Alex’s preseason NFL rankings

The climactic finale to the 2004 Super Bowl marked the start of a whirlwind of controversy, bruised egos, loud-mouthed superstars, and dope smoking running backs that made this off-season one to remember.

I’ll briefly analyze and rank all the divisions in the NFL, all the best players in the NFL, and tell you who I think will win it all in 2005.

The Beast of the AFC East

The New England Patriots are kings of the NFL world right now.  All of the remaining teams are mere peasants fighting for any scrap of land to claim as their own.  This is the glory that comes with two Super Bowl trophies in three years and a current sixteen game winning streak.  Who can topple the mighty Pats?  I don’t believe anyone in the AFC East is capable, so once again I see New England winning their division.  That may be only the first of their many conquests in 2004.  Take a look below to see how I think the AFC East will take shape in the new NFL year.

Fantasy Football Draft Rules

This is Fantasy Football week at Sportscolumn.com. I just got back from a weekend in Vegas for my first live Fantasy Football draft and I’m all fired up. We’ve had this fantasy football league for about 7 years now but this year we decided to step it up and have a live draft in Las Vegas. I tell you what, there is nothing more fun than talking trash during a draft when most of the participants have been drinking for the last 12 hours.

All this week, I will be publishing fantasy football related columns including a recap of my draft but today, I am giving you my updated Rules of the Fantasy Draft. Stick to these drafting axioms and you will come out on top.

Terrell Owens: Go Back to Fourth Grade

By Ryan McGowan

My writing colleague here at SportsColumn, "geeefunk7," wrote today in a piece about Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens: "The fans in Philadelphia do not care if Terrell Owens calls out former teammates on their sexual orientation. They do not care whether the accent goes on the beginning of his name or the end. They do not care if he openly despises the mandatory team rule, requiring all players to wear shorts over their tights during training camp. They do not even care about his history of touchdown celebrations, and his sure intentions on creating some new ones for this upcoming season."  Certainly, the Philly faithful have every right to overlook some of the baggage that T.O. brings to the table, and instead take the very Dan Duquette-esque philosophy that a player’s performance on the field is all that matters.  They certainly have every right to embrace Owens’ considerable talent, his top-notch football skills, and his acceptance of his anointed role as the savior of the Eagles from their three straight NFC Championship game heartbreaks.  But for Philly fans in particular and NFL fans in general, if they are human beings with any sense of compassion or conscience, they should certainly take umbrage to Owens’ ignorant, savage, unfounded innuendoes regarding former teammate Jeff Garcia’s sexual preferences.
