Packers vs. Seahawks: Dynasty Bowl?

Oh, I’m ever so sick of the word “dynasty,” but I’ve accepted that it is part of our professional sports vernacular. We all want to know who will become the next great dynasty, especially since we haven’t had one in the NFL since the Patriots won three Super Bowls in a four-year span a decade […]

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.

Peyton Manning should play one more season

Peyton Manning hasn’t had an overpowering arm for several years. He hasn’t had a weak arm either, or anything that resembles a flimsy piece of pasta. What he’s had since his four neck surgeries prior to joining the Denver Broncos is an arm that meets the definition of satisfactory. He can complete deep throws, and […]

What should constitute a catch in the NFL?

The NFL has basically acknowledged that its rules regarding the process of a catch aren’t perfect, but very rarely are better options brought to the table.

This weekend in NFL stupid

Here’s a full roundup of all the stupid things that transpired on divisional playoff weekend in the NFL: The stupidest fourth-down decision Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett deserves a ton of credit for gambling on 4th-and-6 against the Lions on wild-card weekend and on 4th-and-2 late Sunday against Green Bay, but I don’t understand his […]
