The expectation from every NFL fanbase is simple. Fans want their teams to win now. Going into a season that’s being called a “rebuilding year” is always tough on fans. The realization that your team will struggle to find its way to a .500 record is never easy to make, and impatience often get the […]

In the NFL, we like to talk about teams’ championship “window.” The term basically points to the time frame that a team has a legitimate chance of winning a Super Bowl. That window of time can close for a number of reasons. The salary cap can catch up to a team while others suffer from […]

As a guy that lives near Indianapolis, I find myself watching far more Colts games every season than probably any other team in the league. Because of this, I like to believe I have a better feel for the team than most national media outlets. Last season, the Colts were dealt what would prove to […]

While this is the first video to surface (via TMZ.com), it won’t be the last. The only thing we can see here is Peterson being handcuffed while the police officers attempt to push the bystanders away from the scene. There’s been a large amount of backlash aimed at the arresting officers in question, and we […]

There are a number of teams this offseason that have declared their quarterback position to be up for grabs. The Dolphins, Browns, Seahawks, and Titans have highly contested battles at the position, and those teams would like their quarterbacks to believe that each of them has a shot at landing the starting job. Sorry guys. […]

If you’d like to read the title of this article one more time, I completely understand. Tim Tebow is getting the martial arts training he’s always needed to compete successfully in the NFL. @

http://youtube.com/watch?v=a-99fGDbtAc This is why I’d take Manning over Romo in a heartbeat. Anytime someone talks about Tony Romo as an elite quarterback, I tend to cringe a little and walk away. Every now and then, someone like Amani Toomer compares Romo to another established quarterback, in this case Eli Manning, and says Romo is the […]

Winning in the NFL isn’t all about having the best players, the best coaches, and the best team chemistry. Every team in the league is geared to maximize the chance of winning on Sunday. Having the best players is a big part of being successful on Sunday, but with 32 teams vying for the same […]

The use of instant replay is at times a savior for some fans while simultaneously being the bane of other fans’ existence. Since its re-introduction into the NFL in 1999, it has proven to be a sustainable system, and over the years, the NFL has expanded its role in the game. Sure there have been […]

The passing of Andy Griffith yesterday was sad news to any of us who enjoyed watching The Andy Griffith Show. While he was never known for being involved in football, he did do a football standup routine back in 1953. Enjoy and rest in piece Andy (hat tip to Alfie Crow for the video via […]

The NFL announced today that the player suspensions associated with the Bountygate investigation had been upheld by Roger Goodell, effectively ending the saga. The key here is that Goodell expressed that he still reserves the right to reduce suspensions if new evidence/statements are brought forward. The most telling portion of Goodell’s statement follows: “Although you […]

This is my suggestion for how the Lions can punish players that get arrested. In a recent online chat at Freep.com, Justin Durant of the Detroit Lions expressed disappointment with teammates’ offseason decision making in regards to the Lions’ 6 arrests. While it may seem obvious, leaders within the Lions’ locker room need to step […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=gAcVbT79VB8 A.J. Hawk, you need to wrap up when you tackle. In this piece, Kyle Rodriguez of Colts Authority looks at some of the similarities between the Colts’ fan base and other teams’ fanbases. The perception, as pointed out by Rodriguez, is that Colts fans are fair weather fans. Being a Hoosier myself, I can […]

It’s been known for some time now that the NFL has every intention of putting a team in Los Angeles. The league has also noted that it is not thinking of expansion at this point. Put those two notions together, and we know that one of the current franchises in the NFL will be in […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=8A6wvRgRM8Y We joke about Brett Favre a lot, but this guy was one of the best. Brett Favre left Green Bay in about the worst possible way. He had retired, then he decided to comeback. That didn’t sit well with the Packers who were moving on with Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback. The episode […]
