I really don't spend enough time pointing out the fabulous work being done by the other football bloggers here at sports Blogs Nation. I should do that regularly, and today I will begin attempting to do just that.

So, let's go Touring the Nation.

• Bolts From The Blue compares Philip Rivers first three seasons to Brett Favre
  BFTB: "At this point in their careers, these two quarterbacks are similar. They each started strong, took a step back and exploded in their third seasons. I haven't found anyone else that could match that pattern, with this much improvement in their third season as a starting QB. So, could Favre's seasons following his third be a identifier of what to expect from Philip Rivers in the next few years? We should all hope so."
  
  My take: I'm not buying the comparison until Rivers starts winning championships.

• Mile High Report polls its readers about Brandon Marshall
  More Denver fans want Marshall to remain with the team than you might think.

• Donovan blogs about "Camp McNabb" in Arizona - Bleeding Green Nation
  Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb hosted members of the Eagles, Packers, Jets, & Cardinals at his yearly camp in Arizona.
  
  My take: Hey, Eli, this sounds like a really good idea.

• Food Critique of Washington Redskins' Chris Cooley's Sandwich - Hogs Haven
  HH: "Chris Cooley invented his own sandwich (Peanut Butter/Ham/Mustard), which he mentioned on ESPN .. .I made 3 and took them to a DC bar for a random taste test. When I ate this sandwich, my mouth went dry faster than a ferret eating 13 cotton balls. Yes, that makes no sense, but a sandwich with peanut butter needs SOMETHING with moisture."
  
  My take: Cooley's a great player, and a lot of fun as a blogger. As a chef, though, he apparently doesn't cut the mustard.

• My take: I guess with Jake Delhomme at the helm it's probably not surprising Panthers' fans have a healthy amount of interest in Vick.

• Ronde Barber Still Silent - Buc 'Em
  Buc  'Em: "Earlier this off-season, Ronde Barber made it known that he was boycotting the media, due to their criticism of his play last year. He had/has no intentions of granting interviews or giving sound bites and is planning on "letting his play speak for itself".

  My take: A Barber who won't talk to the media? Tiki's TV career is in the toilet. Maybe Ronde will do an interview with his brother to help him out.

• 2009 San Francisco 49ers: Best Case Scenario - Niners Nation
  A look at the best case scenario for the 49ers in 2009.
  
  My take: Niners Nation came up with 11-5 best-case for their team. That's not happening.
  
• CSR Fan Poll: Michael Vick to Carolina? - Cat Scratch Reader

  A Carolina Panther fan poll gauging fan interest in the Panthers signing QB Michael Vick.

• NFL Scout on Bills' O-Line: "HORRIBLE" - Buffalo Rumblings
  An NFL scout called the Buffalo Bills' re-tooled offensive line "HORRIBLE." Buffalo Rumblings doesn't necessarily blame him.
  
  My take: Hmmm ... and Jason Peters is now playing for the Eagles. T.O. won't be catching many balls with Trent Edwards flat on his back.
