On Monday Night Football, Drew Brees broke Dan Marino’s 27 year old record for most passing yards in a season with an extra game to spare. If Brees plays the distance against Carolina on Sunday, he’ll end up shattering Marino’s previous mark of 5,084. Even though passing numbers have been going through the roof this […]

After crushing the resurgent Chargers this week, the Lions clinched their first playoff birth since 1999. This was not a total shock to the league, as Detroit has put together a solid young roster, and with Matt Stafford staying healthy for the whole year, a playoff spot was well within their grasp. But what many […]

When you look at the NFC’s Pro Bowl roster, it’s hard to argue against any of the quarterbacks that made the cut. Aaron Rodgers should be a shoo in to win the 2011 MVP, and Drew Brees just eclipsed Dan Marino’s single season passing record with another game to play. There’s no doubt that they […]

It’s one year into the new Michael Vick era in Philly after trading away Kevin Kolb and all indications point to the eagles making the right call. So, the question before us is do the Philadelphia Eagles need to consider selecting a quarterback in the early rounds of the April 2012 NFL Draft? Absolutely. By no […]

NFL GM’s were still in the giving mood a couple of days after Christmas it appears. Giving out two pink slips today. Those on the receiving end were San Francisco 49ers WR Braylon Edwards and Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain. Struggling wide receiver Braylon Edwards was released by the San Francisco 49ers following surgery on […]

With every pass he completes this weekend, Drew Brees will extend his record for most yards completed in an NFL season. Brees, in fact, did something last night that Dan Marino could not do in 15 years of trying. He broke Marino’s remarkable 1984 yardage record. Yet Brees’ remarkable feat is marginally better than his […]

If you’re a fan of passing, this was the game for you. Unfortunately for fans of football in general, the Saints didn’t let the Falcons hang around and make it a game. Both quarterbacks had unbelievable games, but the score didn’t indicate that for the Falcons. Drew Brees broke Dan Marino’s record for most yards […]

The Chicago Bears showed so much promise this season once they got their feat under them after a shaky start. They started just 2-3 before rattling off 5 consecutive wins. That all seems like years ago. The Bears are winless since beating the Chargers. That was the game that their season changed for the […]

New York Giants 29 New York Jets 14 – My Hometown by Bruce Springsteen The New York Giants chose to stay out of the tabloids and keep their mouth shuts and let their play do the talking and it certainly played off. After an ugly 1st half by both teams the Giants eventually took over behind […]

As if there was any doubt, we can now announce that the Green Bay Packers are back on track, propelled by another incredible effort from Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, who looked like a touchdown throwing robot, threw for 283 yards on 21 completions and those included 5, yes 5 touchdowns. The game itself actually stayed very […]

One of the unspoken traditions of Christmas, or Hannukah, or Festivus, or your holiday of choice, is that you wind up spending a lot of time around family members that you rarely ever see, and even more rarely want to see. Drawn out by the lure of presents, or food, or just because they’ve stored […]

Philadelphia Eagles 20, Dallas Cowboys 7 I got my Christmas wish one night early. The Dallas Cowboys will be traveling to New York to play the Giants for the NFC East championship. The loser of that game will go home while the winner will prepare to host a playoff game. While it’s currently scheduled for […]

New York Giants 29, New York Jets 14 This was by far and beyond my pick for “game of the week.” What could be better? The two teams from the Big Apple duking it out with both of their potential playoff lives on the line. That’s the definition of meaningful football. Unfortunately for the Jets, […]
