It seems like years since the media was talking about the Philadelphia Eagles as the NFL’s version of the Miami Heat. Speculation abounded about the possibility of the Eagles making the trek to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl. In hindsight, it would appear that we were putting the cart before the horse. There will be […]

Is it sad that we can be watching a football game and instantly recognize a play that will result in a fine, regardless of whether a penalty was called or not? I’ll give the NFL some credit in this regard. They’re getting very consistent with what types of hits they’ll fine. My problem is that […]

McNabb was benched by Vikings coach Leslie Frazier in mid-October, and rookie Christian Ponder has been behind center ever since. McNabb has remained on the team as the backup. “I know I have a lot of football left […]

With just 5 regular season weeks left in the NFL’s 2011 campaign, the playoff picture is starting to get very interesting. It’s at this time in the year that a team almost always shoots up the standings to snag a last second wild-card slot, and someone pulls off a choke job and gets left out […]

Yesterday, the Jacksonville Jaguars fired their long time head coach, Jack Del Rio. While Del Rio may be the first head coaching casulty of the 2011 season, he won’t be the last. There are many coaches that are feeling the burn under their buns as their seats get warmer and warmer. Who’s a lame duck? […]

Khan is expected to announce that he’ll be keeping the team in Jacksonville, something the Jaguars current owner, Wayne Weaver, was very adamant about from the very start of the […]

The NFL handed down a harsh sentence for Detroit Lions defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh. After his latest incident in which Suh repeatedly shoved Dietrich-Smith’s head into the ground before stomping on Smith’s arm, the NFL thought it prudent to suspend Suh for 2 games. During the suspension, Suh will not be paid, and he won’t be allowed […]

Chris Mortensen of ESPN is reporting that the Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Jack Del Rio. Del Rio was widely viewed as a “lame duck” coach for most of the season, but many close to the organization thought they could remain competitive. Despite the fact that the Jaguars have started rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert […]

The Chargers have been the punch line to several jokes over the years. Whether it be for choking in the playoffs, drafting Ryan Leaf, or starting the season slower than a 200 pound poodle, the Chargers just never seem to be able to put it all together for an entire season. This year is no […]

Chicago Bears 20, Oakland Raiders 25 If we’re being honest with ourselves, we’re not surprised that the Bears struggled against a formidable opponent today. The Raiders have played themselves into first place in the AFC West, and they’ve been aided by the Chargers’ struggles. At 7-4, the Raiders’ biggest concern within their own division is […]

A tale of two teams heading in opposite directions. The Chargers have lost five straight against the spread, while the Broncos have rattled off three in a row. This is the power of the almighty Tebow against a floundering Chargers attack that has been hanging on by a thread for years. But yet somehow, despite […]

Just nine short weeks ago the Bills were the toast of the AFC coming off of an impressive win against division foe and perennial bully the New England Patriots. The Bills were in control of the AFC East and it appeared their destiny. Fast forward five weeks and following the Bills dismantling of the Washington […]

What I Liked: The Green Bay Packers continue to dominate the NFL, and that was no different on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit. While they started the game slowly, only scoring 7 points in the first half, they were able to open it up to win comfortably, with some help from Matthew Stafford and Ndamukong Suh. […]

A really funny thing happened in this game. It was close for a while, and there are surely some people who were convinced that Tyler Palko was an NFL caliber quarterback in the first half. There was a point where he was playing better than Tom Brady, and the Chiefs actually had a 3-0 lead. […]
