The Red Zone Report

Through the first several weeks of the season, the Buffalo Bills appeared to be well on their way to emerging as a contender in the AFC. The Bills started 5-1 and capitalized on early stumbles by New England and the New York Jets to get an early cushion in the AFC East. After [...]

There’s still one more game to be played in Week 11 of the NFL season, but Week 11’s first 15 games have yielded plenty of observations, a few surprises, and a few things staying according to form. The Titans keep winning, the Lions keep losing, and there was neither in Cincinnati yesterday. Cleveland [...]

By now, you’ve likely either heard or read about Donovan McNabb’s lack of knowledge about the NFL’s tie rules. I imagine that sometime during this week, Donovan might make a post on his Yardbarker blog making light of the situation, as he should. We’ll continue to laugh and talk about it even after [...]

This weekend’s college football schedule was pretty light, but there was no shortage of action. There weren’t any earth-shattering upsets, which is why the top half of the new polls are mostly intact heading into next weekend, which will see several big games (Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Penn State-Michigan State, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Central Michigan-Ball State). I’ll [...]

From time to time, you’ll see non-football or sports-related promotional posts on here, I’m sure a lot of people are looking to save some money on holiday gifts this year, and with that in mind, I have an economical and interactive gift idea.

FSU is still [...]

There are a couple major things that can be taken from the New York Jets’ thrilling 34-31 overtime win at New England last night. The first for many is likely whether or not the Jets are now the team to beat in an AFC East that has been a lot more competitive than anyone [...]

Are times getting desperate in South Bend? A little over a month ago, Notre Dame was 4-1 and in position to show their worth as a Top 25 team. Now, heading into Saturday’s game against Navy, the Irish are 5-4, with their lone win coming against Washington. Charlie Weis is now taking over play-calling duties, [...]

It’s a good time to be Daniel Murray right now. Kicking a game-winning field goal to upset a national title contender (and give your coach a victory he really needed) means BMOC status for at least a few days, free drinks in Iowa City’s finest establishments (Murray’s legal as of September), and numerous Facebook [...]

And down goes another head coach from the collegiate ranks. While Phil Fulmer’s exit from Tennessee has drawn plenty of ire since it was announced on Monday, I don’t think there will be too many people shedding tears or gnashing teeth about Ron Prince’s resignation from Kansas State. It’s pretty simple why Prince [...]
