Chargers Release LaDainian Tomlinson: Where’s He Headed?
After a long, brilliant career in San Diego, where LaDainian Tomlinson wrote the Chargers rushing record book in a fashion that may never be duplicated, the future Hall of Famer was finally released. The fact is, LT and the Chargers were dancing around his age, declining play, and contract for the past two seasons. But [...]
Saints top Colts to win Super Bowl XLIV
Even though Mardi Gras is nine days away, the party in New Orleans starts now. Drew Brees tied an NFL record with 32 completions to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, giving the franchise its first Super Bowl championship. Brees’ record tying completions went along with 39 attempts, [...]
Super Bowl XLIV: Why the Colts Will Win it All
Forget about trends and rankings. They don’t do a whole lot of good in helping us predict Super Bowl winners. Just look back to Super Bowl XXIV, when Joe Montana and Jerry Rice dominated the league’s top scoring defense, the Denver Broncos, in the most lop-sided Super Bowl in NFL History, winning 55-10. We’ve even [...]
Super Bowl XLIV: Picking an Unlikely MVP
If you’re a big “props bet” guy/gal, this may be an article you take into serious consideration. The days of Joe Montana winning three Super Bowl MVP’s are long gone. Just look at the 1997 Super Bowl, where Brett Favre played a heck of a game (three total touchdowns), only to see kick/punt returner Desmond [...]
NFL Championship Week: Picking the Super Bowl
This is what it comes down to. We have the top two teams that pulled at our heart-strings almost all season, even flat-out telling us they’d try for 16-0 (Thank you, New Orleans), and still delivering themselves into the playoffs with the top seed in their respective conferences. Yes, you know them and read about [...]
2009 NFL MVP Race: Down to Four Candidates
Brett Favre made his comeback worth while. He stared “late-season slide” talk straight in the face, and proceeded to throw six touchdowns and over 600 yards in his last five quarters. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning faded (along with their teams), as they spent their final weeks on the bench of playing like shells of [...]
Did the Dallas Cowboys Expose the New Orleans Saints?
Uh, yeah. If you’re a Saints fan, stop reading. I mean, you can keep reading, but you’re not going to like what you hear. The truth is, Mardi Gras is not on it’s way. Not for the Saints. Plain and simple: they just aren’t what they’re cracked up to be. Yes, their 13-0 run was [...]
Is The Quest For Perfection In The NFL Worth The Risk?
Let’s be honest. This whole “going undefeated” thing just doesn’t happen in the NFL. Save for the 2007 New England Patriots, it’s only happened one other time in the entire history of the league, and we can only count two times that we’ve seen a team reach the Super Bowl without a loss in the [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 15: Go With Romo
We had a poor week for the second straight week in our fantasy football Start/Sit column, while negatively impacted by Rock Cartwright’s status changing in the middle of the week, while four of our five sleepers were ether complete non-factors, or suffered an injury. We vow to end Week 15 with a winning record in [...]
