Heading into Week 3 of the 2009 NFL season, the NFL power rankings are really starting to take shape. The teams at the head of the class are obvious and the true Super Bowl contenders are beginning to separate. Here’s a look at the best of the best in this edition of the NFL power rankings before Week 3:
1. New York Giants
If the defense can remain healthy, Eli Manning seems to have found enough offensive weapons to keep the Giants dangerous on both sides of the field.
2. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens were doubted a bit coming into the season but they …read more

Jeremy Newberry, who signed with the Atlanta Falcons about five weeks ago, has been forced to retire after sustaining a serious knee injury — according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The 33-year-old offensive lineman wasn’t expected to start but he was signed to provide depth.
Newberry played for the San Francisco 49ers from 1998 to 2006. In 2007, he joined the Oakland Raiders and started 14 games. Last season, he appeared in all 16 games for the San Diego Chargers. He started three of those contests — the last three games of the 2008 NFL season.
In his decade in the league, Newberry …read more

Warrick Dunn is currently a free agent and it appears as if he’s not ready to call it a career. One team that makes sense as a destination for Dunn is the Philadelphia Eagles.
Brian Westbrook is Philadelphia’s starter at running back but he’s had a couple of offseason surgeries and there’s no guarantee that he’ll be 100% for the season opener. Westbrook is a great running back however he will always be injury-prone.
Backing up Westbrook is LeSean McCoy. He’s a rookie who seems to have a bright future but if Westbrook’s status is in doubt, the Eagles will want more …read more

Apparently, Michael Vick already has his next stop in mind. It seems the newly formed United Football League will be welcoming the convicted quarterback when he is released.
Vick will be unable to play in the NFL right away (at least it’s assumed), so this could be a spot for him to show what he still has left for many owners around the league. However, if he’s out of shape and lost a step, he could just be playing football for the last time.
We have plenty of time to wait to see this unfold, since Vick will not be …read more

With Football season right around the corner, we here at Dejuiced! have decided to take a look at the coaches in the NFL and college football to see how well the fans approve of them. Today we look at Bobby Petrino.
There’s no denying that two of the most talked about college football coaches in the nation this off season have been Rich Rodriguez and Bobby Petrino. Both have new jobs and left their previous jobs under much scrutiny. Petrino bolted from the Atlanta Falcons before the season was complete and was introduced at a press conference in Fayetteville, …read more

Asking for a raise was never this interesting. (Ok, except on the Office.)
- The Steelers lock up Ben Roethlisberger for 8 years, $102 million extension. Now only the Pittsburgh equipment manager will ever have to deal with his unwieldy last name.
- The Atlanta Falcons release Warrick Dunn after signing Michael Turner. This should fix everything. (Also, I’d like to note, I think Michael Turner was the third most important running back on the Chargers last year.)
- Randy Moss resigns with the Patriots for two years of dicking around and a third year of being unstoppable.
- Tampa Bay continues to …read more
