I would like to say that the Redskins will be 12-4 this year and will be go to the Conference Championship game. RG3 will have a MVP worthy season along with a league leading rushing in Alfred Morris. Plus expect a drastic improvement on defense having a healthy KO in the middle of the field ( Kerrigan and Orakpo) along with a better secondary we will be a team to watch out for.

<p>I still feel like the Giants are the "team to beat" in the NFC East. I hate sports cliches so what an opportune time to use one!</p><p> </p><p>

Seriously though. I'm an Eagles fan and it pains me to give the Giants any credit, but they still seem to be the team with the most talent on paper right now. I think the Redskins are on a rise and could very well be a strong team if RG3 holds up. Either way, it's between those teams and I think they're both playoff calibre teams in the NFC.</p><p> </p><p>

The Cowboys are a joke at this point and the Eagles were so bad last year if they won 6 games we'd be thrilled.</p>

<p>The biggest thing to look at is that scrambling QB's get hurt. Its not if, but when with them. RGIII is coming back from a big surgery. How is his game going to change? Will he be gun shy? Will he not be gun shy? Will the leg hold up? </p><p> </p><p>

I understand we witnessed something historic with AD last year and his return after a similar surgery but that is not the norm and I don't see it being the norm. I think its foolish to predict anyone coming into their second year in the league and coming off of a major surgery like that at such an important position in such a tough division will be the MVP. I'm not saying its impossible but the odds are not even close to in his favor. </p><p> </p><p>

The skins are going to be doing good to win their division let alone get to the Super Bowl. I think they are a team much like the Vikings that may have peaked a bit early. </p><p> </p><p>

They have talent but a lot of it is young and the Shannahan's have been more of an example of how not to run a team than how to run it since getting to Washington so we'll see.</p>

The Cowboys might be the best in the division at "average." But again, the Eagles spotted the Chiefs 10 points and spent the whole game trying to dig their way out. You just can't do that in the NFL, no matter how good your offense is supposed to be. They're also killing their defense out there. The Eagles defense was on the field literally twice the amount of time the offense was on the field. Definitely two winnable games for the Eagles though. They're just not all that good, despite beating up a similarly bad Redskins team.</p>

<p>So I think I figured out how to fix the issue with college players making money.</p><p> </p><p>

The NCAA should take the money that it makes from NCAA football video games and give the profits to the players for their likeness being used.</p><p> </p><p>

NCAA has already said they weren't going to do the game anymore because of the lawsuit so it's not like they would be losing money. Each football player could possible gain another $3000 dollars from this, depending on the math and how many players their are.</p>

This year's NCAA game is pretty good, but the defense is still terrible and there's some big flaws. I've been enjoying it though.

 

From reports this will be the last... Sad

 

In other funny news, ea did come to a settlement offer for the 200,000-300,000 college athletes involved in the suit...... The settlement offer comes out to..... 40 million.

 

Now depending on what the lawyers take (when will people realize that class action lawsuits only benefit lawyers) that equates to.......... 200 dollars per person... If it's only 200k and before taxes and lawyer's take.

 

What the athletes really won, is now there is no more Ea sport NCAA football. It's sad honestly. Yes ea has made a ton of money off this series and escaped a huge lawsuit with only 40 mil being given out.

 

Yet, it's sad. Some of those guys got to be in a video game, NCAA makes 2 times as much as ea does a year from these players and yet now none of us get the game.... Even some of those in the lawsuit who played the game.

 

Now this also might just be a stepping stone for the players against the NCAA, but something tells me NCAA has a plan to fix it's issues, they are just waiting until they truly needs to change.

 

Oh well.... R.I.P NCAA football game.

As a Giants fan I am not really all that shocked that they have started out 0-4. I mean they really have no running game to speak of and their defense is shoddy. Plus Eli is getting intercepted left and right. So all that adds up to a very bad start for them.

 

I will admit that I thought they would have had at least one win by now. So in a sense I am a little shocked by that.

<p>Sileo is now with 640 AM in Miami, third best sports station in the market (out of 4) if ratings are to be believed.</p><p> </p><p>

He was fired from 560 AM in Miami (the flagship of the Miami Hurricanes) after his rant against the team after their loss against K-State) and sexist comments towards Erin Andrews. That, and an anti-semitic remark...</p>
