Age Is No Opponent For NFL's Veteran Stars
In the time-warped world of professional sports, any age past 30 opens conversations about players being past their prime. If you get to 35, then geriatric jokes start flying.

In the time-warped world of professional sports, any age past 30 opens conversations about players being past their prime. If you get to 35, then geriatric jokes start flying.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett insists the team has yet to finalize its plans for Tony Romo playing time in Saturday's 'dress-rehearsal' preseason game in Miami
Let's take a look at who the five worst teams will be heading into the 2014 NFL season.
The Cowboys defense took a step towards taking shape on Tuesday morning as projected opening-day starting cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne were both in pads.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is frustrated in the league's apparent increase in calling penalties. Jerry Jones blames Carroll -- at least in part.
In order to ensure the safety of college football fans this season, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas will be implementing the same bag policy now used at NFL stadiums across the nation.
With the 2014 NFL season just weeks away, it's time to roll out my series of NFL Preview pieces. First up: Which rookies will make an impact in the AFC?
CBS lead analyst Phil Simms, who will handle Washington's game in Week 4, said Monday that he likely won't use the term "Redskins" when discussing the franchise.
If the Browns pick a quarterback based solely on numbers, there is not much that either Johnny Manziel or Brian Hoyer did on Monday night to show who deserves the job.
Even though he will be 38 in October and well past his prime, safety Charles Woodson has the ability to lead the Raiders defense to a level that the team hasn't seen in a while.
The Dallas defense is still missing starters halfway through the preseason and will lose cornerback Orlando Scandrick for the first four games of the regular season.
It's been a long-time since the New England Patriots had a shutdown cornerback on their roster, and they finally have one in former New York Jets star Darrelle Revis.
Jeremy Maclin is not going to have to be Jerry Rice or Terrell Owens. He merely needs to be a receiver for Nick Foles, while the tight ends help chip in the rest of the production in the passing game.
He's not a coach, a referee or a drug tester. He has never played or coached a game. Still, NFL players -- and millions of football fans -- can't wait to see what he has to say.
The Cowboys' problems on defense are not evaporating. But the potential problem that is Tony Romo and his healing back -- alleviated following Saturday's 37-30 preseason loss to the Ravens.
Romo passed the first test with his surgically repaired back, and Baltimore's defense and special teams made three more scoring drives from Joe Flacco an afterthought.
Tony Romo's only incompletion of the night may just have been the most encouraging play in the Cowboys preseason home opener against the Ravens.
The Carolina Panthers cut the face of the franchise, Steve Smith, and let the only other three wide receivers on the roster that caught a pass last season leave as free agents. Tight end Greg Olsen is the only proven receiver returning from last season's squad. Olsen should be Cam Newton's favorite target this season.
Tony Romo hasn't taken a snap in a game since he played through a back injury to lead a drive that kept Dallas in playoff contention late last season.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones labels Romo's limited work following back surgery -- and his union with new playcaller Scott Linehan -- the most exciting part of the team's three weeks in California.
So it is with my jaded view of the world that I address the Ben Roethlisberger - Emmanuel Sanders feud. Sanders said that his new quarterback, Peyton Manning, is a much better leader than his old quarterback, Big Ben. And thus the verbal jousting began, feathers flexed, talons out.
In-season roster management is key to winning your fantasy football league, but the draft goes a long way towards determining the champ. Value is the most important word when it comes to the draft. Here are a few tips to stay a few moves ahead of your competitors.
The Cowboys are coming home from camp in California with even more questions about the league's most porous defense than when they left Texas three weeks ago.
Hobbled by injuries, the Indianapolis Colts hope (wide receiver) Hakeem Nicks can contribute with the type of production that catapulted the New York Giants to a Super Bowl championship in 2012.
Let's take a look at exactly why Johnny Manziel needs to start in week 1 for the Cleveland Browns.
