"Death Star" Lotulelei Might Be The NFL's Next Great Defensive Lineman
Last season, Carolina drafted Luke Kuechly, who's currently one of the best inside linebackers in the league. This year it was defensive tackle Star Lotulelei. While he isn't even the full-time starter yet, every indication says he's going to be an absolute world-breaker, if he isn't already. ...
Texans Fire Gary Kubiak

Peyton Manning had 33 touchdowns through Week 9 this season, putting him on pace to throw 59 and crush Tom Brady's single-season mark.

Kellen Winslow Jr. Picks Pats-Broncos For The AFC Title Game
Which is not a bad pick! Until you remember that Winslow plays for the Jets, and that the Jets are still mathematically in contention for a playoff spot. This is what's known as picking with your head and talking out of your ass, which makes it a very Kellen Winslow Jr. thing to say....
