NFL Conference Championships

January 25th, 2010 – 11:19 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

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 [...]

NFL Playoffs

January 20th, 2010 – 10:15 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

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 [...]

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.

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.  [...]

NFL Wild Card Weekend

January 12th, 2010 – 9:43 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

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 [...]

NFL Week 17

January 6th, 2010 – 11:15 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

Week 17 closed out the NFL regular season in an exciting fashion. The scheduling geniuses at the NFL outdid themselves this year as an unprecedented three out of four Wildcard games will be rematches of the regular season finales. I don’t know how they planned that out a year in advance, but it’s [...]

The Worst Role Models

January 4th, 2010 – 11:05 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

It has been twenty years since Charles Barkley so infamously and accurately declared, “I am not a role model”.  Now Gilbert Arenas is the latest professional athlete to demonstrate beyond any doubt that he is, in fact, not a role model.  By pulling a gun on a teammate over an alleged gambling debt, Arenas has [...]

NFL Week 16

January 1st, 2010 – 8:58 am Posted by Ronald A. Rowe

The… Bucs… beat… the… Saints.  Sorry, I had trouble forcing my fingers to type that sentence.  I’m a firm believer in the “Any given Sunday” rule.  Simply put, any team in the NFL can beat any other team on any given Sunday.  I believe that; I really do.
But I didn’t believe [...]
