Initially I thought the story would focus on the schools they attended but this article is about good decision making on the field. My mind stays in the gutter so of course I thought about that as well. Hmmm, I may need to compose a list of my own.
The NFL is addressing the concussions received by players; so this was a good look from Michael Lombardi to highlight the smartest players in the league, in his opinion.
QB Matt Schaub, Houston Texans – he doesn’t have a big arm or fast feet, so he has used his timing and intelligence to become a 4,000-yard passer. - I’m actually predicting the Texans to unseat the Colts and Titans in the AFC South, so I concur.
DE Elvis Dumervil, Denver Broncos. Under six feet tall and not that fast—but still a dominating pass rusher. He’s like a boxer who doesn’t have a great punch but still knocks guys out because he knows how to set up his opponent. Also, he can think on the move, get his brain to quickly tell his feet what to do. That’s very hard, even for NFL athletes. – Given the injuries to the running backs, departure of WR Brandon Marshall and the plethora of QBs, the Broncos will need to focus on stopping teams from scoring.

Devin Thomas is the cover boy for Krave’s magazine 5th anniversary fashion issue and we should be thankful. He looks yummy! Mr. Thomas has made a name for himself off the field; let’s hope it transitions into big success on the field in 2010. Good Luck.
This issue of Krave comes out on July 24th.
BTW, his face has cleared up nicely.

Not really…because as we know Big Ben was never arrested. (insert joke) Roethlisberger is the cover boy and featured story for Sports Illustrated May 10th issue. Titled “The Hangover”, the author writes about his repulsive behavior, the ultimate expression of athletic entitlement run amok which has forced even the most diehard fans to question their team and their football faith – and made a small town in Georgia wish he’s never paid a visit.

WHO DAT? It’s the New Orleans Saints of course. When you knock Brett Favre out of the playoffs to attend your 1st Super Bowl, anything short of a cover would be uncivilized.
SI’s Peter King writes – Big Easy Does It – Mardi Gras came early in New Orleans after the Saints dumped the Vikings to give the beleaguered citizens their first Super Bowl
Coming up with a motivational tool is huge for NFL coaches, particularly on the eve of an important game. Last Saturday night, before the biggest game in the 43-year history of the Saints, New Orleans coach Sean Payton produced a doozy at the team’s downtown hotel. As the players settled in for their last team meeting before the NFC Championship Game against the Vikings, the lights dimmed, Aerosmith’s Dream On started playing at a Superdome-decibel level, and on the video screen at the front of the room great moments in sports history went by in rapid-fire order.
Babe Ruth homering, Michael Jordan scoring, Pete Maravich floating, Roberto Clemente fielding, Tiger Woodsfist-pumping, Eddie Robinson coaching, Wayne Gretzky scoring, Jim Valvano leaping, Larry Bird shooting, Muhammad Ali punching, the Bears Super Bowl–shuffling, Doug Flutie passing, the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team celebrating—on and on, as goose bumps rose to the pulsating chorus: “Dream on, dream on, dream on….” Read More…
