6/30/25 | Top 50 Cal Pros: No. 23 -- Nnamdi Asomugha, Hot Corner on Defense. Why we ranked him here: Taken with the 31st pick in the first round of the 2003 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders, Asomugha was immediately plugged in at cornerback. Asomugha was a three-time Pro Bowl pick, a first-team AP All-Pro in 2008 and 2010, and a second-team choice in 2006 and 2009. Source: https://www.si.com/college/cal/best-of/top-50-cal-... |
6/14/25 | The Top 100 Plays of the First Quarter of the Century: 91-95. Setting the stage: Long before there was Odell Beckham Jr., there was Oronde Gadsden. Unfortunately, his ridiculous one-handed catch against the Oakland Raiders in the 2000 playoffs was a small consolation on an otherwise dreary day for the Dolphins, who sustained a 27-0 loss one week after their thrilling 23-17 overtime victory against the Indianapolis Colts. It already was a 27-0 score when Gadsden made his remarkable play, which he almost topped with another incredible one-handed catch over the middle against the New York Jets in 2002. The play: Two series after Oakland made it 27-0, the Dolphins faced a second-and-17 from their own 28 after Jay Fiedler was sacked for a 7-yard loss.

5/15/25 | Buccaneers legend to be placed in Bucs Ring of Honor. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the early 2000s are rightfully recognized as one of the greatest defenses in NFL history. Monte Kiffin's group was absolutely loaded with talent at all levels, and they proved to be an unstoppable force as they dominated their competition before eventually eviscerating the Oakland Raiders by a score of 48-21 in Super Bowl 37. It was the first Super Bowl victory for the Tampa Bay Buccanees and their fans. The majority of defensive players from that championship team have since received their due respect, including Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp, John Lynch and Ronde Barber, each of whom has not only been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but the Bucs' Ring of Honor as well.
