Buccaneers Lost At Sea: What Went Wrong In Tampa?

For a team that looked youngry and ready to take the next step it sure went south in a hurry. Coming off of a 10-6 season where the Buccaneers narrowly missed out on the playoffs they were supposed to battle the Saints and Falcons for supremacy of the NFC South. After a promising 3-1 start, […]

Handicapping The Battle For NFL Coach Of The Year

Last night we kicked off week 15, with the Falcons (led by 2008 AP Coach of the year Mike Smith) kicking some serious Jaguar butts. I started to think which coach deserves the same accolades this year. This has been one of the more competitive years in terms of the battle for coach of the […]

Fantasy Impact Week 15: Sit-Start Decisions

The grind is over, playoffs are upon us and fantasy owners all over are rejoicing.  For those fortunate enough to make it we salute you. For those who have missed out we wish you better luck next year, and leave you with a reminder.  It’s never too soon to prepare for the 2012 fantasy season. […]

Anatomy Of A Rout: Falcons Annihilate The Jaguars

The line opened at Falcons -10. It closed at nearly -14. And that wasn’t nearly enough, as hordes of the betting public flooded to the sportsbook to put their money on Atlanta. Turns out there might be something to this “wisdom of crowds” thing after all. There were all kinds of deceptive factors in this […]

Breaking: Bears WR Sam Hurd Busted In Massive Drug Sting

Wide receiver Sam Hurd wasn’t getting much game from the Chicago Bears, so he decided to enter a different kind of game instead, according to a shocking report from the Chicago Sun Times. From the timeline of Sun-Times columnist Sean Jensen (@skjensen): #Bears WR Sam Hurd arrested last night in Chicago for allegedly attempting to […]

Week 14 Fallout: Impact on AFC Division Races

The ghost of the Buffalo Bills hangs heavy over the AFC playoff picture. If each of the teams at the top win out, the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans would each have identical 13-3 records. But the Patriots, having lost to the Bills in that October stunner, would lose out on the […]

Week 14 Fallout: Impact On NFC Division Races

One thing we know for sure: The NFC playoff bracket will not feature a team with a losing record. (The New Orleans Saints can breathe a big sigh of relief.) The two wildcard teams each have 8 wins, and the 7-win East-leading Giants have to play the 7-win Cowboys in Week 17, which eliminates the […]

The Five Biggest Threats To A Green Bay Packers Repeat

If history, the 2001 St. Louis Rams and the 2007 New England Patriots have taught us anything it is that nothing in life or especially in football is a guarantee. A lesson Mike McCarthy is surely impressing upon his Green Bay Packers.  While neither St. Louis nor New England were tripped up until the final […]

Bust for Barkley / Whiff for Griff Power Rankings, Week 15

Like we have told you for the past several weeks now, its game set and match for the Colts and the first pick in next year’s draft, and they continue to find news way to be inept every week. One has to wonder if this team really would be all that different with Peyton Manning […]

Blood In The Water: Steve Spagnuolo Tops The NFL Hot Seat Rankings

Steve Spagnuolo’s nightmare season just got worse. Not because the Rams sucked (though they did), not because his franchise QB looked lost (though he did), not because he lost more guys to injury (though he did), and not because he faces a looong flight to a home that may not be his home for much […]

I Know It’s Only Rock N Roll But I Like It! NFL Week 14 Recap

http://youtube.com/watch?v=UZh8YjbDiVk?wmode=Opaque New York Giants 37, Dallas 34 – New York State of Mind by Billy Joel This match up never fails to produce memorable games and last night certainly didn’t fall short of expectations. It had everything you thought it would, including a Tony Romo fourth quarter collapse, Brandon Jacobs making a fool of himself […]

Who The Hell Is TJ Yates? (And Why The Texans Love Him)

After last week’s win, Coach Gary Kubiak summed up his Texans like this: “Three weeks, three different quarterbacks. But the same team.” The first QB is a household name in fantasy circles, even if he pretty much fails as a celebrity. The second QB is a household name in a number of cheerleader paternity suits […]

Fantasy Impact Week 14: Quarter Finals Sit – Start Decisions

The time is here and the end is near. For those fortunate enough to make it through the weekly grind of fantasy football I congratulate you. For those on the brink with a week to go I wish you good luck. This is why you have spent far too much time in front of the […]

Two Long’s Make A Right: Comparing A Father & Son

One of the few bright spots all year in the steaming pile of crap that is the St. Louis Rams has been the play of Chris Long. Finally living up to his number two overall draft status this year, Long is currently 3rd  in league in sacks with 12 through 14 games. The Rams defensive […]
