Cowboys Chemistry Upgrade
I still have little faith in coach Wade Phillips but losing major distractions like TO and Pacman can’t hurt.  I’m not sure I would draft Dallas early in the 1st round like many people did last year.

More Power Rankings
I thought this was an interesting power ranking list. There will be several of these coming out over the next 6 weeks and into the season. It’s amazing how much they change week to week and publisher to publisher even before the season begins. This one was clearly written with a Houston slant but even [...]

Early NFL Team Power Rankings - Perfect for JHB Sports Drafts
I thought this was a pretty good breakdown of NFL team rankings going into the 2009 NFL season. These are often some of the best resourses going into a JHB Sports NFL team style fantasy football draft. Althought I don’t agree with everything Peter King of SI says here, I do like the way he breaks it [...]
