http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/355/1/Who-will-be-worth-the-price-of-Football-Tickets-in-2006%3F--NFL-QB-Rankings As we draw ever closer to the 2006 season, teams are beginning to get a pretty good idea in regards to their rosters, and fans are starting to get a clear idea about which football tickets will be worth obtaining based on the schedule.  Since the coaches and GM's generally don't ask us for input on their rosters, we'll give the fans a helping hand on who they should go see by ranking players at different positions in the NFL.  Today's analysis will concentrate on the quarterbacks.   x@x.com (Jay Nault) Thu, 17 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/349/1/Which-WR%92s-will-drive-Football-Tickets-sales-in-2006%3F--NFL-WR-Rankings Hold on tight, football fans - before you know it, you'll be using your football tickets to games that matter.  As the games draw near, we want to be able to help you decide which games you must see on your favorite team's schedule.  Today we're going to rank the best WR's in the NFL, and this subjective ranking goes much farther than just statistics.  Certain players are great because of their statistics, while others are great despite the lack of great stats.  Of course, there are a few WR's who could easily crack the Top 5, so we'll include an Honorable Mention section as well. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Thu, 17 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/348/1/Which-Breakout-Performers-will-boost-Football-Ticket-sales-in-2006%3F It happens every year, and 2006 will not be any different - certain players around the league seemingly come from nowhere to have phenomenal seasons, creating a buzz on the field that can be felt all the way to the football tickets window.  We'll take a look at who could bust out this season in a big way.   x@x.com (Jay Nault) Thu, 17 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/340/1/Which-Division-will-Provide-the-best-Football-Tickets-in-2006%3F Even though we are entrenched in the NFL's "Age of Parity," fans around the league still want to know what they're getting when they buy their football tickets.  As we look at the divisional breakdown, it becomes apparent that certain divisions are deeper than others.  That's why we're going to break them down individually by way of "Divisional Power Rankings."  These rankings could change throughout the season, but now is a good time to take our first look. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/322/1/How-They-Stack-Up---The-NFC-West-in-July Many see the Seattle Seahawks as the "landlords" of the NFC West, and that's probably a correct assumption.  The team got all the way to the Super Bowl last season, and their personnel losses appear manageable.  However, there is always the prospect of a "Super Bowl loss hangover," as that has ruined other teams' seasons the following year, and two other teams in particular could be on the verge of achieving big things in the division. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/320/1/How-They-Stack-Up---The-AFC-West-in-July Many pundits see a clear-cut favorite in the AFC West, and perhaps they're right - the Denver Broncos, at least on paper, appear to have a significant edge over their brethren in the division.  However, each of the other three teams made changes that could lead to one or more surprise challengers for the division title.  Each team's offseason movements are detailed below.   x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/316/1/How-They-Stack-Up---The-NFC-East-in-July The NFC East is thought by many to be the toughest division in football going into 2006.  If you read enough previews, you'll see any or all of the four teams picked to win the division title, and realistically, any of them could make a late-season run to the Super Bowl if everything goes right.  One thing IS for sure - it's going to be a rough and tumble race to the top of the NFC East in 2006. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/312/1/How-They-Stack-Up---The-AFC-East-in-July The AFC East has been the domain of the New England Patriots for quite some time now.  As it stands, you still have to call them the favorites to win the division in 2006, but there could be a serious challenger in the division ready to take the crown in the Miami Dolphins.  The experts seem to think that the Jets and Bills will be also-rans this year, but this is the NFL, and there are always surprises. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/293/1/Key-Returnees---A-Look-at-a-Few-Players-Who-Could-Lead-Their-Teams-to-Prominence Every year, selected teams tend to have their seasons at least partially ruined due to unforeseen injuries.  A widely-held league belief is that a team generally has one or two big-time playmakers, and if one of these central pieces is lost because of injury, that team is in big trouble.  Below you'll find a few of the players attempting to come back from an injury, and what potential impact a successful return could mean for their teams. x@x.com (Jay

