Tom Cable Done in Oakland? Al Davis and Tom Cable will reportedly meet today to discuss Cable’s future, and according to Oakland beat writer, David White, Cable doesn’t stand much of a chance.

OC choice important for Bears
Since I live in the Chicagoland area and have been a Bears fan ever since my mother told me stories about Dick Butkus before bed, I try not to write exclusively about them. As a blogger, it’s important to be unbiased and fair, which hopefully is the case whenever you see my rhetoric. However, this [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 8th): Jim Mora done in Seattle, Eric Mangini staying in Cleveland, and more
Jim Mora Done in Seattle Mora lasted just one season in Seattle, as he guided the disappointing Seahawks to a 5-11 record and third place finish in the weak NFC West. With tons of issue in Seattle on both sides of the ball, and Seattle already axing former GM Tim Ruskell, Mora had a 50-50 [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Post-Season Power Rankings
You can never learn anything if you don’t re-trace your steps. That’s why, instead of merely assessing each team’s standing in the rankings for the final Power Rankings of the season, this writer is looking back to Week One, both to judge the teams that failed us, as well as the writer’s original thoughts on [...]
NFL Wild Card Preview: Bengals, Ravens, Cardinals, and Cowboys to advance
The NFL Playoffs are finally upon us. From the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets (who barely sneaked in) to the Indianapolis Colts (who were in since Week 10), the field is set, and ready to go.

Tom Brady Named Comeback Player of the Year Brady topped 4,300 passing yards, while throwing 28 touchdowns to just 13 interceptions a year after tearing his ACL. Despite being out for 15 and a half games last season, Brady looked much like his old self, and helped get the Patriots back in the playoffs with [...]
Jay Cutler in Chicago: Work in Progress or Failure?
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 team. After a horrid [...]
The December Curse Is Over For The Dallas Cowboys
The curse has to end sometime. Just ask the Boston Red Sox. Ask all the Chicago Cubs fans that are still crossing their fingers, saying their prayers, and dreaming those dreams. Even if it hasn’t happened yet, it eventually will. Most (if not not every) record will be broken. Games that shouldn’t be won will [...]
NFL Week 17 Preview: Chris Johnson Eyes 2,000 yards
We’re in the final week of the 2009 NFL regular season, and before we turn the fortunes of the 2009 portion into the hands of 2010 and the next decade, we still have one last glance at some special moments in Week 17. We’ve seen some interesting things, some scary things, and some shocking things [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
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 of former unbeaten [...]
