I was saddened to hear that former NFL linebacker Junior Seau died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found by his girlfriend in their Oceanside, California home with a wound to his chest area. This was especially close to home for me, being he was a former USC linebacker. This was a shock to every close [...]

Unfortunately for Gregg Williams, I think “suspended indefinitely” could become “suspended permanently” after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell gets the chance to sit down and systematically go through the sound of the Saints game vs. the Niners this past season. His timing couldn’t be worse as the NFL turns up the focus on concussion injuries. Documentary filmmaker [...]

Many Texans not happy with Ryans trade

On the surface, it would seem that the Houston Texans motivation for moving two-time Pro Bowl LB DeMeco Ryans to the Philadelphia Eagles was based on business. They only got a fourth-round pick (plus the swap of the thirds), but cleared some $6 million in cap space off the books for this year. So [...]

Peyton Manning Is The LeBron James Of The NFL: A Choker In Big Games

All the Peyton Manning talk is over the top. Whichever team gets him isn’t going to win a Super Bowl. Manning isn’t a big game quarterback. He plays his best football during the regular season, not in the playoffs. Remember he has won only one Super Bowl and threw two interceptions in that game and [...]

Superbowl XLVI Should Be Remembered As “The Mediocre Bowl”

Once again Eagle fans are forced to watch the rival NY Giants celebrate a Superbowl championship. On Sunday night mediocrity reigned supreme in the NFL as the 9-7 Giants became the first team in NFL history to win a Superbowl with that record. The Giants finished a measly 1 win better than the Eagles in the [...]

Little Brother Eli Manning Outduels The Great Tom Brady, Again

The door was open for the Patriots but Tom Brady couldn’t get the ball to a wide open Wes Welker. Welker got two hands on the football but couldn’t bring it in. The Giants Eli Manning on the other hand made all the throws. That throw by Manning and the catch by Mario Manningham was perfection. [...]

Overconfidence Will Cost The Giants Versus The Patriots

When the Giants qualified for the Super Bowl a couple of weeks ago by beating the Niners on a Sunday night after the Patriots had got the win over the Ravens, I was of the belief that New York was on their way to being Super Bowl Champions. With the game just hours away now, I’ve [...]

This is a rematch from a few years back when the Giants upset that undefeated Patriots team which was led by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. This year’s Patriots team is much different from the stand point that offensively their tight ends play a major role as receivers. They don’t have Randy Moss so they’re [...]

Brian Dawkins was named to his ninth Pro Bowl on Thursday as an injury replacement for the Steelers’ Troy Polamalu, his second Pro Bowl selection since joining the Denver Broncos. He is now tied with John Lynch for the second-most career Pro Bowl berths by a safety. This could, however, be Dawkins’ last game as [...]

The Haves (Pats & Giants) And The Have Nots (Our Eagles)

They say making a push for the Super Bowl is all about getting hot at the right time. The New York Giants are certainly proof of that, winning their last 5 straight after a somewhat tumultuous regular season that saw them eek by the Eagles and Cowboys for the NFC East crown. The Patriots, well, they’ve [...]
