Brett Favre Mulling Retirement (Again): Should He Stay or Go?
Let’s face it, Brett Favre‘s “interception heard round the world” has been ridiculed and dissected from every angle. It need not be done so in this article as well. Rather than regurgitate everything that took place in Sunday night’s exciting, albeit somewhat controversial NFC Championship, perhaps we should look to the future (and Favre’s). After [...]
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 [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 15th): Saints sign Deuce McCallister, Marion Barber still questionable, and more
Saints Reportedly Sign Deuce McCallister New Orleans has reportedly agreed to terms with former running back, Deuce McCallister. McCallister isn’t guaranteed to have a role for the playoffs, but with Pierre Thomas dealing with an injury and Mike Bell’s play dropping off in the second half of the season, the Saints were looking for someone [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 13th): Jim Haslett to coach Washington defense, Jack Del Rio officially staying in Jacksonville, and more
Washington Names Jim Haslett Defensive Coordinator The Washington Redskins have reportedly named former New Orleans and St. Louis head coach Jim Haslett their new defensive coordinator. Washington has decided to make the permanent switch to the 3-4 defensive scheme, and with extensive experience with the scheme in Pittsburgh, Haslett could potentially be a perfect fit. [...]
2010 NFL Divisional Round Predictions
We picked three of the four Wild Card games correctly, although our overall postseason predictions (found here) were slightly challenged with New York upsetting Cincinnati. However, we decided to stick with our gut and not stray from our winners this week. After all, hype is hype for a reason, and the Jets will fizzle out. [...]
2010 NFL Playoff Predictions: Calling the Super Bowl
If you missed our Wild Card preview (which has yet to be determined), go here. The outcome of those four games leads into this article, which dissects the eventual match-ups, and leads to a Super Bowl winner. We didn’t really take the time to make a pick for the Super Bowl back in the preseason, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
