disclaimer, betting odds are not necessarily set to predict the likeliest outcome of an event. Moreso, [...]

What Does The Pro (read: ‘popularity’) Bowl Mean Anymore? Nothing

For those who did not watch the Pro Bowl this year, the AFC beat the NFC – 59 to 41. Whatever. Some played like it was a regular season game, though most did tone it down quite a bit. Boring. It was fun to see all the best players of 2011 get together. After all, its all about the stars of the game, right? I guess.

Do I sound less than thrilled? A little cynical maybe? Well, as a Cowboys fan, I think I have a right to be. To begin with, only two Cowboys players went to Hawaii, least since 2002. I thought we were loaded with talent? Only Cowboys fans still think that, but regardless, to only pick 2 – why these two – . I also find it ironic that those two, DeMarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff, were not only not as dominant in 2011 as in past years, but also came from the weakest of the three parts of the Dallas Cowboys in 2011, the Defense. If the Pro Bowl were to represent the best players on each team from 2011, then for Dallas they would come from the Offense. (more…)

Prepare To Represent The NFC [B]East

Over the next few weeks, all of the NFL sites across the Fansided Network will be coming together and putting together an all-star squad for each division. This means we will have to put our hatred for the division rivals aside and come together to represent the best division in the NFL.

We will be working with the Redskins, the Giants, and Eagles blogs to put together our NFC East team. If our lead bloggers cannot come to an agreement, a vote will be held to determine the player who earns the debated roster spot. Tie-breaker votes will be held over at the ‘Skins site, Riggo’s Rag, and I will make sure to point you all in the right direction when the time comes to vote.

After each division is represented with an all-star team, there will be a huge vote on Fansided.com until only one team stands in the NFC and AFC. At that time one final vote will be held to see which division is the best in the NFL. We all know this is the NFC East, so prepare to VOTE!

This is a time to appreciate and respect the talent throughout the division. So get ready for for the coming competition and prepare to represent the NFC [B]East!
