The Ultimate Dream

Tracy Belton by Kevin Wilson
The previous generations of the Hamilton’s took advantage of an opportunity, and passed on the torch, to a multifaceted athlete seeking the ultimate opportunity -- an NFL contract.

Brett FavrePutting The 'D' In Drama
by Gregory Moore
Seriously, why should the Green Bay Packers even give credence to Brett Favre coming back even as a back up to Aaron Rodgers? Think about it for a minute. What kind of courtesy has Favre shown Rogers, a man who has to replace this now legend who is becoming a legendary diva on the NFL circuit?

The Philadelphia Soul make sweet music in the Arena League's Eastern Conference final.


Brett FavreThe Thing That Wouldn't Leave
by Lloyd Vance
We all know that Favre played one forgettable season in Atlanta before landing in Titletown, so it is almost sacrilege to think of the future Hall of Fame player in anything other than Green and Gold.


NFL Training Camp 20082008 NFL Training Camp Dates
by Lloyd Vance
I know this is the toughest time on everyone’s calendar as the wait for the NFL to save us from MLB doldrums can’t get here fast enough. My advice is to take a vacation for a week and before you know, it training camps will be open.


StadiumWelcome To The New Money Pit
by Mike Florio
The PSL is cooked up by the powers-that-be to squeeze more dollars out of fans' pockets. And the fans are all too eager to oblige. The logic is simple: You can buy the tickets, but if you want to actually sit in the chair, well, that'll cost ya.

BASN EXCLUSIVES


BASN NFL Picks: Super Bowl XLII
  No more stupid questions about fake injuries. No more marriage proposals from desperate women looking for attention. No more introspective stories about friends, families, and other folks related to the players. No more lame ass stories by lazy reporters about "guarantees".   Feb 1, 2008

BASN NFL Picks: Conference Championships
  Much like college basketball's "Final Four", the NFL's final four teams standing all reached this moment through four completely different paths. Even though both games are regular season rematches, unlike the arrogance of baseball, no one will feel that those previous meetings will spoil Sunday's games.   Jan 18, 2008

BASN NFL Picks: Divisional Playoffs
  Well, this week should be tougher than last week, if for no other reason than the top four playoff seeds (Dallas, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Team Tivo, aka New England) will be in action after enjoying a Wild Card bye. In fact, the remaining eight teams in the playoffs have a combined record of 101-31.    Jan 11, 2008

BASN NFL Picks: Wild Card Weekend
  The next two weekends are the exact reason why pro football fans will put up with 17 weeks of overeating, pompous radio talk show hosts, overanalyzing TV announcers, the cable wars, self righteous nimrods who've never put on a helmet, and all the other stuff in between.   Jan 4, 2008

BASN NFL Picks: Week Seventeen
  For the 12th consecutive season, five or more teams will qualify for the playoffs that were not in the postseason the year before. Green Bay, Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay did not make the playoffs last year but have done so this season.    Dec 28, 2007


BASN NFL Power Rankings: Week 17
  I fully anticipate the Tennessee Titans to take the AFC spot (Defensive-minded V.Y led team poised for a win with the Colts expected to sit several veterans) and the resurgent Washington Redskins to enter the NFC tournament (trying to continue their winning streak -- three-game winning streak since the funeral of Sean Taylor -- against Cowboys, who have nothing to gain by winning the game.   Dec 30, 2007

BASN's NFL Power Rankings: Week 16
  The playoff picture is becoming clearer each week and the only division race left is in the AFC North where the Browns and Steelers are tied at 9-5 with two weeks left to sort out who will be the champ and the other a wild card team. Remember that the Steelers own the tiebreaker because they have beaten the Browns twice head to head.   Dec 22, 2007

BASN's NFL Power Rankings: Week 15
  The separation of the have’s and have not’s continued in week 14 as the Patriots showed the Steelers that talk is cheap, the Cowboys grabbed their first NFC East division crown since 1998 with a last second victory over the reeling Lions, the Seahawks showed the exit to the Cardinals as they grabbed another NFC West crown...   Dec 15, 2007

BASN's NFL Power Rankings: Week 14
  For the second week in a row, the undefeated Patriots needed every second and every player to come through for them in tough win. This time the victory came on Tom Brady's 8-yard pass to Jabar Gaffney with 44 seconds left and a mad scramble hail mary pass that was stopped at the Pats two-yard line giving the Pats a 27-24 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.    Dec 7, 2007

BASN's NFL Power Rankings: Week 13
  We have reached the third quarter pole of the NFL season, so buckle up as we are coming in for a playoff landing. This time of year has brought the usual separation pattern of contenders and pretenders in the “Championship Rounds” (November and December).   Dec 2, 2007
