If San Francisco does in fact break through and assert their dominance in a division that very well should be theirs for the taking, their defense is one no offensive coordinator will want to meet in December.
Even Charlie Weis thinks Eagles Coach Andy Reid has let himself go. Alright, I feel bad for ripping on Andy. I should probably send him a gift. What about a slimming, black Eagles pullover? Size: Tent.
During a twist-off of the salary cap, NFL GMs are wheeling and dealing like fantasy football geeks. I asked SD Linebacker Shawne Merriman if the musical chairs is getting to him.
