Steve McNair was one of the greatest competitors I've ever played against. I'll always remember playing against him. Many of our defensive players talked about what a huge challenge it was playing against him. He and I had some great battles against each other. Sharing the NFL MVP honor with him in 2003 was special because of what a great football player he was. I had the opportunity to play in a couple...
The relationship between draft position and both Pro Bowl selections and years as a starter wasn't enough to convince a Mocking the Draft commenter that scouts and front offices are at all accurate in finding the best players, and that draft position does relate to a players career success. The commenter wanted only HOF data. The results from the 77 HOF inductees that have been drafted since 1967 (when...

Via Music City Miracles , here's a list that reveals Stampede Blue as the #8 NFL Blog on the Internet. Also of note is that Stampede Blue is the top NFL Blog on SB Nation. Having been a member here since April Fools Day , it's not that hard to believe. Here's a few other interesting things I noticed from the list: 18 of the top 30 blogs are SB Nation blogs. That's just incredible. SB Nation really...

Enjoy your grill outs, family gatherings, and (most importantly) shooting ancient Chinese rockets off into the sky and watching them explode in a cascade of colorful sparks. Oh, and make sure you are careful with your fireworks. They can, like, blow up in your face, and stuff. Happy 4th, everyone! GO COLTS!
4th of July weekend could be the dead period in the NFL. It has been forever since minicamp, and it will feel like an eternity until training camp starts (about a month!). That's why almost every blog is making little gimmicks just to put something out. I will say that I am liking what 18to88 is doing. I am a Reds fan and it is hard to find baseball blogs I enjoy, and 18to88 is the right level of fandom...

Eric Foster , who has been modeling his game after former Vikings great John Randle. Colts d-line coach John Terrlick coached Randle in Minnesota.
Back in the 1950's and 60's, there was a game show called "What's My Line?" where a panel of celebrity judges tried to guess the occupation of a guest. On one night in 1958 ( no, not that night ) one of the guests was a professional football player that you might be familiar with. Here's how his TV appearance went: There's so many great things in this video that you would never see happen...
Writer mgrex03 gets some love from Football Outsiders Bill Barnwell, stat guru at the stat-tastic football Mecca that is Football Outsiders, gives our own mgrex03 some love. Of course, it's only natural that DVOA whore shake n bake is extremely jealous of the laurels FO has bestowed on mgrex03.
I hope everyone enjoyed last night's little podcast, which (truth be told) was little more than a glorified test of Blog Talk Radio's features. I hadn't touched the site in over two years and needed a little test drive before I start making higher quality podcasts. And a special thank you to Indy Lori for the kind words about my radio voice. I must admit, i come in a distant second to JasonB , who...
This week in the Finding the Winning Factors series , let's take a look at a not-so common Football Outsider stat: Drive Success Rate . The FO website didn't give a full definition on their website , but said to refer to Pro Football Prospectus 2005 , where it was introduced. The Public Library came to the rescue, and I found exactly what they meant: Drive Success Rate (or more precisely, series of...
