The murder of Sean Taylor earlier this week really took the breath out of me as well as the rest of the NFL. There is a long road ahead to find the suspects and bring them to justice. An even longer journey is ahead for Taylor’s family to overcome the sting and loss of this […]

Ok, ok,  I’m a believer.
Yes, I’ve been impressed with Chicago Bears return wizard Devin Hester since he exploded into the league last year as a rookie. He scored six return TD’s which set an NFL record. This included a 108-yard return on a missed field goal which leaves five kickoff and punt return TD’s which […]

Fred Mabson, a local restaurant owner, said that he was a kid who “had no advantage in any way, shape, or form. His parents were not wealthy.” Which would explain the small vague house across from the old town cemetary.
Rick Koceja, a sixth grade P.E. teacher, called him a typical boy who was “a little hyper. Very […]

As the 2007 season enters Week 12, one can expect another cascade of unpredictable NFL football to come pouring into TV sets all over the country and bring with it a rush of adrenaline and anticipation.
Some division races are still lukewarm, some are simmering, and then there are others that are at a full boil. And, […]

Has everyone survived? How many hospital visits were there? Does anyone still have a headache? I hope there weren’t any panic attacks. What about alcohol consumption? Did anyone go overboard watching their team?
Week 11 provided enough moments to turn any non-alcoholic into an AA president.
This league continues to amaze me. Who would have thought that there […]

As I’ve been following the news around the NFL this week, I keep finding myself being captivated by the teams that are announcing who their starting QB will be this week. Due to injuries and tempermental or lukewarm performances, there are many teams this season that simply don’t have the luxury of having a steadfast QB.
I can understand injuries […]

Peyton Manning threw 6 interceptions.
Adam Vinatieri missed a 42 AND 29-yard field goal…in the same game!
And, I think I heard that the sand and salt trucks are out in full force along the roads of Hell.
I watched the game last night, and it looked like I was watching a rookie QB facing the #1 defense in the […]

Unless you’ve recently suffered a head injury which makes you spontaneously mutter like Rain Man whenever someone turns on an electronic device, you know that this has been one of the most exciting NFL seasons in recent history if not ever.
Who would have thought that in the first half of the season, Tom Brady would […]

Oh, how I love the NFL!
Every season, there is at least one week that so captures the embodiment of the National Football League that it’s just breathtaking.
Week 9 was stuffed with huge plays, massive hits, unexpected blowouts, overtime drama, key injuries, and crystal pure aggression while being sprinkled with irony, old-style smashmouth football, and history. […]

IT’S finally here…the biggest regular-season game I can remember, and I started watching the NFL during Super Bowl X (Lynn Swann, anybody?).
 So, with my Top 10 Power Poll on hold (because, let’s face it, there aren’t 10 really good teams out there), I thought I’d throw in my 28 cents (that’s 2 cents, with inflation added […]
