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 [...]
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 [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0
We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off. But it’s the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the other 28 teams not [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Jan. 20th): Buffalo Bills hire Chan Gailey as head coach, Jonathan Stewart has surgery, and more
Chan Gailey Made Buffalo Bills Head Coach The Buffalo Bills hired Georgie Tech coach Chan Gailey as their new head coach. Saying Gailey’s name out loud doesn’t quite erase the taste that Dick Jauron left in fan’s mouths, and it doesn’t necessarily get you thinking “playoffs”, either. However, with 34 years of experience in college [...]
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 [...]
NBA (Jan. 18th): Top Five Games of the Week
If you’re looking for the spot to be in, it’s the left side of your couch. The one with the table stand right next to it, where you set the beer, the remote control, and casually fiddle with your iPhone. But if you want to know when you should be sitting in that exact spot, [...]
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 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, [...]
