AFL Anniversary Means Retro Unis In Madden 10
One small piece of news for Madden 2010 that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere has to do with the 50th anniversary of the American Football League. The celebration of the AFL's anniversary is expected to be a big part of the marketing campaign that the NFL pushes this upcoming season. The eight original AFL franchises will be playing each other over two weekends in September and October and they will be breaking out their uniforms from back in the day.

T.O. Reportedly Signs With Bills
According to reports Terrell Owens has signed a one year deal with the Buffalo Bills. How will he fare in Buffalo with Trent Edwards as the QB? Does this move make them a contender in the AFC East?

But I don't see how he can be expected to handle playing with a QB that is not nearly as good as the ones he has criticized in the past. One thing is for sure the Bills will have a ...

Where Will T.O. Go?
With the news that the Dallas Cowboys have cut Terrell Owens now all the speculation has turned to where he might end up. Given that he has burned so many bridges there aren't a whole lot of viable opportunities. He will be looking to go to a team set up for a playoff run that has a good QB however ones that might need a receiver. Several teams have actually already come out and stated they want nothing to do with him. So who will end up singing him? Or will he even be able to find a team...

It's just the second day of free agency and joining all the signings comes a huge trade as Matt Cassel (along with Mike Vrabel) is sent to the Chiefs with the Patriots receiving their 2nd round pick in return. In the most prominent case of a player identified with a particular team moving on we have Brian Dawkins who joins the Broncos and leaves behind the Eagles who he very much helped to define over the years.
