The Giants Should Sign Gregg Zaun

09 Nov 2009 14:23:57 PST

Written by Chris
The price is right. Zaun would only cost the Giants $2-3M as compared to potentially $6M (or more) for someone like Bengie Molina. It doesn’t sound like a huge amount of money, but it’s $2-3M more that the Giants could spend on a more deserving free agent.

Written by reebokforthree
11. Portland Trail Blazers (10) – Win over the Spurs was important for moral, Portland is in a great position to run-off four road wins before entering Atlanta. 28. New York Knicks (26) – This team is sorry, sad, and ugly. I hope 2010 is worth it because basketball is dying in New York.

Replacing Lovie Smith Easier Than You'd Think

09 Nov 2009 10:02:50 PST

Written by James
Other losing teams are trying to get better, but the Bears can't improve unless they admit they are in trouble, and they're in trouble with Lovie Smith. But if the Bears organization decides to allow the Lovie Smith era to continue, then another team will surely hire Frazier as their new hea...

Is Jason Campbell an option for the Rams at QB in 2010?

09 Nov 2009 09:11:13 PST

Written by VanRam
To be sure, Campbell's not going to be a sexy acquistion for whoever signs him. Expect grumbling. You have to wonder though if he couldn't step in behind a much improved Rams offensive line and run a somewhat familiar offense. This route frees up the Rams to take a WR or DL with their top pick in th...
