Black Crowes to Tour This Summer!

June 9th, 2009

Black Crowes TicketsBlack Crowes touring all over the USA this summer. [See Dates and Schedules]

At the time of their 1990 debut, the kind of rock & roll the Black Crowes specialize in was out of style. Only Guns N’ Roses came close to approximating a vintage Stones-style raunch, but they were too angry and jagged to pull it off completely.

The Black Crowes replicated that Stonesy swagger and Faces boogie perfectly. Vocalist Chris Robinson appropriated the sound and style of vintage Rod Stewart while guitarist Rich Robinson fused Keith Richards’ lean attack with Ron Wood’s messy rhythmic sense. At their best, the Black Crowes echo classic rock without slavishly imitating their influences.

No NFL teams decreased their ticket price for the 2009-10 season. But?

June 2nd, 2009

NFL Football TicketsThere is no doubt that the National Football League is the alpha dog of the major sports leagues. Fans seem to buy whatever they are selling, and the league is testing that theory as the average ticket price increased by 7.9 percent to $72.20, according to a recent study.

The New England Patriots spent the first 18 games of last season blowing every team they faced out of the water. This off-season they once again blew out the competition raising their tickets to $117.84, a whopping 29.6 percent increase over last season. They also became the first team with an average ticket price north of $100. Coming in second place in the race for highest prices was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who raised ticket prices 24.4 percent to $90.13.

Only eight teams decided not to increase their ticket prices with the lowest ticket price belonging to the Buffalo Bills who increased their price by 10.3 percent to $51.24. No teams decreased their ticket price for the 2010 season.

The NFL now joins Major League Baseball in seeing the average ticket price increase, as the baseball saw their tickets raise 10.1 percent in 2009.

In an economy that is watching food and gas prices skyrocket, people are being forced to dig deeper and deeper into their bank account. But as fans continue to line up for tickets, no matter the price, don’t expect prices for tickets to come down anytime soon.

One ticket source exception is TICKETFINDER.com which seems to have NFL tickets for sale at prices below face value for some dates at times. Take a look for yourself. [NFL TICKETS and SCHEDULES]

Dallas Cowboys

May 23rd, 2009

Dallas Cowboys 9-7, third in NFC East

The Cowboys let Terrell Owens go, and many think it will help in the long run. Roy Williams has to regain his form from a few years ago in Detroit, and Tony Romo has to take the next step in his development. For the first time in years, this team flew under the radar all offseason. Expectations are lower than usual, which should help the team perform better. The division is brutal, and they need to start fast or the panic button will go off quickly. [Tickets]

Detroit Lions

May 21st, 2009

Detroit Lions 0-16, fourth in NFC North

The Lions will not go 0-16. Hopefully, Detroit doesn’t play Matthew Stafford this season; he’s an underclassman on what has to be considered an expansion team. Coach Jim Schwartz will get bigger on defense, Daunte Culpepper will get a few wins and many of the rookies besides Stafford will gain a year of experience. [Tickets]

Kansas City Chiefs

May 21st, 2009

Kansas City Chiefs 2-14, fourth in AFC West

General manager Scott Pioli is not going to go for the quick fix, otherwise he would have never traded Tony Gonzalez. Pioli will build the defense the way he did in New England, and the offense will be conservative until all the pieces are in place. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

Oakland Raiders

May 21st, 2009

Oakland Raiders 5-11, third in AFC West

If JaMarcus Russell takes a big step in his development, this team will be much better than this spot. However, Russell has to prove it first. Oakland can run the ball, but Russell will need to come from behind in at least half of his games and that is an issue. The team might have a better record with Jeff Garcia under center, but that wouldn’t help the club in the long run. [Tickets]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

May 21st, 2009

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9-7, third in NFC South

There are many changes in Tampa, from the general manager to head coach to the starting quarterback and a new defense. The Buccaneers signed solid veterans in the offseason, but sooner or later rookie quarterback Josh Freeman will take the field. There is a learning curve that Freeman will have to go through before he can consistently win games. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

San Francisco 49ers

May 21st, 2009

San Francisco 49ers 7-9, second in NFC West

Coach Mike Singeltary could easily push this team to a much higher position. First-round pick Michael Crabtree fell right into the Niners’ lap, and he will help quarterback Shaun Hill. Look for the team to return to a 4-3 defense and compete week in and week out. Do the 49ers have enough depth to keep playing well as the season moves on? That is another question. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

Denver Broncos

May 21st, 2009

Denver Broncos 8-8, second in AFC West

It seems like overnight this franchise fell apart with the loss of long-time coach Mike Shanahan. The Broncos also let Jay Cutler go and many veteran players have moved on as well. The conversion of the defense into a 3-4 package will take two years to complete, which makes things tough on the offense. Time will tell if the players can move on from the departure of Cutler, and the pressure on young coach Josh McDaniels could be brutal if the fans and media turn on him. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

St. Louis Rams

May 21st, 2009

St. Louis Rams 2-14, fourth in NFC West

The Rams are doing the right things in the overhaul of the once-proud franchise that got itself into personnel problems in recent years. The defense will be aggressive, and the offense will run the ball. At the end of the season, Rams fans will feel like the arrow is pointing up. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

Cleveland Browns

May 21st, 2009

Cleveland Browns 4-12, fourth in AFC North

There could be a quarterback controversy between Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson developing, one of the key playmakers (Kellen Winslow) is gone and running back Jamal Lewis averaged fewer than four yards per carry last year. It will take new coach Eric Mangini more than one season to right this ship. [Tickets]

