Like all sports fans ever, Buffalo Bills backers can take solace in not getting gut-punched every single week last season like Detroit Lions adherents. Except maybe they can’t: At least Detroit never teased its followers with playoff dreams or an undefeated September. ...

I'm a proponent of the death penalty, and I say that fully aware that most criminologists do not believe it stops crime. In fact, according to a study published at Northwestern University School of Law’s Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, 88 percent of the coun ...

The Buffalo Bills couldn’t hold a lead last season. It wasn’t merely on a game-by-game basis: They blew it on a global scale. The squad notoriously plummeted from divisional studs to sub-.500 playoff outcasts; in doing so, the Bills proved that no lead is safe. That ...

While many question marks surround the Oakland Raiders’ wide receiving corps, the tight end position is in good hands thanks to Zach Miller -- who proved to be one of quarterback JaMarcus Russell’s favorite targets a year ago and their relationship is expected to flouri ...

Buffalo Bills fans don’t have to worry about losing another alleged home game to Ontario, at least not yet. Um, yay? Owner Ralph Wilson claimed in an Associated Press interview that he’s pleased with the Treaty of Toronto’s current terms, and won’t reconsider them for ...

Wide receiver Javon Walker’s tenure in Oakland has been turbulent thus far, but his importance during the upcoming season is crucial. The Raiders deploy an inexperienced group of wideouts and Walker must become the catalyst the team expected him to be. If Oakland’s pa ...

The NFC East has been called The Beast for quite some time because of the talent its teams possess. If offseason moves are any indication, though, the AFC East may soon be the king of the jungle known as the NFL. Every team in the division improved or added players who ...

Although he was drafted into one of the most dysfunctional franchises in the NFL, Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell continues to draw adverse reviews. Russell’s long-term future remains uncertain, but continuous remarks regarding his poor work ethic are beco ...

The dream of an 18-game regular season in the NFL may come true in the near future. Of all the wonderful things about two extra contests per year, the best may be that Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens will have two fewer weeks during the offseason to complain about ...

A quick note to anyone worrying about the recent arrest of Vontae Davis, the Miami Dolphins' first-round cornerback. Spend your time fretting about something else. Davis isn’t going to get in trouble. Why? Well, he wasn’t even the person who was arrested. Weird how that ...

Call them the Buffalo Billboards. A new NFL rule allows teams to slap ads on practice jerseys, and reports claim the Buffalo Bills are naturally considering taking part. They haven’t chosen to participate, yet, but skinflint owner Ralph Wilson is exactly the type who ...

The Oakland Raiders have been plagued by a revolving door at the left tackle position in recent years, but they may have found their long-term solution in Mario Henderson. Henderson came on strong toward the end of last year and is expected to pick up right where he le ...

The San Francisco 49ers invested the 10th overall pick in April's NFL draft on wideout Michael Crabtree, but Mike Singletary and company won’t rush him into action. The 49ers have several other young options at the position with more experience and Crabtree could be us ...

You know who’s not bored during this nadir of NFL activity? The bookmakers! The odds-makers and money-takers continue to try to make a living off those ever-speculating punters (bad economy, schmad economy!), even in this wasteland. Because we’ve been known to partake i ...

The Buffalo Bills must be doing something right, even if nobody’s sure what it is. Reports claim that they’re on track to sell 55,000 season tickets for 2009, which is a remarkable accomplishment for a team that’s spent a decade proving true parity is impossible. Fans ...
