In his first 25 or so games in the NFL, he was somewhere between amazing and unbelievable. Then, something happened...

DOMINANT DENVER D : The Denver Broncos have compiled a 4-0 record under rookie head coach JOSH MCDANIELS . Their offense has been helped immeasurably by the team’s tough defense. Through four games, the Broncos’ defense has yielded 26 points (6.5 per game). The fewest points allowed through the first five games of a season since 1970 : TEAM YEAR POINTS ALLOWED PTS. ALLOWED PER GAME Atlanta...

I think a lot of you remember. I try to forget but, unfortunately, I remember. The last time the Kansas City Chiefs met the Dallas Cowboys was the continuation of a trend. The Chiefs did two things that were very typical of the 2005 team, and the Dick Vermeil era in general: The offense scored a lot of points and the defense gave up a lot of points. Remember those days? Trent Green threw for 340 yards...

An interesting query from GQ: What kind of douche bag do you aspire to be? Only in America. GQ listed America's Douchiest Colleges . Bostonist won't quarrel with most of the list. Most The biggest problem with GQ's list is a glaring omission: Where is BC? They've got the Eagle Douche, Double Eagle Douche, and the Triple Eagle Douche. So Much Douchebaggery that you need three categories of Douche....

You guys know Football Outsiders , at least most of you do. They produce all those funky, cool new stats that break down players into ways we didn't even think about a decade ago. Each year they produce a book called Football Outsiders Almanac 2009 , which has chapters on all the NFL teams and even college stuff (available in PDF format). They sent me a copy and agreed to answer some questions about...

It has been quiet on the Terry Glenn front ever since being arrested for being doped up and crazy in a hotel room. But he still has photos of his goofy ass floating around the Internets. And we found him from back in the day totally disrespecting the image we had of him. Would BC picture Glenn being [...]

Ever since the trade went through, I’ve been thinking about how the team will utilize Tony Gonzalez. Originally, I was worried that Mularkey simply didn’t like to use the Tight End. But Randy McMichael ’s 62 catches for the 2006 Miami Dolphins debunked that myth – he’ll use the Tight End when he has a playmaker at the position. Now with Dave’s profile up on Ben Hartsock...

The Dallas Cowboys have stocked the wide receiver position with veterans the past several years. Terry Glenn and Terrell Owens have played the lion's share of downs on the flanks of Dallas' offense. When Dallas has developed young receivers, they have come from the late rounds ( Patrick Crayton , 7th round) or the undrafted free agent ranks -- Miles Austin and Sam Hurd . Now that Glenn and Owens have...
