NFL.com senior analyst Gil Brandt is usually focused on personnel, but his Tuesday chat this week for some reason ended up focusing on predictions for 2011 division winners – and some of the picks may be surprising.

Last week, we looked at the Steelers-Ravens battle in the divisional playoff round, a matchup of two 12-4 clubs that ended up being one of the better games of 2010.

Let’s get this straight: Tuesday is Joe Namath’s birthday. … The Hall of Famer is 68 years old. … Coincidentally, ’68 was the year Namath led the Jets to the Super Bowl… Sounds like an obvious time to pay tribute to the man by looking back on his career courtesy of Spike Lee’s commentary from last year’s Top 100 series.

NFL.com’s Pat Kirwan ranked the top running backs in the NFL, and he’s a lot higher on Philadelphia’s LeSean McCoy than most people. And we agree.

Hope you all enjoyed a fun and safe Memorial Day. Did you spend it at a barbecue with friends and family? You probably were saying to yourself, “I wonder what New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is doing on Memorial Day?” Well, funny you asked.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Lloyd stopped by NFL Network studios Monday, and we got a chance to chat with the Pro Bowler about burgers, video games, intro music and more.

Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman took a few minutes during his visit to NFL Network on Monday to discuss his transition to wide receiver, Tom Brady‘s study habits, and the time he “Moss’d” someone.

Jim Tressel likely has no future now in college. He might at a much lower level, but not in the big conferences. As for the NFL, I think there’s a tremendous difference between the two levels. You look at all the highly successful college coaches and not many of them seem to translate that to the NFL. In the end, I think he’ll end up at some small school in an unpaid type of capacity in which he helps young coaches and young people. That’s what he always loved doing.

With all the hubbub surrounding Kevin Kolb’s potential landing spot, it’s worth asking, “What’s the hubbub all about?”

Based purely on pedigree, Jeff Saturday might be the last player you’d expect to appear on NFL Network’s “The Top 100 Players of 2011″ series.

Dave and Adam Rank discuss the players coming in 60-51 on the NFL Network’s Top 100 players of 2010 list,

When asked about which veteran receiver among Plaxico Burress, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco (who could very well stick with the Bengals) has the most to offer during his weekly live chat, NFL.com’s Vic Carucci made a somewhat surprising pick.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend everybody, what are you doing still working? Well, let me do my part to help you along with some quick hitters to help you pass the time.

That’s right, no reason why we here at NFL.com shouldn’t join the rest of the free world in paying tribute to Oprah Winfrey as she celebrated the end of her talk show this week.

Now we bring you Brett Favre throwing out a first pitch … sound the Favre Watch!
