Panthers Plan to Pick Luck #1
After completing a rout of Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl last night, Stanford QB Andrew Luck now has the decision to make on whether he will return to school or enter the NFL Draft. Luck is seen as the sure-fire #1 pick and it appears the Carolina Panthers want him to know they feel the same way. Sources within the organization today leaked that if he does enter the draft that the team intends to take him with the top pick.

With the MGM bankruptcy having stalled some high profile projects, most notably The Hobbit and James Bond 23, one that has been largely overlooked is the remake of the 1984 film Red Dawn.

Madden 11 Week 17 Ratings Change Suggestions
Following a week off the final regular season roster update for Madden 11 is expected out by the end of the week. Week 17 of the NFL season is not a great one though for analyzing players since many of the games involve one or both of the teams having nothing to play for. If you missed it check out my look at the ratings for those players selected to the Pro Bowl as well as highly rated ones that didn't make the cut. Arian Foster sealed up the rushing title by going for 180 and totaled 1616...

2011 NFL Draft Section Launched
With the NFL season now complete I've launched the NFL Draft section of the site. Mock drafts, news relating to the draft, team needs, position rankings, combine reports, and other coverage will be housed there!  This is something I did last year that seemed to click and get good response and I'm even more comfortable expanding on that now. With the exception of the occasional mock drafts or articles tying in with Madden 12 those postings will not appear on the front page. So make sure t...
