Some Clarification is in Order - 2012 Off-Season Stats: Challenges
Now that the season has ended many of you might be a bit down or bored, so it's our job as staffers to keep things rolling here. Now this might not be the sexiest topic, but don't worry, more is on the way. Last off-season I went over a lot of the major trends in the NFL as well as those...
NN NFL Tournament of Badness Opening Round: New Kickoff Rule, FOX's Dancing Robot
I'm actually a little relieved that my seeding is actually looking like it's going to hold up for once on the right side of the bracket. Al Davis' present-day drafting habits are justly beating Matt Millen at the time of writing this, so hopefully I don't look like an idiot when this post goes live...
49ers-Texans Week 7 Announcing Crew
The 49ers sent out their weekly game release and the Fox crew for this Sunday's 49ers-Texans matchup will be the #4 crew of Chris Myers and Brian Billick. While I'm not a big fan of Chris Myers, I do enjoy the musings of Brian Billick. This crew covered the 49ers-Seahawks battle in week 2 and...
NFL completes owners' meetings
Happy Memorial Day to everybody. The first OTAs of the offseaso wrapped up last week and there was certainly plenty of excitement, particularly with the injury to Walt Harris. However, I'd imagine things will quiet down until the next OTAs get going. The 49ers might sign some minor free agents,...
Blame the Raiders if this Friday's 49ers game is blacked out
EDITOR'S NOTE 11:20AM: The game is officially blacked out at 7pm. According to Maiocco: The 49ers' exhibition game Friday at the Raiders is not sold out, so the TV coverage will fall under NFL blackout rules. But, in checking my local listings this evening, it looks as if KICU-6 will carry the...
Black Monday Looming for Panther Brass
For NFL coaches the Monday after the season finale is usually "black" Monday, the day most franchise will "move in another direction" as they fire coaches for not delivering on playoff expectations. For the Panthers that should be December 31st, the last day of the year. Seems like a good day to...
Panthers Fox Will Remain Mum on QB Decision
The AP reports John Fox hasn’t had much to say to the media this week. I have to assume he is dreading the anticipated onslaught to come from playing the defending champs. Carr never walked through the locker room during the media's availability period. He said last week he thought he would be...
Is Fox's Job on the Line Now?
As the players gather to try and iron out their concerns about the Panthers level of play I can't but help but wonder why the coaching staff has been so quiet. The only answer I can think of is they don't want to run afoul of John Fox. Any comments might be seen as being critical of the coach.Of...
Is John Fox's Job Secure?
Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette thinks Carolina would be one of three teams interested in Bill Cowher at the end of this season. If you recall his reasons for retiring he said his wife was tired of Pittsburgh and wanted to live in Raleigh which happens to be commutable to Charlotte. Cowher...