Buffalo Bills

May 21st, 2009

Buffalo Bills 7-9, fourth in AFC East

Quarterback Trent Edwards has great targets with speedy Lee Evans and Terrell Owens on the field, but will he have time to throw the ball? Jason Peters is gone and the inside three offensive line positions (guards and center) are being rebuilt. Marshawn Lynch kicks off the season with a suspension, and that doesn’t help matters much. [Tickets]

New York Jets

May 21st, 2009

New York Jets 9-7, third in AFC East

How fast rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez can develop is how far this team goes in 2009. The defense will be solid under new coach Rex Ryan, but the Jets need playmakers on offense, especially at wide receiver. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

Jacksonville Jaguars

May 21st, 2009

Jacksonville Jaguars 5-11, fourth in AFC South

The window of opportunity may have passed by this team. Last spring, the Jaguars were being touted as the team ready to dethrone the Colts. This year, expectations are a lot different. The Jaguars need David Garrard and the offense to rebound. Torry Holt will help a passing game that gave up on former first-round picks Matt Jones and Reggie Williams. The Jaguars worked hard in the draft to fix the offensive line, but it might not show up in 2009 wins. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

Washington Redskins

May 21st, 2009

Washington Redskins 8-8, fourth in NFC East

The offseason rumors about replacing quarterback Jason Campbell had to affect his confidence. He’s a developing player and should be good enough to win games. The defense improved with Albert Haynesworth and first-round draft pick Brian Orakpo, but the Redskins suffer from the same issues the Texans deal with … a brutal division. [Tickets]

Houston Texans

May 21st, 2009

Houston Texans 8-8, third in AFC South

The Texans are a hot team in the minds of many, but the division is brutal. The Texans still need to figure out how to beat Peyton Manning. There should be an improved defense with Antonio Smith and rookies Brian Cushing and Connor Barwin, but the secondary remains a question mark. [Tickets]

Cincinnati Bengals

May 21st, 2009

Cincinnati Bengals 4-11-1, third in AFC North

Quarterback Carson Palmer is back under center, and he has weapons to throw to as well as a revised offensive line. If rookie Chase Coffman is healthy, Palmer gets the receiving tight end he hasn’t had before. The defense worked its way into the top half of the NFL last year, and got better with the additions of Tank Johnson, and rookies Rey Maualuga and Michael Johnson. Chad Ochocinco could potentially disrupt all the positives that are happening in Bengals country. [Tickets]

Green Bay Packers 6-10, third in NFC North

The Packers may be too low here, considering how well Aaron Rodgers played in his first full year as a starter last season. The conversion of the defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4 is right on schedule with the additions of B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews. [Tickets]

Miami Dolphins

May 21st, 2009

Miami Dolphins 11-5, first in AFC East, lost in wild-card playoffs

The Dolphins could be ranked higher if they stick with Chad Pennington this season. The addition of Jason Taylor helps the pass rush, and the selection of the two big corners in the draft (Vontae Davis and Sean Smith) help in a division that has Terrell Owens and Randy Moss. The added dimension of Pat White to the “Wildcat” package will win a game or two this year. [Tickets]

Carolina Panthers

May 20th, 2009

Carolina Panthers 12-4, first in NFC South, lost in divisional playoffs

Much of the offseason talk surrounded Julius Peppers, and it put a negative light on the whole team. Jake Delhomme is one more year removed from his Tommy John surgery, the offensive line and running game is outstanding, and expectations are low enough that few are counting on them to do well. Whenever that happens, the Panthers play well. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

Seattle Seahawks

May 20th, 2009

Seattle Seahawks 4-12, fourth in NFC West

Seattle was a good team that had an injured quarterback, a retiring head coach and issues on defense. Matt Hasselbeck is back, and he has better weapons than he did in 2007. First-round draft pick Aaron Curry will help a defense that also added Cory Redding and Colin Cole. The Seahawks can challenge for the NFC West division crown. [Tickets]

TICKETFINDER.com Hound Ticket news brought to you by The News Hound at TICKETFINDER.com™

Chicago Bears

May 20th, 2009

Chicago Bears 9-7, second in NFC North

Jay Cutler changes everything for the Bears. He’s a playmaker with a cannon arm who can win a game with a fourth-quarter drive. The offensive line is better, but are the receivers good enough to take advantage of Cutler’s skills? The defense will be better with Rod Marinelli reuniting with his friend Lovie Smith on the Bears’ coaching staff. [Tickets]

New Orleans Saints

May 20th, 2009

New Orleans Saints 8-8, fourth in NFC South

Every year the NFL proves you can’t outscore opponents. You have to be able to stop teams and the Saints defense always has questions. Between free agency and the draft, this defense will have five new faces. However, if high-priced defensive ends Charles Grant and Will Smith don’t come through, then the Saints may be ranked too high here. [Tickets]

Minnesota Vikings

May 20th, 2009

Minnesota Vikings 10-6, first in NFC North, lost in wild-card playoffs

If Brett Favre winds up on this roster, this team could move up a few spots in the final preseason rankings. The Vikings won the division title without Favre, and the addition of Percy Harvin brings a playmaker to an offense in which no opposing defense worries about anything aside from Adrian Peterson. The Vikings defense will continue to stop the run and get after quarterbacks [Tickets]

May 20th, 2009

Tennessee Titans 13-3, first in AFC South, lost in divisional playoffs

The Vince Young debate is now on the backburner, and this team will go as far as Kerry Collins can take them. The loss of Albert Haynesworth can’t be underestimated, but coach Jeff Fisher will have his always-physical football team ready to go. Expect the offense to open up a bit with the additions of Nate Washington and first-round draft pick Kenny Britt. [Tickets]
