Hooray for the Tuna!

Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells has quietly won the first battle with wide receiver Terell Owens. The Cowboys will play the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night football and T.O., after missing the first pre season game with a hamstring injury, is back on the practice field. He usually does...

Former Pittsburgh Steeler fullback Jerome Bettis is on NBC television now and last night during halftime of the Washington-Cincinnati pre season game, he was booed by Bengals fans as he showed them his Super Bowl ring(Bettis also said that he thinks Steelers coach Bill Cowher will retire at the end...

I hate the referees....

new jersies that is. The wide black stripe and V neck just does not do it for me. Go back to the traditionals and do it quick. Well, if you don't already know, the first preseason game of the 2006 NFL season was played last night with the Eagles and Raiders playing in the Hall of Fame game. The game...

Before I Go

At the beginning of the year, I did a quick thoughts blog on the upcoming '05 season. Before I close this blog for the season, it's time to pay the piper. AFC East: Patriots: If any team can win three straight, this is it. 10-6. Round of eight. About as much as could be expected. Jets: As long as... Sign in to see full entry.

Super Stillers!

Now, I believe. Despite no first downs in the first quarter. Despite two interceptions thrown by Big Ben. Despite running for less than 100 yards if you take away the 75 yard TD by Willie Parker. I believe. Because the Commissioner just gave the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Dan Rooney. My nephew who is... Sign in to see full entry.

Road Warriors!

The Pittsburgh Stillers went into Denver and proved that last weeks victory over the Indianapolis Colts was not an upset by dominationg the Broncos, 34-17. The best team in the AFC is going to the Super Bowl. The hard way. The Stillers went in as a number six seed and beat the top three seeds on the... Sign in to see full entry.

A Hollow Victory

Well, my Pittsburgh Stillers pulled of what many, including me, said that they wouldn't. They went into Indiannapolis and defeated the Colts 21-18 in a game that really wasn't that close. Am I surprised? No. The Stillers play better when they have a chip on their shoulder. When I doubt them, that's... Sign in to see full entry.

Are You Experienced?

That seemed to be the theme for this past weekends wildcard playoff games. The teams with the playoff experience won. The teams without, did not. Let's take a look. Starting in the NFC, the Washington Redskins went down to Tampa and beat the Bucs with a strong defensive effort and little or no... Sign in to see full entry.

Full Plate

Had to wait until Tuesday, because so much goes on after the final games of the regular season. Playoff outlook will come later in the week. Let's start with the games themselves. We had a lot going on this past Sunday. Brett Favre played in what may be his last game as quarterback of the Green Bay... Sign in to see full entry.
