Want to talk about making an impact in the BIG TIME?

NC State’s Mario Williams was featured on the cover of ESPN’s Magazine 2008 NFL Preview Issue. That stands alone as [...]

Saturday, December 29, 2007
We have recently run some nice entries on Mario Williams.

We just talked about Philip Rivers’ great performance on Sunday, so it is only fair that we follow-up the entry with a little bit on Mario Williams, who forced a fumble and was involved on five tackles during the Texans first (EVER) win over the Indianapolis Colts. Williams has played solidly throughout the entire season. His [...]

Friday, November 10, 2006
Bill Simmons is probably one of SFN’s favorite writers. We are about the same age, grew up at the same time etc. His “13 Levels of Losing” is a MUST read for all NC State fans. That said, he jumped the gun on the Mario Williams/Reggie Bush debate like many of his friends in the media. In [...]

Tuesday, August 22, 2006
Just thought that we would proclaim to the world that Reggie Bush is ‘obviously’ going to be a bust based on his horrible performance vs the Cowboys last night. The guy did nothing in the meaningless preseason game. So, since Mario Williams ‘proved’ that he shouldn’t have been chosen by the Texans in the frst pick, [...]

Sunday, August 20, 2006
Mario had a better game last night against Tory Holt’s St. Louis Rams than in his first week of games. Richard Justice’s blog at the Houston Chronicle proclaimed: He lives!
