The 5 NFL Teams Most Likely To Implode
I am not a contrarian. I don’t simply say things because I think it will spark outrage; I try to look at things from a realistic and logical point of view and then present my views. I have to say, however, that some people will clearly be outraged by the teams that I will suggest and will even try to state facts and figures that speak to the contrary of my views. That being said, I am not trying to stir the pot of fandom. I believe that (for the most part) franchises are where they are for a reason. Some teams handle player personnel and free agency correctly, they know how to work the…
The Super Bowl ‘X’ Factor
What should be a tough, closely contested affair might end up coming down to whether or not a yellow object is thrown at a critical time in the game – and I don’t mean a Terrible Towel or a cheese hat.
What Super Bowl Match-up Do You Want?
I can’t lie, my enthusiasm for the NFL started to wane considerably towards the end of the regular season. Maybe because the suspense in seeing who would qualify for the post-season was virtually non-existent, or my fantasy football team was so disappointing, but I sort of mentally checked out by week fifteen. But that’s in the past. With the exception of the Chiefs-Ravens and Bears-Seahawks, every playoff game has been, if you will excuse the hyperbole, absolutely riveting. Some might regard the Packers-Falcons as a bit of a flop, but anytime I can watch a quarterback absolutely decimate a home team like Rodgers did on Saturday night, I’m never going to want for anything more…

The Ravens defense had Roethlisberger in check and the offense had control of the game. But like most great coaching staffs, adjustments were made at half time. The Steelers took charge with 24 points in the second half, while their defense only allowed a field goal. “He may not be (Tom) Brady or all those other guys, but when I see him in the huddle I know we’ve got a chance to win,” said Hines Ward, who caught a TD pass in the second half. “He’s a proven winner,…
Gridiron Experts Power Rankings Week 8
Strange days in the NFL this past weekend. Let’s summarize the NFL side of things with some power rankings. 1) Pittsburgh Steelers They stole Sunday’s game on one of the worst botched (reviewed) calls I can remember, but that shouldn’t be a surprise because this is the Steelers. They lead the league in benefiting from terrible officiating over the past fifty years. Never the less, even if that call hadn’t gone in their favor, they would still retain the top spot. I know, I’m not happy about it either. 2) New York Jets We might as well just accept the fact that this team is elite, even if it is by default due to…
