Week 17 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

When the Patriots drafted Mayo tenth overall in the 2008 NFL Draft, this is the Jerod Mayo they envisioned -- a defensive leader who'd provide a strong tackling presence to complement NT Vince Wilfork in the middle of the 3-4 . Typically, the biggest weakness of the 3-4 is its vulnerability to gouging runs up the middle,...

Week 16 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

Once again, Patriots RILB Jerod Mayo racked up a huge tackle total. He posted a game-high 16 tackles (10 solos) in the exciting victory over the Packers, and still leads the NFL with 164 tackles through just 14 games. While Mayo has just one sack, three PD and two fumble recoveries on the season, he's a constant, reliable...

Week 14 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

Just 12 games into the 2010 season, Stephen Tulloch has already eclipsed his 2009 tackle total. While there are a few reasons for this, but the simplest explanation is that the Titans' offense stinks, and Tulloch – who's now a part of the nickel package as well – is on the field for more plays.

Week 13 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

Just about all of the linebackers in Sunday night's Steelers-Ravens tilt get my vote of confidence this week. After all, this grudge match will feature several of the best in the league, and these combatants almost always step up in big contests. Neither team yields especially favorable numbers to opposing linebackers,...

Week 12 IDP Rankings: Linebackers

While last year's Defensive Rookie of the Year forced a fumble against the Jets and is getting to the QB, he seems a step slower than his rookie year and is being used...

05/21/12 WWE's Worst Person of the Week: Big Show Source: Bleacher Report Not many heels did anything all that terrible this week, so it was tough to find the WWE's "Worst Person of the Week." So, I decided to go with someone who at least started the week off as a baby face: The Big Show. On last week's episode of Monday Night Raw, we were forced to sit through the longest, most boring, ridiculous segment in recent WWE history when Big Show cried for 10 minutes as he pleaded for John Laurinaitis not to fire him.

05/19/12 WWE over the Limit: Predicting Each Match Source: Bleacher Report Serious repercussions will be handed out to those who don't conform; just ask The Big Show. But John Cena hasn't been willing to give into that, defying Laurinaitis and even making fun of his voice on Monday night one more timeâthe same thing Big Show got fired for.
