Cabache's Corner

Hello! And welcome to my corner! All 32 of the leagues owners convened in San Francisco this past week for their annual spring meeting. Robert Kraft made a statement regarding the Patriots actions towards the Ted Wells report, he finally announced that the Patriots would not appeal their punishments, thus allowing the owners to focus on rule changes for this upcoming season. At the top of the itinerary was changes to the extra point. For a few years, now, the NFL has been thinking up ways to change/get rid of the extra point. Finally, they have. The owners voted 30-2 in favour of the rule change. But is it a good thing? The extra point has always been from the 2-yard line making a 1-point conversion a 17-yard kick, which was converted 99.5% of the time. It's the point at which viewers stop watching to refill their drinks, get another bag of crisps or check their fantasy matchup. The new rule makes the 1-point attempt a 32-yard field goal, which has a league conversion rate ...

Hello! And welcome to my corner. Though the draft is coming up, there is very little significant news to report. The only stories floating about are rumors, so how about something more interesting?  Everyone loves a ranking, it's an opportunity to really show an opinion and they're a great way to start a discussions, so, without further ado, here is my 32-team uniform ranking: The 'Christian Ponder's' Uniforms: 32. New York Jets 31. Tennessee Titans These uniforms are about as good as Ponder is as a QB. I really don't like these uniforms. The Jets use the worst shad of green (fluorescent green would be an upgrade) and the design is boring. Nothing makes up for the colour. They also have very little room for mixing and matching. My problem with the Titans is that I don't like the combination of colours. I really don't like the light blue with dark blue look. If they stuck with the Houston Oilers uniforms they wouldn't find them...

Hello! And welcome to my corner. Day 2 is over as we eagerly await the beginning of the 3rd and final day of the 2015 NFL Draft. The 2nd and 3rd rounds featured a lot more trades, players sliding, big shocks and some great value picks. Here are some of the biggest stories from day 2. To see every pick, click here. The Titans are building quite an offense. At the top of the 2nd round they drafted Dorial Green-Beckham of Missouri/Oklahoma. This gives Mariota (or possibly Mettenberger) an absolutely HUGE target to develop with, some people have even compared him to Megatron purely due to his size. However, he is very raw and there are a bunch of red flags next to his name for off the field issues that the Titans must keep in check. The Giants also got a big time player. In a trade with the Titans, they picked SS Landon Collins out of Alabama. Collins is a player that will be able to step up immediately, and the Giants need him to, they don't have enough safety's to...
