Revisiting history: Super Bowl III

In this age, we have a tendency to only remember things which happened five seconds ago. Everything is the greatest of all-time. Current scandals will tarnish legacies forever. Last night’s game was a watershed moment. In reality, most of that talk is utter nonsense. Events are blown completely out of proportion, because so many don’t […]

Five best Super Bowl venues

Over the years, the Super Bowl has been placed all over the United States. Traditionally, the game has changed cities each year, although once that was not the case (Super Bowls II and III were both in the Orange Bowl). Until last year, the Super Bowl was always in a dome or a warm-weather city, […]

Will Todd Bowles turn around the Jets?

The New York Jets have been a complete mess over the past four seasons. Under the leadership of head coach Rex Ryan, general manager John Idzik and before him, Mike Tannenbaum, the Jets became a circus. It seemed capturing the back page became more important than winning football games, and the results were brutal. It […]

Will Chip Kelly move up for Marcus Mariota?

The Philadelphia Eagles have gone 10-6 in each of Chip Kelly’s two years as head coach. In 2013, Philadelphia won the NFC East but lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round. In 2014, Kelly could not overcome Nick Foles’ broken collarbone, falling a win shy of the postseason. After 2013, it […]

The Seattle Seahawks displayed the heart of a champion

Every once in a while, you know the moment unfolding is an instant classic. The 2006 Rose Bowl and 2007 Super Bowl immediately come to mind, and now the 2014 NFC Championship game joins them.

The Kansas City Chiefs have tough calls ahead

The Kansas City Chiefs are a team on the rise. Despite going from 11-5 and a playoff team to 9-7 and out of the postseason in 2014, Kansas City was much more competitive against quality opponents. In Andy Reid’s first year at the helm, the Chiefs were only able to beat one playoff team in […]

The Seattle Seahawks could join elite company

On Sunday at CenturyLink Field in the great Northwest, the Seattle Seahawks have an opportunity to reach a second consecutive Super Bowl. The only thing standing in their way are Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, a team with one of the most potent offensives in recent history. However, Green Bay was mediocre on […]

Can Rex Ryan make the Buffalo Bills matter?

On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills officially announced Rex Ryan as their new head coach, replacing Doug Marrone.
