NFL Monday

I hope your team still has it's quarterback. Or a good backup. I hope you still have your best players on the field, period. The NFL season is as much about luck than anything, especially when it comes to injuries. And the injuries to key players are starting to add up. Peyton Manning of the Colts...

Here's the kicker about pro football, or any other football for that matter. You had better have a good placekicker if you want to win. The teams in the league are so evenly matched that points are at a premium. Take today for example. The Bears had the Falcons beat. They squib kicked. The Falcons... Sign in to see full entry.

It's what Barack Obama is preaching. If what we've seen in this NFL season is a portent, change may not be a bad thing. Take the team which represents Capitol Hill for example. The Washington Redskins have a new coach in Jim Zorn. He was brought in as offensive coordinator and was hired as head... Sign in to see full entry.

We have a local paper that likes to rank the teams in the NFL every week from one to 32. Why, I have no idea. If there is one thing we know, especially after last season, it's that no one should be ranked, because the championship is decided on the field. However, everyone wants to think they know...

He is the player of the week in the NFL. Period. Why, you may ask? Because he did something that hasn't been done in pro football in, ohhh, 85 years or so. Ronnie Brown of the Miami Dolphins ran for four touchdowns and threw a TD pass in a victory over the New England Patriots. A game in which the... Sign in to see full entry.

Ahhh, the life of an NFL coach. I'm sitting here watching the Stillers-Browns game. Cleveland just blew an opportunity for points by poor clock management and taking a shot at the endzone with eight seconds left. Stillers intercept and lead at the half 7-0.

Especially on opening day of the NFL season. All of that work in minicamp, training camp and the preseason seems like it was for nothing. And that zero under the win column looms larger very week, because you don't know when you're going to get a victory. Ask last years Miami Dolphins. So for half... Sign in to see full entry.

Being Mr. Karma, himself, I should have been able to predict the Giants Super Bowl victory of the Pats last year, becasue of "Spygate". Well, this year, I will start the season by choosing my Super Bowl teams using nothing more than a little karma. So here goes: NFC East: 1. Cowboys: Jerry Jones,... Sign in to see full entry.

Every football season teaches us something. As fans we experience the highest of highs when our team wins and suffer the lowest of lows when they lose. For five months we watch as 32 teams fight it out for the Vince Lombardi Trophy of which only one can win. We get too down on our teams when they... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm speechless. Between bites of crow, I just don't know what to say. My nephew has already called and asked if he can get some respect. I said yes, no question. Another nephew called and quoted Al Pacino in "Any Given Sunday". "And that's football". So true. My nephew the Patriot fan is probably in... Sign in to see full entry.
