Wendy Bupb - Panthersgab.com: Terrell Owens - While I like T.O., and his talent is undeniable, he’s too much of an individual in a team sport. I have been waiting for the wheels to come off in Dallas, and I believe they’re starting to look a little wobbly. After Jake Delhomme went down [...]

Filed under: Buccaneers , NFC South Quick, name the team with the best run defense in the NFL right now. Baltimore? Pittsburgh? Minnesota? Perhaps. But how about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Not only are the Buccaneers the only first place team in the league nobody seems to be talking about, they also may have the best run defense in the league through the first six weeks.

NFL owners discussed playing spring preseason games as part of a possible expansion of the regular-season schedule. No action was taken by the owners as they wrapped up their meetings on Wednesday. No change in the regular-season schedule is expected for 2009. "I think the focus was on how do we prepare for the season," commissioner Roger Goodell said. "Football readiness was probably the No. 1 issue...

"We have been working on this for some time," Goodell said. "They'll be no vote. There's no recommendation at this point in time.

Last year, I wrote one of these every week and, boy, did it get boring fast. This year, I plan to do three: one at each (approximate) third of the season, and in much shorter form. Normally, I’d do the two conferences alphabetically (to talk about the Broncos first, naturally which, incidentally, I still just managed to do…GO BRONCOS!) but, since the single move of the trade deadline is so hilarious,...

Filed under: Steelers , AFC North , NFL Fans , NFL Referees Another week, another fine for Hines Ward , who now owes the league $10,000 for unnecessary roughness penalties in consecutive games against Ravens and Jaguars.

Among the laments this season -- a fullback who can't block, a tight end who can't block, and a defensive line that doesn't...

The Cowboys paid a steep price for Lions' WR Roy Williams , who seeks a new contract. The Chiefs held onto future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez , in whom the Eagles seem to be interested. Does this activity underscore the difference between the franchise people suggest will win the Super Bowl versus the one that, while good, might not get their under the combination of owner Jeffrey Lurie and...
