  • NFL Preview '11: Tennessee Titans

    Both the Jeff Fisher and Vince Young eras are over in Tennessee. There appeared to be hope for both after an 8-2 finish to the 2009 season but 2010 offered a complete reversal with the Titans ending the year 2-8.

  • NFL Preview '11: San Francisco 49ers

    After going 8-8 in 2009 the San Francisco 49ers were the vogue pick to break out in 2010 but an 0-5 start put the Niners in a hole they were unable to climb out of. Before year's end coach Mike Singletary was fired and San Fran ended the year 6-10.

  • Big, Huge Week

    Get ready for a flurry of activity of the next seven days with two rounds of roster cuts, the end of the NFL preseason, the start of college football and of course the three games series between the Brewers and Cardinals at Miller Park.

  • Packers-Colts: Three Keys

    Not Quite Ready For Primetime Week 3 is the dress rehearsal week so look for the starters to play through the first half. Even though almost all of the starting spots are locked up there will be plenty of looks for the guys who may not start but will be expected to contribute. It will be interesting to see how much playing time is doled out at tight end and safety.

  • NFL Preview '11: Cleveland Browns

    Since re-joining the league in 1999 success has been elusive for the Cleveland Browns, who haven't made the playoffs since 2002. However, the pieces are slowly falling into place and the Browns have a window of hope in 2011.

  • NFL Preview '11: Arizona Cardinals

    After a successful two year run the Arizona Cardinals sunk to the bottom of the NFC West in 2010. The Cardinals were caught flat-footed after the retirement of quarterback Kurt Warner. The revolving door at quarterback in 2010 forced the Cardinals to pull the trigger on one of the biggest offseason trades in an attempt to jumpstart the offense.

  • NFL Preview '11: Cincinnati Bengals

  • NFL Preview '11: Buffalo Bills

  • Packers-Cardinals: Three Keys

    Position Battles Left guard, right outside linebacker and safety are the three contested spots in the starting lineup. TJ Lang, Erik Walden and Morgan Burnett have the inside track. An impressive performance tonight could solidify a starting spot for Week One.

  • NFL Preview '11: Denver Broncos

    For only the third time since 1994 the Denver Broncos finished with a losing record and the four win total was the lowest in 20 years. The 2010 campaign saw a coaching change midseason as well as a quarterback change later in the year.

  • Packers-Browns: Three Keys

    Everyone on the same page Obviously the biggest key throughout the preseason every year is making sure you don't lose any starters due to injury. This year the injury concern is joined by the issue of making sure everyone is where they need to be. In the last two summers the offense looked in midseason form by the second preseason game. But this year with limited time to get communication down pat, getting everyone in synch may take some time.

  • Scoreboard Watching

    For all intents and purposes, the NL Central is a two team race and that gives extra flavor to the already important midweek series between the Brewers and Cardinals. However, it's not just the NL Central that's in play for the Crew. San Francisco has fallen back, opening the door for the Brewers to grab the second best record in the NL. And the Braves, once thought to have a lock on the wild card, have also come back to the pack.

  • Ready To Draft??

    Twitter will be the place to be for the NBA Draft tonight. Already the Bucks have pulled the trigger on a three-way trade and more of the same is expected throughout the league. Plus there's the drama of where Jimmy Butler and Jon Leuer will wind up.
