Kurt Warner: Back Among The Elite

One of the last quarterback battles to be decided before the season was between Kurt Warner and Matt Leinart.  Obviously, the right choice was made.   The past two teams he has been on, the Giants and Cardinals, brought him in as a stop gap until their “franchise” quarterback was ready. Given the job this season, the 37-year old Warner is…

On The Radar–Week 8

Donnie Avery, WR, St. Louis Rams. The number one free agent in some leagues right now. Avery is leading the charge for wide receivers in this little resurgence of the Rams.
