There will be a hearing in a federal court in Minneapolis this morning where attorneys for NFL players are expected to ask for an injunction that will stop the lockout on March 12.
The players argument is that the owners are violating America's antitrust laws. The response from the owners is ecxpected to be that the players are violating the labor laws of America.
A U.S. District Court Judge will determine the winner of the case that will undoubtably raise multiple legal questions affecting the upcoming NFL season.
Madden Cover
The voting for the next Madden cover is down to the final eight players. The remaining four pairings are:
Aaron Rodgers (GB) vs. Danny Woodhead (NE)
Peyton Hillis (CLE) vs. Jamaal Charles (KC)
Drew Breese (NO) vs. Adrian Peterson (MIN) Mike Vick (PHI) vs. Patrick Willis (SF).
The favorite to win it all has to be the number one seed, Aaron Rodgers.
As always, the "Madden Curse" will be talked about for whomever gets to be on the cover. For those fans of Detroit, Chicago, and Minnesota, having Aaron Rodgers on the cover might not be a bad thing.
To vote for your favorite to make the Madden cover, go to ESPN.com, keyword "Madden Cover".
Top Coaches
 |

ESPN.com has ranked the Top 10 coaches in the NFL.
On top of the list is the Patriots Bill Belichick. This isn't much of a surprise considering what the man has accomplished with the Patriots.
Next on the list is Mike Tomlin of the Steelers. Again, this isn't much of a surprise. Since taking over for Bill Cower, Tomlin has done nothing but win, including a Super Bowl.
Rounding out the top three is Andy Reid of the Eagles. This choice comes as more of a surprise than the top two, but I can understand why he is ranked so high. Since taking over in Philadelphia, Reid has accumulated a .617 winning percentage, has won six NFC East Titles, and has led his team to multiple NFC Championships and a Super Bowl.
The rest of the top ten includes:
4. Mike McCarthy, Green Bay Packers
5. Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints
6. Tom Coughlin, New York Giants
7. Rex Ryan, New York Jets
8. Lovie Smith, Chicago Bears
9. Mike Smith, Atlanta Falcons
10. Mike Shanahan, Washington Redskins
10. John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens
I do agree with most of these, I might have switched a few around though. Jim Caldwell is one guy who could very easily be on this list as well.
