What do you think is the best NFL Football magazine out there? I'm not talking about from a Fantasy perspective but just a general read on all the teams and upcoming season. I've only seen Athlon's and The Sporting News out there so far. Which one do you buy annually? Thanks in advance.

 
Last year it was a 3-horse race between FF Index, FBG, and Roto's mags. Haven't seen any this year but expect them to be at/near the top again.

If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks Pro Football Prospectus is as good as it gets.Otherwise if you must have instant gratification, then go with the Sporting News. I believe they have local writers who cover the respective teams doing the write ups.

 
I usually get FBG, FF Index and one of either Athlon or Lindy's.

Problem with living in Australia is that the postage costs are usually more than the mag itself (exception being FBG :ptts: ).

Fortunately at the moment the exchange rate is pretty good.

Lindy's is very good, FF Index is my favorite. Their weekly updates are nice, but you only need the update after the 3rd pre-season game..the others are just repeats of each other, basically a waste of $$..I buy the update after the 3rd pre-season game because thats the last game that teams play their starters for 3+ quarters, resting them during the final pre-season game to allow rookies and those hoping to make the team to show their stuff..
 
i got my Index today. it seems great, as usual.
Same here. The internet updates are always nice.
Me three. It's thicker this year than the NYC phone book. :thumbup:
I like FFI as well. They have some nice features but if I recall correctly, their advise was way off last year. Pretty bad actually. I think I re-read it a few months a go and their rankings were nowhere near the final rankings. I will still buy it again this year though.
 
The OP is not talking about from a fantasy point of view.

I bought Pro Football Weekly NFL Preview in May. It decent.

 
I like footballguys and pro football weekly

he is an excerpt from another magazine, see if you have it. this was out a while ago so it has probably been edited.

DONALD LEE

He's coming off a career year but he'll lose time to first round pick Greg Olsen, Chicago's tight end of the future.

:loco:

whoops

 
I picked up the index last night, highly recommend it. I have only read tru the first 20 pages or so but so far they insight has been great, the only knock I had on FBG this year was the outdated material I mean the mock drafts where Travis Henry is taken and Benson plus, they actually have Henry as an overvalued player.

But hey its just a mag, the real stuff starts to matter in Mid August for me thats why I subscribe to this site.

 
OK I think most if not all of us completely missed the orig question. It's "best NFL mag" - not "best FF mag." ie the mags we old-timers used to read back when FF scarcely existed if at all.

d'oh.

No clue on that one.
