Cleveland Browns Left Guard, Eric Steinbach, will likely retain his starting position this season, however, it is also likely that he will see less snaps throughout the year.
Very little can be gleaned from the ongoing minicamp at this early juncture, but it is one piece of the puzzle.  Steinbach has not been seeing much action at [...]

Aaron Kampman is Not Feeling the 3-4 Thing

Written by Dan Zinski | May 29, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)

The Packers‘ transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense was always going to be a difficult one, but the Green Bay coaching staff at least hoped their players would help smooth it some by being on-board for it.  Hope dashed:
Aaron Kampman did nothing Thursday to quell speculation that he’s not overly thrilled about his [...]

Written by Pacman Jonesin' | Running from the Name...and its Ghosts | May 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'

Phinphanatic Raises the Alarm: Beer Prices Going Up.

Written by kevinferguson | May 29, 2009 | Comments Off | NFL, SideLion Report (Lions)

Read “Tailgaters Beware” here
It makes sense on the surface.  The United States already taxes the hell out of cigarrettes, beer, wine, and just about everything else so raising the taxes on alcohol really makes sense.  Especially when you figure in the money dolled out to save GM…snicker…and of course bail out the credit card companies that just [...]
