Football Fan Spot

  And Daniel Snyder was doing so well this offseason. He got Josh Wilson, Santana Moss, and Barry Cofield for either market value or below market value. I guess it was only a matter of time until he did something like this. Bowen had a nice season last year, but…

By Sean Geddes  Tonight we square off with last year’s division champions, the Cincinnati Bengals. What a difference a year can make, as the Bengals team that swept the division last season look like a shell of their former selves, currently sitting at 2-5 on the young season. With a weaker…

    By Sean Geddes  If you’re a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, this, more than maybe any other time before, is a season of football that is long overdue. The offseason lasted far, far too long. When camp pads started popping in Latrobe, PA just a few short weeks ago a breath…

  Nose Tackle Casey Hampton turns 35 in September and is going into a contract year. He’s also a candidate to start the year on the PUP with a torn ACL, assuming he isn’t cut first. The Steelers don’t have another nose tackle. If Dontari Poe is available at 24,…
