| 03/03/2001 2001 NFL Combine report: No perfect QB
If productive legs are the priority, draft Michael Vick of Virginia Tech. If a productive arm is the priority, draft Drew Brees of Purdue. If heart is the priority, take Josh Heupel of Oklahoma. 02/25/2001 Gosselin: Combine not end-all
Linebacker Derek Smith was a brick wall in the middle of a top-five NFL defense last season, posting a team runner-up 24 tackles for the Washington Redskins. 02/18/2001 Gosselin: Levy could still coach, but cap doesn't fit him
Marv Levy is 75 and headed for the Hall of Fame. But given his choice, he'd rather be heading off to another NFL training camp this summer. Levy retired after the 1997 season, but the losing didn't get to him. The salary cap did. 02/14/2001 Small investment nets superb returns for Dolphins
The best offense and defense in the NFL are easily identifiable. But not so the best special teams. With essentially a cast of free agents and castoffs, the Dolphins finished atop the NFL special teams rankings compiled annually by The Dallas Morning News. 02/11/2001 Gosselin: Gouveia's passion for football rekindled in XFL
Accomplished NFLers like Kurt Gouveia, Alvin Harper and Rashaan Salaam give the XFL credibility – and the XFL returns the favor. The spring league gives them a chance to continue careers that appeared to be at an end. 02/05/2001 Rating shows XFL debut is a hit
NEW YORK – The XFL and NBC must be X-cited about the TV rating for the fledgling football league's debut broadcast. 02/04/2001 Gosselin: For openers, XFL selling spectacle
The XFL isn't about football. Not yet, anyway. It's about the NBC television network, the World Wrestling Federation and a perceived public hunger for more football. The common bond for all three is the entertainment dollar.
