The National Football League is an incredible thing. It brings people together, whether it is huddled around a television or tailgating in the snow outside the stadium. The entertainment value is so high, the intrinsic value so important, that we collectively move past the stories of Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy not because […]

0 comments by on 2/2/2015

On Monday morning, following the Seattle Seahawks’ 28-24 defeat to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX, there has been a bevy of conjecture. Most of it has centered around Seattle offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, and his decision to throw from New England’s 1-yard line with 26 seconds remaining instead of giving his bruising […]

The Washington Redskins and their forgotten dynasty

0 comments by

When the word dynasty comes up in NFL circles, almost everybody thinks of the same teams. The Cleveland Browns dominated the 1950’s, followed by the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots in each subsequent decade. Somehow, the Washington Redskins from 1982-91 get forgotten. Washington, with head coach […]

Top five free-agent quarterbacks

0 comments by on 1/28/2015

It is very difficult to find a capable quarterback in free agency. Generally speaking, the National Football League is a place where good signal-callers get snatched up via the draft and occasionally trade. Men who hit the open market are either washed up or not talented enough in most cases, with the Peyton Manning saga […]

Winning the Super Bowl means being remembered forever. The statues are erected outside the stadium, the banners rise to the rafters and the Hall of Fame likely swells by a few busts.
