There would be no bigger upgrade for the Dallas Cowboys in their effort to be the best team in the NFC East than to sign now free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress. Besides shooting himself in the leg, which is the dumbest thing I have ever heard a pro athlete do, Burress is a primetime receiver and could help the Cowboys become an elite team.

Not that the Cowboys aren't an elite team without Burress, but without Terrell Owens in Dallas anymore the offense will suffer. They do have Roy Williams, but he didn't exactly have a great season with TO helping take the coverage away from him.

Bottom line, if the Cowboys signed Burress it would be a big blow to the New York Giants and improve already good offense. He is a must sign in my opinion.

Another twist into the Plaxico Burress saga as it is now being said that the wide receiver for the New York Giants might in fact serve jail time for his gun charge that started all the chaos for the Giants last season.

A lot of people have been saying that since the Giants lost Burress due to all this mayhem they were never the same team and by the results of their title defense it seems pretty obvious that was the case. Without Burress for Manning to throw down field to the Giants offense lost it's potent punch which made them arguably the best team in the NFL for the majority of the season.

Who knows what will happen in Burress' case, but one thing for certain whatever does happen will definitely have an effect on the New York Giants and the rest of the NFL for that matter.

The Oakland Raiders may have missed out on the Terrell Owens sweepstakes, but they have just made a move to improve the offensive line by adding center Samson Satele through a trade with the Miami Dolphins.

Ironically the Raiders made the move to get Satele because their free agent center Jack Grove signed with the Miami Dolphins about three weeks ago. So in a way this was just a way to switch centers.

The Raiders gave up a draft choice to the get Satele. Miami will get a six round draft choice in return for their former center.Along with playing his natural position at center, Satele can also play at the left and right guard positions.

As if firing Mike Shanahan wasn't a big enough loss to the Denver Broncos now it looks like they will be trading their franchise quarterback as well.

Josh McDaniels first year as the head coach of the Denver Broncos couldn't have started out any rougher than it has. I am not saying that it isn't his fault because if there is anyone to blame it is McDaniels.

Although I believe the trade that McDaniels which would have brought Matt Cassel to Denver would have been an improvement over Cutler, McDaniels definitely didn't handle it the right way. As a result of McDaniels dropping the ball, Cutler has decided he is no longer appreciated in Denver and wants to be traded elsewhere.

At first I thought what a punk Cutler was for being so selfish, but after thinking about it he just had his first Pro Bowl season and lead his team to arguably the most promising season in Denver since John Elway retired there was no reason his should be even be considered to be traded.

One thing is for sure now in Denver, whatever happens it won't be good news in Denver.

As if it wasn't a big enough shock that Terrell Owens got the boot in Dallas an even bigger surprise was seeing the outspoken wide receiver ending up with the Buffalo Bills.

I don't think there is a team in the NFL less interesting or more unappealing for a superstar then the Buffalo Bills. Yes, the Bills do have Lee Evans, but he is by no means a Randy Moss, Ocho Cinco or TO.

Once TO was cut from the Cowboys the one place he looked like he was going to land was with the Oakland Raiders which seems to be the place superstars go when they are no longer wanted by the rest of the league.

Another possible team in the running for getting TO was the Baltimore Ravens who have never really had a superstar wide out. With Joe Flacco looking like a franchise quarterback the Ravens have started shopping for a go to receiver like TO, Marvin Harrison or Torry Holt.

Although both the Raiders and Ravens seemed like TO's next possible destinations, the Buffalo Bills came out of nowhere and signed the controversial wide receiver for $6.5 million for one year.

It is one hell of a risk to take on locker room poison in TO, but this move may have made the Bills into a contender in the AFC once again.

It is all speculation at this point, but Kurt Warner has arguably been the most desirable quarterback in the free agent market this off season after last season's Super Bowl run.

At first there were some teams that seemed destine to make a run at the Pro Bowler who were in desperate need of a franchise quarterback. There was Kansas City, but then they aquired Matt Cassel from the New England Patriots. Then there was the front runner in the Chicago Bears who have had their fair share of serious problems at quarterback since the late 80s, but they have even been mentioned in the talking of signing Warner.

Of course the Arizona Cardinals don't exactly want to hand the team back over to Mat Leinart just yet after Warner's amazing season, so they will be big players in trying to sign their quarterback, but there has been definitely been a question of money as Warner gets closer and closer to making a decision.

Another team in the NFL that is desperately trying to get back to dominant status at the quarterback position is the San Francisco 49ers who have always seemed to have a franchise quarterback in past years until Jeff Garcia left town and Alex Smith turned out to be a disappointment. There has been talk of the 49ers going after USC quarterback Mark Sanchez in the draft, but they will try their luck at Warner first.

Warner has given the Cardinals a way to sign him right now with an offer of $23 million over two years, but Arizona hasn't exactly jumped at the deal just yet. San Francisco on the other hand will ultimately be where Warner will land if the Cardinals decide not to pay Warner the money he wants.

