Drew Brees

Just how important is Drew Brees to the Saints?

There is no doubt the New Orleans Saints are dependent on quarterback Drew Brees but just how much are they? Are the Saints like the Colts? Are they basically a one-man team? I realize that in even considering this, it’s tremendously insulting to the many other professionals within the Saints’ organization to speculate that their efforts are potentially marginally impactful and, instead, the fate of the team rests mostly on the performance of one elite player. It’s disconcerting to say the least.

TPF’s hottie of the week: VH1′s Basketball Wives

Odds are you don’t spend your time watching VH1′s Basketball Wives which in now entering its fifth season, but we must pay attention to the serious amount of hotties that are on these shows. Gloria Govan, Evelyn Lozada, Jennifer Williams, Suzie Ketcham, Tami Roman…just to name a few.

The reality television series follows the lives of a group of women who have all been somehow romantically linked to professional basketball players.

Maybe it’s all the balls these women have played with over the years, but they have no problem posing nude for the camera.

Courtney Upshaw

Rookie Upshaw must produce for Ravens without Suggs

When the Baltimore Ravens drafted Courtney Upshaw in the second round no one expected the team to rely on him the way they now do. After an unfortunate injury to Terrell Suggs the pressure is now on Upshaw to produce says NFL columnist Clark Judge

Brandon Moore is a graduate of Full Sail University with an Associates of Science degree in Graphic Design. He specializes in logo design and branding.

Steve Smith

Cam Newton resurrected the career of Steve Smith

When the Carolina Panthers drafted quarterback Cam Newton in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft wide receiver Steve Smith must have been at least a tad bit worried. Smith, a Panther since he was drafted in the third round, has seen 11 different quarterbacks since his rookie year in 2001.

In his 11 NFL seasons he has had his ups and downs with the organization, but coming off his worst year statistically in 2010 and the uncertainty of what he was going to get with Cam Newton, there were not many that thought Smith would accomplish the season he did.

In 2011 Steve Smith did the following;

Cam Newton

Cam Newton: Player profile

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton still has his number of haters and those that doubt him, but his play during his rookie season left many of those naysayers with their mouth closed.

The former first round pick of the 2011 NFL Draft broke a number of records including the record for most passing yards in a debut and most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.

The Panthers knew since week 16 of the 2010 NFL season that they would be able to select Cam Newton with the first pick of the 2011 NFL Draft, but no one thought we would see the type of performance he put up in the 2011 season.

Newton finished the season passing for 4,051 yards, 21 touchdowns through the air and 14 on the ground.

Buffalo Bills Comeback

NFL rewind: Bills greatest comeback ever

I can tell you a story, but you may find it hard to “Bill-ieve.” The Buffalo Bills two-time defending AFC Champions, opened up the playoffs at home and down by 32 points. They somehow managed a way to come back and win.C:\Users\GBBONG~1\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtmlclip1\01\clip image001 NFL rewind: Bills greatest comeback ever

Jordan Sandoval (7)

TPF’s hottie of the week: Jordan Sandoval

Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow is a quote our hottie Jordan Sandoval lives by.

Born in Portland, Oregon she was home schooled most of her life which enabled her to become involved in music, acting, art and sports.

Beauty comes easy to Jordan but she knows it takes hard work to get where she wants to be in life.  She often works over 70 hours a week, including being an insurance agent by day and a bartender/cocktail waitress by night.

No matter how hard she works she always finds time to do the things she loves such as; camping, river rafting, modeling, painting and going to the gym.

Jordan began modeling three years ago and fell in love with being in front of the camera.  It’s obvious to us the camera loves her as well. 

Ryan Tannehill

Miami Dolphins select Ryan Tannehill, the punter

Everyone knew it was coming as the Miami Dolphins selected Ryan Tennehill with the eighth overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. The next question becomes now what because Tannehill isn’t ready to start in the NFL.

Maybe while Tannehill sits behind current starter Matt Moore he can handling the punting duties since he has done that before.

In fact, Tannehill was a punter, wide receiver and also a quarterback. Just the type of guy you want to make your franchise player.

Was it worth it for the Dolphins to reach this far when Matt Moore will still be the starter in Week 1?
