Larry Brown and Desmond Howard both tricked the Raiders into issuing contracts the year after each respectively won a Super Bowl MVP award, and, while Dominic Rhodes was only a should-have-been co-award winner, the fact is that playing for Oakland while being weighed do ...

Thanks to the opening scene in "Pulp Fiction," everyone knows that “garcon” means boy. As for Pierre Garcon, he hopes to defy the boundaries of his last name’s meaning by emerging as one of the guys who functions as a target for Peyton Manning after serving as th ...

You won’t see the Indianapolis Colts anywhere near the ubiquitous online Top 10 lists for either “Best Offseason 2008” or “Worst Offseason 2008,” but the two major personnel moves team president Bill Polian has made in building this year’s squad could have b ...
