2009 New York Jets Season Preview
Last year for the Jets was all about Brett Favre. Like ESPN, they were "All Brett, All-the-Time". They traded a draft pick for his service for one year and now he's back out the door.

2009 Oakland Raiders Season Preview
The 2008 version of the Oakland Raiders was a lot like the previous few years of the Oakland Raiders: dysfunctional, terrible, and a laughingstock.

From there, it only got worse. ... read more
