I love how all the non-football players in this peice are ranting about Hester as NFL Films’ No.1 return ace of all time, but the former players all see the truth before the stats proved it. Thanks. Thank you for reading. Thank you for subscribing. And thank you for recommending this blog to friends. Most…

Penn State Scandal Updates
I think we’ve really lost in this country—and maybe in many countries—a certain value of leadership. The idea that power can be wielded for the common good is kind of up for grabs these days, because there are so many competing commercial interests on governance as we know it. – Investigative reporter Jason Berry on…

Best Offensive Play of the Year
Aaron Rodgers is amazing. His back shoulder throws and guided-missile burners through three levels of defenders in the middle of the field can leave you speechless. But for my money, there’s nothing better than the elemental force of a running back winning a battle with a linebacker. Especially when that linebacker is perhaps the greatest…

Scouting Abuse
I’m sick of hearing about the Penn State scandal. You should be, too. What we’ve learned is vile. I promise you that I’m not writing a piece that begins with “we need to pray for these kids,” and move onto talking about Sandusky, Spanier, Paterno, McQueary, or Penn State students. They aren’t worth the time…

The RSP Blog’s Top QBs (2006-2011)
Ranking players is perhaps the least important part of the analysis I do when I create the Rookie Scouting Portfolio. It’s the conversation starter. The attention-getter. The marketing schtick. It’s the three-sentence summation of a complex subject that you need to learn to give at a cocktail party or you come across as David Fincher’s…
