The Best Sunday Ever
Commissioner Santa Goodell took a break from suspending Pac-Man Jones last week and scurried down our chimneys bearing gifts to be cherished. Along with his elfin NFL schedulers, he befriended us with the most entertaining Week 17 ever. Nearly every game had playoff implications. Usually we roll into the final week of the season with [...]
Bowl Predictions: Music City, Insight, Chick-Fil-A
I went 2-1 in my bowl predictions yesterday, coming out positively thanks to Rice routing Western Michigan in the Texas Bowl and Oregon outlasting Oklahoma State in an offense-filled Holiday Bowl. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it three for three, as Maryland held off Nevada 42-35 in the Humanitarian Bowl, largely in part to having their [...]
Will Broncos look at Kubiak to replace fired Shanahan?
The ax has fallen on another NFL head coach, and it comes as no surprise that Mike Shanahan is out as the Denver Broncos’ head coach after 14 seasons at the helm. The Broncos missed the playoffs in each of the last three seasons, but this season’s collapse was the straw that broke the camel’s [...]

Bowl Predictions: Humanitarian, Texas, and Holiday

NFL Best and Worst Rankings: Week 17
If you’re into NFL football betting, you’re looking like the wisest of wise men if you put a wager on the Miami Dolphins to win the AFC East before the season started. But, if you’re one of the many people who put money on the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, or New York Jets, you [...]
Does Pat White have a future with his arm?
If Bill Stewart’s intention was to have Pat White use his last collegiate game to show that he can indeed toss the ball around the yard pretty well, White took advantage of the chance and ran with it. In Saturday’s Meineke Car Care Bowl against North Carolina, White saved his best for last, registering his [...]
Alabama suspends Outland winner Smith for Sugar Bowl
Nothing like a little bowl season suspension news to spice things up, right? Alabama takes on 12-0 Utah in the Sugar Bowl on Friday, but the Crimson Tide will be taking the field in the Big Easy without one of their biggest players, as award-winning offensive lineman Andre Smith has been suspended for a violation [...]
The Monday After: Let the madness begin!
The NFL regular season is finally over, and for the last 12 teams standings, it’s time to start preparing for the playoffs. Four lucky teams can rest easy throughout this week and really enjoy their New Year’s celebrations, since they don’t have to play for another two weeks, while eight other teams can’t look past [...]
Lions wrap with a historic loss, Carolina clinches NFC South, Minnesota clinches NFC North
The Detroit Lions officially confirmed themselves as the worst team in NFL history. Valiant effort as they put up against Green Bay, the end result was a 31-21 loss. Fortunately for Lions fans, Matt Millen won’t have any involvement in deciding who gets taken with the #1 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, and Rod [...]
