Position Battles for the Defending Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens
All the coverage on positional battles this offseason seems to revolve around the quarterback position – will it be Sanchez or Smith in New York, will Matt Flynn hold onto the starting job in Oakland, is EJ Manuel ready for prime time. But it turns out other positions also have battles – I know, I'm as shocked as you are. It's not always the teams at the bottom of the standings, either – even good teams are struggling in OTAs, trying to figure out who will replace key starters at key positions.

The first-ballot Hall of Famer, Los Angeles Ram legend – the man who came up with the word "sack" to describe his relentless pursuit of quarterbacks. Deacon Jones died in his home Monday night, from natural causes. He was 72 years old.

The Jets will Make a Pass to Surprise People in 2013
The last time the Jets were written off as also-rans, they went 10-6 and were a missed field goal away from reaching the AFC title game. Yet here we are again, with the rest of the league and its supporters assuming the Jets will be dreadful in 2013. Don’t bet on it, I say. Sure, the Jets won’t win it all, but they’ll be a lot better than you think.

The Oakland Raiders Quarterback Controversy
The Jets aren't the only team locked in a quarterback controversy this offseason. But while they're dealing with trying to decide between a disappointing known quantity and some new hope for the future, the Oakland Raiders find themselves with three giant question marks, trying to figure out which unproven player will fit best in their offense in 2013.

Breaking Down the New York Jets' Quarterback Mess
Mark Sanchez has not had the best offseason. When teammates are coming out of the woodwork to say that, while you're still a good guy and all that, "there's a general feeling among some of the players that maybe it's time to give someone else a chance,"well, that's not a good thing. When your team goes out in the draft and takes the top-rated player at your position, it may be time to start hitting the classified ads. And, when, with all the media around you, you are picked off three times in eleven throws in OTAs, you're going to find yourself in trouble.

Athletes and the Law: Preferable Treatment or Justice Served?
The advent of athletes running into troubled times with the law is by no means a new occurrence. From the contemporary case of OJ Simpson to the infamous 1919 Black Sox game throwing fiasco, the sporting world is no stranger to controversy. In the last decade we have seen athletes offer some great contributions to society but subsequently have also seen more than a fair share fall from their pedestals and be charged with a variety of crimes.

The Dwight Freeney Story
It had to happen. The San Diego Chargers saw outside linebacker Melvin Ingram tear his left ACL in OTAs, and be set to miss essentially the entire 2013 season. Now, this isn't the biggest blow in history, as he only scored one sack in his entire rookie season, but Ingram is a good player with a bunch of athleticism to spare, so his loss is going to hurt. Making it worse was the player behind him – Larry English, the 2009 draft bust, was penciled in as the backup after Shaun Phillips left for Denver. The Chargers had no depth, so they had to make a move.
Welcome to The Best Football Blog! Here on TheBestFootballBlog.com you will find content on all the major issues from the gridiron: past, present, and future. It's all and all here; everything you ever wanted to know, think about, and discuss about all the major issues and questions in the football world.
We created The Best Football Blog because, despite all the sports sites that are out there, we thought there was a major void left to fill. While ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and others provide complete instant football coverage (and occasionally even engaging commentary) there isn't another site out there on the net that was dedicated to providing detailed, informative, and substantive discussions about the biggest issues in the football world. It's easy to find out if a player gets traded and possible to find some decent commentary on the immediate effects, but we couldn't find a site dedicated to providing sports fans with detailing analysis of the deeper reasons behind current events and their medium and long term consequences. That is the void that we want this site to fill.
The point of The Best Football Blog is to bring you engaging, thought provoking, and completely unique content on the biggest happenings, issues, and problems in football. We want to go beyond the basic coverage of events and, as the site and community continues to grow, use high level analysis to delve ever deeper into the events across the football world. From the NFL, to NCAA College Football, to high school, we want to get you the best analysis of the major events so that you are never left wondering “why” again. That “why” question is the one that often goes unanswered by the current behemoths in sports coverage so it is that question-along with deep comparisons, what ifs, and more-that we this site to answer. We hope that The Best Football Blog will become your place to look for the answers to those questions and that you will come an integral part of our close knit site community.
As you might have guessed, we are not worried about breaking the news first; it's the advanced analysis of the events behind, and consequences of, that news that we are concerned with. As a result, you will notice that most of our content-even older articles-is not past due and out of touch. That's because our analysis is about looking at the big picture, taking on the questions that routine commentators leave alone, and analyzing issues from a viewpoint that is different from all the Talking Heads out there. We are about providing our readers with unique, unvarnished, long term analysis and that is what makes The Best Football Blog different from any other site on the internet. We are very proud of that so please take a look and we are sure you will see the benefits of this new approach.
The Best Football Blog is also about building a new online sports community for engaged football fans who want two things: to read the best analysis out there and have an outlet to contribute their own criticism, thoughts, and ideas. As you will notice, we always solicit your thoughts and comments in our articles and have comment boxes featured prominently on every page. There's a reason for that: we don't just want this to be a normal sports site that you visit, read, and leave; we want it to be a community of sports fans sharing their ideas. We started out as sports fans just like you; normal fans who wanted to read intelligent detailed analysis and express our own ideas at the same time. That's why we created The Best Football Blog: we want to create a web-based sports community where everyone reads our thoughts, contributes their own, and together we reach a consensus (or happily debate forever) on the biggest questions and issues in the football world today.
As a final note, we encourage you to join our subscription newsletter. You will find it on the top right hand corner of this homepage. The newsletter will be used to provide members of the Best Football Blog community with article updates, special content and analysis that is exclusive to our newsletter subscribers, and occasionally notices of great new products and services, like online poker 888, that we think you might like. William Hill is another site where you can experience thrill and fun by making bets online. In any event, we encourage you to sign up for the newsletter as your first step in joining this special new online community and becoming part of something new and unique in the sports world.
Thank You,
Paul and Mo