front offices of teams around the NFL, there's a good opportunity to take a look at how teams have improved, or not improved, as we head into the home stretch before training camp begins.   Today we'll take a look at the NFC North, and there could be some surprises in this division come fall. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/288/1/How-They-Stack-Up---The-AFC-North-in-June All is about to be very quiet on the NFL front, as most staff and players take advantage of the final opportunity to relax and recharge before the grind of training camp begins.  This is also an opportunity to take a look at the AFC North to see how the teams in the division are looking as their rosters near completion.  x@x.com (Jay Nault) Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/270/1/Fearless-%28Perhaps-Foolish%29-Playoff-Predictions-for-2006 Now that the draft, free agency and the first set of minicamps have come and gone, teams are close to being set in terms of personnel.  The schedule is in place for every team, and this time of year presents the first somewhat realistic opportunity to look ahead.  Of course, there could still be player movement, and injuries are always a monkey wrench in terms of gauging which teams are poised for a big year.  With all that being said, it's time for the first set of fearless predictions for the 2006 season, including who will make the playoffs.  x@x.com (Jay Nault) Mon, 10 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/235/1/NFL-Training-Camp---Is-It-Too-Long%3F The demands on NFL teams have grown exponentially over the past couple of decades.  It wasn't too long ago that many NFL players, even starters, felt the need to get or hold a "regular" job during the offseason, and used the time spent in training camp to get into playing shape for the regular season.  It also used to be that teams played up to six preseason games as opposed to the current four or maybe five exhibitions. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Wed, 21 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/234/1/Offseason-Discipline---NFL-Players-Diversifying-Their-Training NFL players are individuals by nature, and each position and scheme demands different physical and mental capabilities in order to maximize success.  As such, offseason training that used to be a matter of running a few miles per day to stay in shape has become its own cottage industry.  We'll take a look at some different things players do to stay in shape and to get bigger, faster and stronger during the offseason. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Wed, 21 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/223/1/Five-Teams-That-Could-Shock-the-World We've seen it in recent years in the NFL.  With the advent of free agency and the salary cap, parity is all the rage in today's NFL.  Over the past seven seasons, several surprise teams have come from seemingly nowhere to run through the playoffs and walk off with the Lombardi Trophy, leading stunned football fans everywhere to wonder if what they'd just seen was real.  The Rams, Ravens and even the Patriots have all left the league in their wakes recently, which means that every season there is optimism in every NFL city.   x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 16 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/222/1/New-NFL-Coaches-Face-Unique-Challenges This offseason saw nearly one third of the teams in the NFL bring new coaches aboard, and each situation presents questions that will ultimately lead to the success or failure of the new regimes.  History suggests that some will succeed and others fail.  We're betting that the new coaches are spending many of their working hours pondering some of the same issues detailed below. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 16 Jun 2006

and players all tend to head in separate directions this time of year for some final R&R before the last minicamps and final preparations for training camps begin in a few weeks.   x@x.com (Jay Nault)

make the playoffs in 2006 were laid out in the open.  Since we've opened ourselves up to look foolish enough trying to pick playoff teams in the spring, we figured we'd pass the dead time on the league calendar taking things a step further.  In this article you'll find our picks for who will advance through the playoffs and win the Super Bowl.  If you're just a casual football fan, this will save you the time of watching or attending any games.  If you're a rabid follower of the league, we'll be ready to hear you blast away at the predictions that don't pan out as the year goes along.

(Organized Team Activity) has come to the forefront this time of year.  There are a few reasons for that.  One is that the calendar reads May and June, and this is the time of year when activity is at its lowest.  The draft is over, free agency, for all intents and purposes, is finished and coaches and staff members are going to cycle into their much-needed vacations.  x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 16

There are no formulas for success and no tangible formulas for failure.  However, every season, certain players have to know that if they don't perform that year, their future earning potential could be seriously hampered to the point where they are either out of the league altogether or they must begin to view themselves as "journeymen" who will never sign that elusive enormous free agent contract that sets them up financially for life.  x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 16 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0600

opportunity to take a breath and see what we have to look forward to this fall.  As is always the case, dozens of high-impact players have changed teams, new coaches have been hired, and not only will historic rivalries be renewed, but new rivalries will spice the schedule throughout the season.  Below are ten of the most intriguing games this season. x@x.com (Jay Nault) Fri, 16 Jun 2006 00:00:00

lot of scoring, and dazzling plays made in tight quarters. The AFL, which has just entered its twentieth season, features 19 teams in two conferences-the National and American. Each conference is divided into two divisions, with the Eastern and Southern divisions in the National Conference and the Central and Western in the American. e_right@msn.com (Paul Mroczka) Fri, 28 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/140/1/The-2006-NFL-Season-%96-You-Bet%21 It feels great when you are watching an intense game and the team you are rooting for wins. Hasn't there ever come a time where you are looking at that final score and think to yourself, "I knew that was going to happen!" After all, you know your team very well, you know the statistics of every player, you know every play to every game they have played and considering who the opposing team is, you know when a win is on the horizon. Does it ever dawn on you what a shame it was that you never wagered on the games you think your team would have won? x@x.com (Mark Rothstein) Mon, 24 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.premiumwebsitecontent.com/articles/49/1/Manning-and-Manning---Can-Either-Brother-win-the-Big-One%3F It was just over a year ago, after the Colts lost to the Pats in their post-season contest, that Boomer Esiason said on national television, "I think maybe Peyton (Manning) is this generation's Dan Marino."  Esiason went on to state that Manning "is a great football player, but he's not going to get to the Super Bowl, I'm telling you, not with that defense." e_right@msn.com (Paul Mroczka) Tue, 21 Feb 2006 00:00:00 -0700
