The NFL draft is this Thursday and to be honest with the ACC’s landmark GOR deal that I’ve blogged about, I haven’t been able to dig into this much.

I’ll be honest this Super Bowl between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers isn’t really grabbing my attention. I’m originally from Georgia and lived in Atlanta for the better part of 4 1/2 years so I had some hometown loyalty to the Atlanta Falcons. New England would have been fun, because there would have …

Today as I headed to lunch at the day job, I got a harmless question from one of my co-workers. Who was my favorite NFL team? Frankly I hadn’t really thought about it in quite awhile. I live in South Carolina was it the Carolina Panthers? I used to live in Atlanta, maybe it’s the …

The 2012 NFL draft is in the books. There were 31 ACC players picked. Over the last few years we’ve heard certain myths regarding offenses, general talent level and recruiting that this year’s NFL draft opened some eyes about. Consider Boise St. never recruits any of those elite classes, but they had 6 NFL players …

After Eli Manning won his second Super Bowl to move ahead brother Peyton Manning by 1 NFL Championship, there is a simple question that must asked. Who’s better Eli Manning or Peyton Manning? Which brother do you want playing QB for you? If you’re judging by Championships then it has to be Eli. If you’re …

I have to be perfectly honest, I wanted to the New Orleans Saints or Green Bay Packers to play the New England Patriots in a future Hall of Fame quarterback battle, Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers against Tom Brady. Wow would that have been fun to see, but the San Francisco 49ers and NY Giants …

Since all of my fantasy football teams either failed to make the playoffs or got eliminated, I now can watch the NFL games without regard for which player is getting is getting the ball the most. There are some pretty big stories going on out there too. You’ve got the Green Bay Packers who are …

I wrote recently about Cam Newton’s early criticism being unwarranted. My main reason for that is that rookie quarterbacks in the NFL will struggle we all know that. The Carolina Panthers can do some things though to make Newton’s transition from college to the NFL easier, and Gregg Doyel of CBSSportsline makes a very good point in his article “Pocket guide …

I debated posting anything this weekend, when all of our friends from North Carolina to the North East are under a deluge of rain and wind from Hurricane Irene. I figured though some of you out there could use a distraction. Here’s hoping that all of everyone dries out quickly. I’ve been watching and reading …

Author: Contributing Writer Chet Cashley of ChetCashley.com What will the Philadelphia sports world be talking about tomorrow after what is sure to be anything but the typical first Preseason game? For starters, starters will likely be an afterthought after we see how deep this year’s Eagles team really is. We’ll be missing DeSean Jackson and …

Author: Contributing Writer Chet Cashley of ChetCashley.com The Philadelphia Eagles have the most explosive offense in the National Football League in 2011. Hands down. End of story. That’s a bold statement, I know, so I’ll back it up. The Eagles have maintained their 2010 starting offensive roster, and made improvements in the depth chart where necessary. That same …
