NFL Monday

Who needs soap operas when the NFL reality show is on every week from September to February? Who needs to live in the fantasy world of "The Young and the Restless" when we have Tennesse Titans quarterback Vince Young melting down after he was taken out of today's loss to the Washington Redskins....

Forget about the Jaguars Hail Mary pass to beat the Texans 30-24 as time expired. Nevermind the Jets Santonio Holmes scoring a touchdown to beat the Browns with less than a minute to play in overtime in the Rex vs. Rob Ryan Bowl. So what if the 49ers beat the Rams in another overtime thriller 20-17.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Top 100 Countdown of the greatest players in NFL history ended Thursday night with hall of fame wide receiver Jerry Rice topping the list. This was kind of a surprise, because most people, including myself, thought that it would be Cleveland Brown hall of fame running back Jim Brown. The list... Sign in to see full entry.

Quarterback Brett Favre started again today despite a broken ankle as the Minnesota Vikings went into Foxboro and lost to the New England Patriots 28-18.

The Ravens and Steelers met once again in the NFL's best rivalry today. The Ravens won 17-14 on a TD with 32 seconds to play. I'm not happy about it as a Steelers fan, but the loss and the closeness of the game doesn't surprise me. The last five times these teams have met in the regular season the... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, so the NFL wants to add two more games to the regular season schedule by 2012. At least the owners do. They want to cut the preseason from four games to two, because fans aren't attending these exhibition games and teams aren't playing their starters for fear of injury. The truth of the matter...

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is only in his fourth year, but he is much wiser than his years. He and the team have a saying which they use to describe the business of pro football that they are in. "No excuses. No explanations." Simply put find a way to win. Nevermind the fact that...
