Still competetitive
There's no doubt in my mind that the AFC West, AFC East, and NFC West are all worse than the NFC East
By Shawn Zobel | November 23, 2009; 05:17 PM ET | Comments (0)
Worst? Hardly
While the teams haven't been playing well as of late, the numbers clearly indicate the NFC East is one of the best.

Eastern parity, western futility
The NFC East, but looking broader, this division isn't so much bad as it is very evenly matched.

Eastern let down
Unrealistic expectations have doomed one of the best divisions in the NFL to disappointment, almost regardless of the outcome of the season.

NFC West worse
The worst division in football this year is the same one it's been for several years. The NFC West.

Are you kidding?
The NFC East (one of the strongest divisions in the entire league) has no business being in this discussion.

How far has the NFC East tumbled?
The perennial beast now finds itself mired in mediocrity, but is it really the worst division in the NFL? Vote here...

Not even close
My first reaction when this question was posed to me was "Are you kidding?'' It's also my second, third and fourth reaction.

Middling, not worst
The NFC East has hardly been the beast prognosticators thought it might be. But, no way is it the worst division in football.

Cowboys fans suck
My hatred of the Cowboys is less about the team and more about having to deal with the obnoxious fan base.

Great QBs, not a rivalry
After Brady and Manning decline and then retire this so-called rivalry will fade and fizzle.

Don't count on Cards
The only team currently leading their division played in last season's Super Bowl and, coincidentally, is the only team that won't play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

No one safe but Saints, Colts, Vikes
The two divisional leaders I have the least faith in at this point are in the West -- NFC West's Arizona and AFC West's Denver.

Strange Happenings This Season
More than one-third of the league is unbeaten or winless a quarter of the way into the season. That's not normal for the NFL.

The reason for the wide disparity in winning teams and losing ones comes down to one thing: quarterback play.

Addressing the Problem, Not the Solution
Assuming that Roger Goodell's increased discipline changes the way players act is like saying that the rooster crowing changes the way the sun comes up.

Hammer Time!
With off field drama and unpredictable legal consequences forcing Goodell's hand, he's playing his cards right.

Eli So Not Worth It
The Giants would have renewed his contract in the spring if not now, they could have saved themselves a few dollars by waiting.
By Sarah Schorno | August 6, 2009; 05:31 PM ET | Comments (1)
Giants Could Have Done Worse
The Giants have decided that, in these uncertain times, Eli is their top-half guy. They could do worse.
By Sean McCann | August 6, 2009; 03:32 PM ET | Comments (0)
Giants Had to Overpay
There's no way, under any circumstance, by any stretch of the imagination that Eli should be the highest paid player in the NFL, the highest paid at his position, or even the highest paid at his own family reunion.
By Anthony Stalter | August 6, 2009; 01:58 PM ET | Comments (17)
Well Deserved Pay Raise
Eli Manning is as valuable to the Giants organization as his brother is to the Colts. He deserves every bit of the $35M guaranteed money the Giants will pay him.

Capping Eli's Mega Deal
It's definitely a lucrative deal, but it may not necessarily be the market setting contract that it's being made out to be.

Eli: Between Average and Elite
Is he worth more than Tom Brady or his own brother? Absolutely not, but that isn't the realistic question. Eli Manning simply got what the market will bear.

Eli is a great quarterback who has proven he is capable of performing in the clutch on the biggest stage.

Eli's Giant Pay Day
Eli is the right quarterback for the New York Giants for the next seven years. That makes me happy, regardless of his paycheck.

Eli Over Burdened
If he remains on the precipice of greatness, where he currently resides, all he'll be is yet another big ticket item that didn't nearly deliver up to what was expected of him.

His Age May Cost Him More Than His Stupidity
