Teams to Share New Stadium

The New York Giants and New York Jets have agreed to build a new stadium in Meadowlands. It is likely to cost over $800 million to build and will seat more than 80,000 spectators. It could be ready for the 2009 season.

Gruesome Threesome...

"Three-receiver" fever is burning its way across the NFL. Teams are looking for tall big-play receivers in move to stretch the field and find open lanes for passing. This trend goes back to the days of the "passing crazy" American Football League, only with 'stunt-driven' receivers.

"The league is right back to the AFL of the '60s," says Matt Millen of the Detroit Lions, whose team is built around the idea of three receivers. "We are throwing the ball more in a wide-open game.

Patriots v Raiders - Rivalry Intense

Defending champs New England host the Oakland Raiders tonight - no love is lost between the two. Oakland are the only AFC team, other than the Patriots, to make it to the Super Bowl in the last 4 years. The rivalry goes back to the 1960s, when they were two of the eight original AFL franchises.

The Raiders still feel they won the "tuck rule" game in 2002. The Pats went on to win their first Super Bowl that year...

The two teams may have only met 3 times since 1994 but the intensity is still there because of their past.

Rice Ready to Relax..

Jerry Rice is unlikely to get the chance to sign a one-day contract and retire with the San Francisco 49ers - not in the coming season at any rate. Rice is the NFL's touchdown leader and announced his intention to retire after twenty seasons. He spent his first sixteen with San Fransisco winning three Super Bowl rings.
Rice also told reporters that retiring with the 49ers was his next step.

But Rice waited to make his retirement decision until after final NFL roster cutdowns - the 49ers would have to release a player from their 53-man roster to sign Rice to a one-day contract — a ceremonial gesture made to several players in recent years.

Petitioning the NFL may be an option.
