The Pro Bowl came and went this week with barely a ripple in the world of the NFL. Here are the highlights and lowlights as I saw them.
Highlights:
DeSean Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles – This kid is all of 21 years old and has a promising career ahead of him. His enthusiasm on [...]

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 [...]

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.
The winning idea was submitted [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
Unlike last week, Week 15 was very good to [...]

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 [...]
