The Cooley Zone: My draft day story has a happy ending
No player really knows where the hell he's going in the draft ( except Jake Long ). I know this because playing four years in the NFL has taught me that anything is possible. Watching high-profile draftees sulk while teams pick in every different ...

The Cooley Zone: NFL needs to change how rookies are paid
The Cooley Zone: NFL needs to change how rookies are paid
Rookies in the NFL make too much money. As a player I should be excited for anyone making a big contract. Good for them, right? For the top 20 draft picks it sounds great to sign a larger contract than guys that have played in the league for 10 ...

Later, his dad tried to get him to do a shot on his 18th birthday, too, telling young Mike that liquor would "put hair on his chest." But Martz cried, told his father that he didn't need a hairy chest, and ..."

G2's plan to have Derek Anderson destroy me is also successful
In the second of three fake, stupid, unfair bowling matches I have scheduled this week, I was to take on Derek Anderson , the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns , and the man who has nobly kept Brady Quinn (relatively) out of the spotlight.  ...

I didn't know Jerry Jones and Steve Urkel were this close

Favre's 253 consecutive starts > Ripken's 2,632 consecutive games
It's impossible to rank the greatest records in sports history. There are just too many variables, too many skills that are difficult to compare, and too many eras to compare them across. That shouldn't stop anyone from trying, though. It's ...

Matt Leinart is very good at fake stupid bowling
I've seen or met very few people around town this week who actually care about the outcome of the Giants-Patriots game on Sunday. There are a lot of reasons for this: a lot of true fans are priced out of attending the game, media and corporate types ...
