The Buccaneers play in a very difficult division, and they're still busy picking up the pieces from the short-lived Raheem Morris era. The man the team chose to re-build with is Greg Schiano, but he shouldn't get too comfortable. He could be gone at the end of the year. As a general rule, I don't […]

On a day that was supposed to provide the football watching world a plethora of answers, we got a big fat goose egg from the early games. The Saints, who I thought would be in the playoffs with no problem just three weeks ago, dropped to 0-3. The Chiefs, meanwhile, escaped with the overtime win […]

How do you get points without using your offense? Go to an oldy but a goody. Trailing 9-3, the Titans decided to throw a lateral clear across the field, nearly identical to the play they used to beat the Bills over a decade ago, although that was on a kickoff return instead of a punt, […]

This weekend, the New York Jets are on the road against the Miami Dolphins. Last week, Mark Sanchez and the Jets' offense were completely inept with the exception of an early touchdown drive. To put it simply, this is a make or break game for the Jets, and more specifically, Mark Sanchez. I'll be very […]

Ah the New York Jets; the gleam of every NFL writer/blogger/fan's eyes. It seems as if every week they give us a new story line to report that is in some way unbelievable, and this week is no different. This time, Bart Scott is at the center of the headlines. Bart Hubbuch of the New […]

Well the first two weeks have not exactly gone as planned with the weekly pick. Andrew Luck stole it last week and the Jets felt like scoring a lot in Week 1, so lets try to get back on the winning road this week. The Saints have been a disaster thus far. Everyone expected […]

Playing a former team always gives players an extra bit of motivation in the week leading up to gameday. Playing a former team that also bailed on you as a player gives you even more of a kick in the rear.

Of all the big headlines running throughout a normal NFL week, it'd be easy to miss one about Vince Young. Just 6 years removed from being the 3rd overall pick in the NFL draft and receiving a $26 million pay day from the Titans, Vince Young apparently needs money. “I would just say that Vince […]

The Anschutz Entertainment Group, backer of the downtown Los Angeles football stadium project, is up for sale. So what does this mean for the St. Louis Rams, who many saw moving to LA as a forgone conclusion?

Michael Turner's DUI arrest last night after his Falcons beat Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos treated fans to another soothing yet empty team statement that tells nothing. Most NFL franchises have the routine down pat. For those that don't, This Given Sunday shares this template of what to say when the fertilizer hits the […]
