This week the NFL offered up the best of the best, the creme de la creme, the elite teams that dominated their respective divisions all season long... and also the New York Jets.
To be fair, the Jets made a show of it. Early on, it looked like they were going to take it to the Indianapolis Colts. The Jets defense was stingy in the first half, limiting the Colts to a puny field goal for the first 28 minutes on Sunday. Unfortunately for the Jets, there are 30 minutes in a half.
At half-time, the naysayers were having a ball
NFL Playoffs
by Ronald A. Rowe January 20th, 2010 | Football, NFL
By 4 o'clock on Sunday, I was beginning to wonder why we even bother with the Wild Card round.
The Divisional Round Weekend of the NFL playoffs started with the Arizona Cardinals putting up an anemic effort against the well-rested New Orleans Saints. Whatever problems were plaguing the Saints as the season wore down were long gone by the start of Saturday's contest. One play into the game, the Cardinals looked like a real threat. The rest of the afternoon, they looked more like a punching bag.
Saturday night was even worse. Baltimore held tough for a quarter, but then

Best Sports Coach of All Time
by TK January 15th, 2010 | Basketball, NCAA
Over on Idea Offer, there was an idea request that asked the question, "Who is the greatest sports coach of all time ?" With such a broad arena to choose from, you can expect a wide array of answers. Professional, amateur, winter, summer, team, individual --- the options are almost limitless.
The winning idea was submitted by Penelope:
No one can equal the record and dignity of John Wooden. The Wizard of Westwood has to be the greatest.
It is hard to argue with that answer. Ten NCAA basketball championships, including seven in a row surely will

Super Bowl Predictions
by Joe Lawrence January 13th, 2010 | Football, NFL
At the risk of getting fired because my editor is a Patriots fan, the Patriot's dynasty is done. However, there are still plenty of great teams out there who can get the job done. However, only two can make it to the Super Bowl.
First off, Baltimore crushed the Patriot's with a 33-14 victory on Sunday. It really should have been 33-7, but the Ravens head coach declined to challenge a botched punt return that was recovered by New England, kind of. However, the Ravens proved that if you are going to step onto the field against them, you better

NFL Wild Card Weekend
by Ronald A. Rowe January 12th, 2010 | Football, NFL
There's a sweet, sweet fragrance in the air that can only mean one thing: NFL Playoff time! I love it so.
The Cowboys beat the Eagles... again. It wasn't much closer than it was a week ago. The Eagles were completely outplayed, out-coached, out-cheerleadered. The only thing that the birds had over the 'Boys was a better Wildcat QB. Did you see Michael Vick's eighty yard TD bomb? Despite the down time, despite the dog fighting, despite every reason not to like the guy, he'll be starting somewhere next year. But back to the winning team - the Cowboys, who
