Mike Martz hasn't always been known as the easiest guy to get along with. It's not necessarily that he's mean, arrogant, or brass. He's just stubborn. He loves to air it out. He passes to set-up the pass. His offense thrives on blowing the other team's offense out of the water, making ... Continue Reading

The 2009 NFL season is over for the Chicago Bears. Both because it's now 2010, and because playoff season has started. The Bears, at 7-9, will not be taking part, despite once hoping in the off-season that their ambitious trade for Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler would make them a complete ... Continue Reading

We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn't just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, "Who can't?". Speaking ... Continue Reading

Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL.

While the top ... Continue Reading
