Jed York is maintaining the 49ers’ fan base in a whole new way

Kathleen Russell runs a daycare business out of her Los Altos, Calif. home, so when anybody shows up unannounced, she's a little suspicious. That happened at around 4:45 Monday afternoon, when a baby-faced 30-something wearing a polo shirt and Dockers approached the house. But the first thing the man did was assure Kathleen he wasn't […]

Peyton Manning’s top five games

The Sherriff took his troops and went to San Diego to win what another magical Peyton Manning comeback on Monday night football. Despite a 24-0 lead at halftime the Bronco’s never heard the fat lady sing and behind the arm of Peyton Manning and well Philip Rivers who had 6 turnovers on the night the […]

With Mike Holmgren out, Pat Shurmur becomes a lame duck

With the sale of the Browns to Jimmy Haslam officially sealed and done, it didn't take long for Adam Schefter to report that Mike Holmgren will retire as the Browns' president. New owners often bring big changes to an organization in the NFL, and that's not a good thing for Browns head coach Pat Shurmur. […]

TGS WEEK 7 POWER RANKINGS: NFC DOMINATING AFC

There isn't a lot we can conclude based on what's' gone on over the first six weeks of the 2012 NFL season, but this much is for sure: the NFC has kicked the AFC's ass. Not only do NFC teams have a combined winning percentage of .556 while the AFC's combined percentage is only .446, […]

NFL week 6 rock stars

The Green Bay Packers proved there that they are just fine this weekend as Aaron Rodgers finds himself a rock star for the first time this season.  This week someone of the expected name found themselves in the very select honorable role of being an NFL rock star and there were one or two players that […]

Patriots still the favorite in the AFC East

Following a wild day of games in the AFC East, the entire division is tied up with 3-3 records. Even so, I can't shake the feeling that the New England Patriots are still in control, despite a slow start to their season. The New England Patriots have dropped three games this season by a total […]

FIVE & FIVE: THE BIGGEST SURPRISES/DISAPPOINTMENTS FROM SUNDAY

We wrap up the sixth Sunday of the NFL season by looking at a handful of players who exceeded expectations and a handful who failed to deliver. Surprises Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks: It's not as though expectations weren't at a relatively high level for Wilson, who's had a decent start to his career. But few […]

Browns, Chiefs, Jaguars lead race for first overall pick

The NFL is all about finding a franchise quarterback, and many of the bottom dwellers of the NFL are in the process of finding out exactly what type of signal caller they have. In particular, the Browns Chiefs and Jaguars are trying to find out exactly what they have. The Chiefs looked completely flat in […]

Lions keep season alive with a thrilling overtime win

I would like to take this opportunity to nominate the Lions for the award of most entertaining team to watch. With them, there's never a dull moment. The Lions trailed the Eagles 13 to 23 with about five minutes left to play, but in classic fashion, they never gave up, and their late game efforts […]

Mighty Mountaineer

Torpedo for Geno? Jalapeno for Geno? Steno for Geno? There may not be a Suck for Luck this season, but the returns could be just as fruitful for whoever ends the pro season with the worst record.  Had Matt Barkley committed for the draft this year, he would have given RGIII a run for his […]

Drew Brees continues to hammer Roger Goodell

Roger Goodell has been, if nothing else, decisive as the NFL's commissioner. He's instituted a program that constantly fines players for illegal hits, he's negotiated successfully on the NFL's behalf with both the NFLPA and NFLRA, and he's handed down some of the most stringent penalties in NFL history in regard to the bountygate scandal. […]

Pick of the week: Colts (+3.5) at Jets

  Coming off of an emotional victory against the Packers on the back of Chuck Pagano, this could have the makings of a let down game. That is of course if the Jets had anything resembling an offensive attack and had the ability to put up points in any traditional manner. Betting against the Jets […]

UFL scrambling to buy time

The United Football League (UFL) has been on thin ice for some time now, and it's beginning to come to a boiling point as players and coaches begin to desert their teams following a round of unpaid debts by the UFL's owners.
