The Santa Rosa Press Democrat just posted my Tuesday column -- it feels good to be writing columns again, although I loved my vacation in Mexico. In the column, I present the argument that Aaron Rodgers is currently the best quarterback practicing his craft in the National Football League. I [...]
For my Monday column I picked the team I think will win next Sunday's Super Bowl. I believe the game comes down to a simple equation -- Aaron Rodgers vs. the Steelers' defense. I also think it will be a hard-fought, physical game and I think it will be an [...]
Do you care about the labor unrest in the NFL? Of course, you care if there is no season in 2011. But that's not what I'm asking. Do you read about the issues -- revenue sharing, possible 18 game season, etc. -- with the same passion you read about games [...]
Here is my Tuesday column on the big Jay Cutler controversy, on why Cutler got an unfair rap as a wuss by players and fans when he didn't play most of the second half on Sunday. I also take a shot at Deion Sanders who took a shot at Cutler. [...]
Sorry I haven't posted much today. I have been booking my trip to spring training and it takes time. I love spring training. In fact, Marty Lurie phoned while I was booking the trip. He's at a Giants fantasy camp in Scottsdale and he called to say hello and to [...]

Hello Neal, DennyPat, Stan, the whole bunch. This is Grant, the little Cohn. Thanks for having me back. I miss the Cohn Zohn, you guys have such intellectual discussions here so in addition to my contributions to CSNBayArea -- they pay me -- I'll post sometimes on the Zohn -- [...]
Terrific game between the Steelers and Ravens. Sure, it wasn't a classic offensive effort but it was a great defensive game, both teams fighting for every inch of turf. This is a basic form of football and it's wonderful to see when it's played right. I believe this is what [...]
There are eight quarterbacks remaining in the NFL playoffs, eight elite QBs. If you were a general manager and had to choose one of them to win one game for you, which would it be -- Tom Brady, Mark Sanchez, Matt Hasselbeck, somebody else? My son Grant wrote a piece [...]
