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. Despite our solid picks throughout the season, however, we (like any writers) tense up a bit when having [...]
Can Romo and the red-hot Cowboys keep it up in the second half?
The way that they were playing in the first month-plus of the season, it looked like the Dallas Cowboys would be lucky to be a .500 team at season’s end, that Wade Phillips would be lucky to have his job come January 4, 2010, and that Tony Romo would have to endure criticisms about his [...]
Favre leads Vikings to win, makes football fun again
Like it or not cheeseheads, the magic is back. And you have a date with it next Monday night. Brett Favre erased an otherwise forgettable second half of three-and-out’s, an interception, and a turnover on downs by throwing the game-winner against the San Francisco 49ers.

Early Top 10 Candidates for 2009 NFL MVP
There’s more lists filtering through this site than pop-up ads. It’s getting to that “awesomely ridiculous” stage. And I’m not complaining. God, no. I love it. What’s better than the actual NFL season? The answer is nothing, but a close second is the constant coverage it gets, despite being almost four months away. We have [...]
Ranking the NFL’s Head Coaches: The Top 16
Earlier, we gave the first half of our NFL head coach rankings, giving our take on the 16 ‘worst’ head coaches in the NFL. Several of those coaches in the bottom 16 could see themselves in the top 16 in a few years’ time with a few successful seasons, and all the same, some of [...]
How bad do the Vikings need Brett Favre?
Just last week, it seemed like a good possibility that it was only a matter of time before the Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre, but it‘s all going to come down to a shoulder X-ray that will decide whether Favre comes back as a Viking, or if he calls time on his career for good. [...]
