The Indianapolis Colts ended their perfect season against the New York Jets this Sunday.  The rookie head coach made his decision to to pull his starters in the third quarter, and the Jets capitalized.  Personally, I have no issue with the decision but with the fans who booed the decision.
Each and every season, everyone becomes [...]

The 2010 regular season is almost over. Week 15 did not disappoint. From the hard fought division game on Thursday night to the shocking upset on Saturday night to the other shocking upset Sunday night, the weekend was packed with big surprises and great games.

Interesting week in professional sports this week.  As the NFL marches relentlessly toward the playoffs, there were some big developments from the other corners of the sports world.
The big news was a blockbuster trade in Major League Baseball.  The woefully bad Toronto Blue Jays traded away their one bright spot – pitcher Roy Halladay, in [...]

Pittsburgh lost to Cleveland? Cleveland?!? What has happened to the Super Bowl champs?

It is [...]

I can’t believe we’re 13 weeks into the regular season already! With only a month to go until the playoffs the separation between the top teams and the next tier seems to be getting smaller, setting up some exciting playoff scenarios. But the best of the best are still miles away from the [...]

A season that I have criticized over and over again for boring fights really has turned that around in the past few weeks.  The season finale is no exception to this rule.  Spike TV aired the TUF finisher for free.  The fans got to experience why PPV viewers pay big bucks.
The first fight was between [...]

NFL Week 12

December 2nd, 2009 – 9:16 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Week 12 is over and done. This week we saw what makes the great teams great and the bad teams not at all great.
The Indianapolis Colts dropped 17 points behind the Houston Texans in the early going.  But they stayed composed. Nobody panicked;  the game plan remained unchanged.  By the time the final whistle blew, [...]
