That comment makes it seem as if he’s the poster [...]
What’s up RaiderNation? Just got back from Las Vegas and its time to get back to work. This week’s article is about recently signed, backup QB, Matt Leinart. I have seen and heard a lot of grumblings about this signing, and I will be the first to admit that he wasn’t my first choice as [...]
In as little as two months, sports geeks around the country will begin to assemble for the annual ritual that has become the sports equivalent of Dungeons and Dragons: The Fantasy Football Draft. Some people like to stick with what they know, drafting a bunch of guys from their team or division. Others, like me, [...]
