- Fantasy Football Rankings – The Top 10 WRs by Jesse Boskoff

- Football Recruiting Questionnaire – How to Make Sure Football Coaches Read Yours by Gary V Hawkins
When most high school football players begin making contact with college, one of the first things they do is to go online and fill out a football recruiting questionnaire.

While completing the football recruiting questionnaire is not a mistake, I don’t think it should be the first step you take.
- 2009 NFL Coaching Changes by James Campbell
The 2009 NFL season will see no less than 11 teams total taking the field with new skippers manning the helm (6 AFC and 5 NFC), however, inside that number a deeper look-see reveals that a total of 7 NFL teams will begin the new season with a completely new staff with regard to changes made at not only the head coaching position but also at the offensive and defensive coordinator positions as well. Interestingly enough 4 of the 11 new skippers heading teams this season were either in “interim” positions with the same team or were with the same team the prior season and designated as a heir apparent to the job (Jim Caldwell of the Colts, Tom Cable of the Raiders, Mike Singletary of the Niners, and Jim Mora Jr. of the Seahawks).
- Football Season is Upon Us – Is Your Tailgate Party Going to Be Good Enough? by Kristen Easton
Tailgating is a fine tradition associated with most sporting events. Football is the most common. Usually there is one person who handles the main food, such as meat, while other party goers bring a select number of accessory items. For instance, we had one couple who always brought the grill and sausages and burgers, while the rest of us brought the chips, pop, plates, etc… By sharing the load it made the entire event more affordable and manageable.
- 2009 NFL Football Picks Preview – New York Jets by Vernon Croy
Last year for the Jets was all about Brett Favre. Like ESPN, they were “All Brett, All-the-Time”. They traded a draft pick for his service for one year and now he’s back out the door. They started off great and everyone was happy again. However, they faltered down the stretch and missed the playoffs. He left them without a legitimate quarterback and they brought in Rex Ryan as the new head coach as well.
- 2009 NFL Football Picks Preview – New England Patriots by Vernon Croy

However, during the first half of week one, the plans got changed along the way. When Kansas City Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard went for the sack on Brady, his knee buckled along with the expectations for Patriots fans everywhere.
- 2009 NFL Betting Picks Preview – Pittsburgh Steelers by Vernon Croy
In 2008, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a pretty decent year. They managed to win the Super Bowl against the Arizona Cardinals and put another Lombardi Trophy in the trophy case.

If you’re searching for free NFL preseason picks, don’t expect the Steelers to repeat as champions. Let’s take a look at what the Steelers did and what they have to look forward to.
- 2009 NFL Football Picks Preview – Tennessee Titans by Vernon Croy
The Tennessee Titans are coming off one of the best seasons in franchise history. With a 13-3 regular season record its hard to believe that they needed a lot of help in the off-season. However, as with any NFL team, you can always get better. Did the Titans do enough in the off-season to merit consideration as a Super Bowl contender? Will they even make it back to the playoffs? If you’re looking for free NFL preseason picks, don’t expect the Titans to even be the top team in their division, let alone the entire NFL.

- College Football is the Most Passionate Sport – 17 Reasons Why by Mike P Weaver
College football creates and instills more passion out of players, coaches, and most definitely fans than any other American sport.

- Quarterback Weight Training – 3 Training Methods For Quarterbacks by John Wheeler
The quarterback used to be known as the weakest of all the players on the field, but the modern quarterback, like so many other athletes is a different breed. The need to build muscle, strength and power are more important now than ever and so players and coaches alike are adopting weight training programs to help quarterbacks get bigger and play better.

- Coaching Youth Football – The Snack Schedule by Jim Oddo
This is a tough one especially if you are coaching a younger youth football team. My personal opinion is there is no need for a snack before the game or at half time.

- JaMarcus Russell – Oakland Raiders by Joseph Hodgden
JaMarcus Russell… Some people in the Raider Nation think he is the franchise savior. Others in the Raider Nation feel he is a bust. JaMarcus Russell has potential to be great.

If JaMarcus Russell becomes a true leader by putting in the hours and training to be great the AFC West will be in trouble.
