Tebow Should Take His Talents to Jacksonville
Tim Tebow is FINALLY freed from the New York Jets. The team acknowledged that the one-year experiment failed in letting the popular – yet polarizing – backup QB go. Head coach Rex Ryan said as much: “We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow. Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we […]
49ers-Seahawks Is the New Steelers-Ravens
Move over Pittsburgh and Baltimore, there is a new and nasty rivalry in town. Say hello to San Francisco and Seattle, whose rivalry is not only the Steelers-Ravens of the NFC (let alone the NFC West), but just may have taken the torch from Pittsburgh and Baltimore as the best rivalry in the NFL. Follow […]
Alex Smith Trade a Win-Win for 49ers and Chiefs
Alex Smith was traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this afternoon. The 49ers received the Chiefs’ second round pick from this year’s draft as well as another conditional mid-round pick in 2014. Now there are a lot of cynical fans who look at this trade and think the Chiefs […]
The Time Has Come for the Redskins to Change its Name, but…
In a day-long symposium last Thursday at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, a number of hurtful names and racial stereotypes in sports were discussed. Among them were the nicknames of sports teams in America. And as expected, the Washington Redskins took center stage during the symposium. For those who do not know, […]
Joe Flacco Is Officially Elite
Congratulations Joe, and welcome to the elite NFL QB club. Flacco led the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII, and trust me when I say that he earned the Super Bowl MVP award. His stats: 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns. Needless […]
Russell Wilson Should Have Won Offensive ROY Award
On the eve of the Super Bowl, a travesty of enormous proportions took place last night. No, I don’t mean Jerome Bettis Hall of Fame candidacy being snubbed for the third year in a row, though the Steelers fan in me is still scratching my head over that one. The 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of […]
Ray Lewis Should Man Up to Questioning
Ray Lewis had built his reputation on taking on obstacles head-on, whether it was blockers or ball-carriers, during his illustrious 17-year NFL career. Too bad he has been dodging other obstacles like Walter Payton in his prime during Super Bowl week. Lewis had been peppered with questions concerning his role in the double-murder in Atlanta […]
Super Bowl XLVII Preview
Super Bowl XLVII is here, and that means one thing: this is the last game of the 2012 NFL season. *Weeping and gnashing of teeth* At any rate, this Super Bowl has lots of storylines – perhaps you all have heard of them. John and Jim Harbaugh being the first set of brothers who are […]
2013 NFL Conference Championship Preview
Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots I, as many sports fans, am looking forward to this matchup for a couple of reasons. First of all, this is a rematch. Second, these two teams are starting to really – and I mean REALLY – hate each other. What makes this hate different is that the Ravens […]
2013 NFL Divisional Round Preview
What a crap-duster last weekend’s games were! With the exception of the Seattle-Washington game, the wildcard games were rendered unwatchable within the first few minutes of their respective 1st quarters. And don’t get me started on the Vikings-Packers and Bengals-Texans games. Ewww. Hopefully the divisional round will provide us with better games than the wildcard […]
