Urlacher deserving of 54-gun salute
When Brian Urlacher held up that navy blue jersey for the first time on that April day in 2000, his face a little pimply and his scalp covered with closely cropped blond hair, no one had any idea what 54 would come to represent. After 13 seasons, it's...

Pompei's NFL power rankings
1. Texans (1 last week): By now Jim Schwartz should have received that fruit basket from Gary Kubiak. 2. Ravens (2): Converting a fourth-and-29 with the game on the line? Ray Lewis coming back soon? Terrell Suggs' miraculous recovery? Somebody up...Tags: Tennessee Titans, Seattle Seahawks, Football, Norv Turner, New York Giants

49ers' Brandon Jacobs goes from seldom seen to out of sight
In a roundabout way, Brandon Jacobs told the San Francisco 49ers how he really felt. And Monday, in a direct way, the 49ers told Jacobs to take a hike. The team suspended the disgruntled running back for the final three games of the regular season,...

NFL punters are being bullied on the block
Through the first half of the NFL season, there have been 14 punts blocked. That might not sound like a lot, but consider there were nine in the entire 2011 season, meaning the league is on track for more than three times as many. Sure, it could be a...Tags: Darren Bennett, Football, Sav Rocca, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFL's top teams doing well despite less help from key players
Plenty of NFL tight ends would be happy to switch places with San Francisco's Vernon Davis this season. The 49ers are 6-2 with a two-game lead in the NFC West and look to be in position to make another run deep into the playoffs or beyond. But this isn't...Tags: J.J.

NFL is full of quick-change artists
The New Orleans Saints are toast. The Arizona Cardinals have turned the corner. It's time for Norv Turner, Rex Ryan and Andy Reid to go. Some of those bold statements might hold up this NFL season, but some will sound absurd in a few months. It...Tags: Matt Leinart, Football, Norv Turner, New York Giants, Richard Seymour

Vegas says the Matchup at the Meadowlands will be 49ers vs. Broncos
