"I would like to, and I think they want me to, so we'll see," Holmgren said Thursday after the team's final practice of minicamp. It marked the first time Holmgren has said he would like to keep coaching despite being asked about it several times since the end of the 2005 season. "I'm feeling good about stuff," Holmgren said. It...

As we know, things didn't turn out too well for the Colts in the new year. Once more, the NFL champion will not be the team that appeared to be the best during the season, but the team that played the best when it had to do so -- and that team will be the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are headed for a storybook ending that will enable them to join the...

It wasn't just Seattle's potent offense doing the celebrating Sunday. The defense had something to say, too. "We're going to the Super Bowl, you know what I'm saying?" Seattle cornerback Andre Dyson said while hugging teammate Kelly Herndon on the field. The Seahawks advanced to the Super Bowl for first time in their 30-year history because of their overlooked defense. And specifically because of Dyson, Herndon and Seattle's supposedly iffy secondary,...

From the Qwest Field architects who foresaw the benefits of crowd noise to the college scouts who identified the muscle-car engine hidden inside undersized rookie linebacker Lofa Tatupu, the franchise's run to a 9-2 record has been a triumph of design. But one key move was made for them, and it received less groundswell support at the time than a motion to install former play-by-play announcer Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton in the Seahawks' Ring of Honor: On May 22, 2001, the NFL owners...

Anything more would be a bonus. But with five weeks left in the regular season, the Colts' arduous, three-decade quest to return to the Super Bowl now carries an added burden - trying to join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only unbeaten teams in NFL history. Forget that the Colts are already 11-0, could clinch the AFC South title in the next two weeks and may soon wrap up a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The big question now around Indy - and the NFL -...

"I'm one happy man right now," Price said Monday. "I can't tell you how much I appreciated my wife, Joyce, and my family's loyalty and love. Without their strength, encouragement and support I don't know if I would have made it." Price sued the magazine for $20 million, claiming he was defamed and slandered by a story detailing his actions the night he visited a topless bar in Pensacola, Fla., in...

Coach Mike Holmgren said that Jackson will remain in Florida -- where the surgery took place -- for another week and have one more examination before returning to Seattle to rehabilitate the injury. "I can't tell you how long it's going to be. The cartilage and scopes typically can be two weeks, guys come back in two weeks, sometimes it's longer," Holmgren said. "We just have to see how it is." Seattle's other starting receiver, Bobby Engram, was listed as out on the...

Wednesday, the NFL hit back. FOXSports.com has learned that the league has fined the All-Pro corner a whopping $30,000 for striking official Butch Hannah during a scuffle in Sunday's loss to the Jets. Barber, who has only been fined one time by the league in his NFL career, was hit with the staggering total as a result of a punch that Barber threw at Jets center Kevin Mawae, but which struck Hannah instead. After the game, Barber said his intention was not to strike the official, but to defend himself and swat Mawae's...

The deal is comparable to the one Todd Heap, another Pro Bowler, signed in Baltimore. Shockey will receive a new seven-year deal — essentially a five-year extension, as he had two years remaining on his rookie contract — worth $30.1 million. That includes $10.8 million in new money over the first three years of the deal and $11.9 million in total bonuses, with $10.5 million of that essentially guaranteed. In just over three seasons with the Giants, Shockey has caught 200 passes for 2,346... (more) http://superbowlnflfootball.blogdrive.com/comments?id=3