It seems like the position with the most drama in the NFL nowadays is the wide receiver.

Almost every team in the league these days has an outspoken, loud mouth wideout that always seems to cause trouble on a weekly basis. The Cincinnati Bengals have Chad Johnson or Ocho Cinco who has been nothing, but trouble lately with trade requests and calling out his coach while being villified by teammates. Then a close second, maybe even worse than Ocho Cinco, is the Dallas Cowboys ego maniac Terrell Owens.

Coming into last season the Cowboys were the clear favorites to make it to the Super Bowl in the NFC as they looked seemed to look better than ever. The problem was there was just too much hype and not enough results on the field and the Dallas Cowboys miss the playoffs and had yet another disappointing season.

One of the reasons for their less than impressive season in 2008 was due to constant problems with TO who just loves to get his name in the papers.

As a result of TO's trouble making people have been talking about rumors that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will cut the Pro Bowl wide receiver. I say get rid of him, he only causing problems in the locker room and has no problem telling everyone why he isn't happy.

 Although at times during the Super Bowl it was obvious that Big Ben Roethlisberger was grimissing quite a bit, but since he never stayed on the sidelines no one really though much of it.

Apparently the pain he was feeling was due to some broken ribs which putting him right up there is the toughness category! Pretty incredible that he could stay playing in that game with an injury like that and then make that amazing throw to Santonio Holmes in the endzone to win the game. 

I always knew Big Ben was tough, I mean he is huge, the size of a linebacker or a tight end, but that takes some serious will power to keep playing after suffering an injury like that. Although I don't think that Brett Favre has played with broken ribs before, Big Ben has definitely taken a page from Favre's book with a historic win in the Super Bowl while being injured.

As long as the Pittsburgh Steelers have Big Ben behind center, the sky is the limit as for how many Super Bowls the Steelers can win over the next five years.

Well, the Pittsburgh Steelers were favored to win the biggest football game of the year, but I am sure they weren't expecting to win it by only four points 27-24 in the final seconds of the game.

The Steelers defense did come to play on Super Bowl Sunday, especially the Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison, but the Cardinals had a never say die attitude that almost pull off the unlikely upset. James Harrison was the game changer for the Steelers early on with his endzone interception return for touchdown, but the momentum didn't go their way for long as Kurt Warner connected with Larry Fitzgerald for a touchdown of their own.

The biggest play of the game that will go down in the history books was when Big Ben Roethlisberger charged his Steelers down the field with the best two minute drill in the team's history and connected with Santonio Holmes in the right corner of the endzone for one of the prettiest catches I have ever seen which resulted in the game winning touchdown.

Kurt Warner was magnificient in this game and arguably out played Big Ben, but the game winning touchdown to Santonio Holmes will be the only thing people will remember when it is all said and done.

Coming into this game I would have said there were better Super Bowl match ups that could have happened like the Philadelphia Eagles against the Steelers or the New York Giants taking on Mike Tomlin's crew, but after watching the game there was no better match up than these two teams going head to head.

It has been a wild ride for Kurt Warner and his underdog Arizona Cardinals all season long. They have beaten the odds over and over again proving everyone wrong with their high powered offense and their MVP caliber quarterback.

First it was the over the hill Kurt Warner taking over for the future of the franchise quarterback Matt Leinart. No one and I mean no one thought this was a good idea. Warner wasn't successful in front of Eli Manning in New York with the Giants and really hasn't done anything to brag about since leaving the St. Louis Rams, but somehow, someway Warner has turned the table and started playing like the MVP Warner of old.

Not only was Warner playing the way his has been a unexpected surprise for the lowly Cardinals, but he has also lead Arizona to a NFC West title and a spot in the playoffs. Once the Cards were playoff bound they were thought to be a fluke and the first team to get knocked out, but once again they proved all their doubters wrong and beat a much younger and talented Atlanta Falcons. The same thing happened against the Carolina Panthers a week later. The Cards came in as underdogs, but stucked to their guns and embarrassed the Panthers in their house.

Needless to say, this became a trend with Arizona in the playoffs all the way up to the Super Bowl where they will face the seven point favorite Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers on the other hand have the most dominant defense in the NFL lead by the Defensive Player of the Year linebacker James Harrison and AFC Championship hero Troy Polamalu.

As of right now the Steelers are seven point favorites over the Cardinals. In my opinion, this is about right because Vegas keeps getting burned by the Cards in the playoffs so seven points is an awesome spread for anyone taking the Steelers who could blowout the Cards on Super Bowl Sunday.

It is hard to bet against Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald with the way they are playing, but the Steelers defense is as good as it gets and could easily shut down the Cards offense and force turnovers. Unless Warner figures out a way to burn the Steelers D, which no team really has this season, then the seven points would be a smart bet!
