  • RSP Football Writers Project: July 23rd

    With the NFL Draft over and mini camps underway, we’re getting close to that time of year where football writers can take a breather. That’s my rationale for delaying the RSP Writers Project a few months (if you’re new around here, I’m re-posting the original description of the project below). It’s a nice way of…

  • Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Prince, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and the Difficulty of Comparisons

    Russell Wilson to Compete for Seahawks Starting Gig Now Apparently, I was wrong about Russell Wilson. I thought he’d compete for the starting job next year – not right now.

  • Good News on a Bad Football Day: RSP Add-on to be Ready on Friday

      Bad Football Day I’m a year younger than Junior Seau, whose body was discovered yesterday after an apparent suicide. We’ll clearly learn more about his mental-emotional state in the coming days, weeks, and months, but I can tell you right now that his death is likely one more example why college and pro football…
