An amazing thing has happened: Going into the last week of the NFL season, RTP’s picks have already surpassed its’ win total for all of the 2009 season.
This season: 129-96-3
Last season: 126-101-8
Of course this now means that I will completely blow this week and the playoffs because of this bragging, but at it had to [...]

The Winter Olympic Games are just around the corner and that means the NHL will stop working and send its best players to out to represent their countries. The other 90% or so, they get a two week break with maybe a practice or two in the middle of the season. While I’m sure many [...]

There’s always something crazy happening in The Association, like Ron Artest falling down his own stairs, but two stories have stood out for their wackiness this week. Vinny Del Negro claiming he won’t be fired and Tracy McGrady’s leave from the Houston Rockets.
First, it really goes to show Del Negro’s lack of general awareness to [...]

The Colts have made it abundantly clear that they care more about resting their players to keep them fresh and uninjured for the games that matter the most, the post-season. But this year’s decision to rest Peyton Manning and the other top dogs on the Colts hurt the fans even more so. Why? Because it [...]

Could you imagine being a San Diego Charger and being forced to sit out your family’s Christmas dinner because you’re playing on Dec. 25? Not only will they be playing on the holiest night of the year, they’re across the country from their home, playing in Nashville, Tennessee. Why couldn’t the NFL put together a [...]

There’s been plenty of movement in baseball’s free agent market, but two of the top-three free agents still haven’t signed on with a team. Only John Lackey’s free agency fate has been decided while Matt Holliday and Jason Bay are still looking for work. It’s not like they’ll be without teams for long, but I [...]

There was a huge touch of irony that after the Cowboys cut their kicker, Nick Folk, for missing a chip-shot 24-yard field goal that would have essentially clinched a game against New Orleans, they signed a new kicker who had lost his previous job for the exact same reason – Sean Suisham.
I’m not sure how [...]

I wouldn’t be so quick to rush to judgement after Dallas’ big win on Saturday night over the previously undefeated New Orleans. The Saints are still a great team, ready to contend for the Super Bowl, and the Cowboys are still playing in December. Just because they’ve won a game, doesn’t mean we can certainly [...]

Was there really a doubt during last night’s game that the Colts were going to lose? You could tell the second that the Jaguars came out and punched them in the nose that Indy wasn’t going to back down and rest their starters. Maybe this Colts team will go for 19-0, or maybe they just [...]

It’s always the toughest to write about somebody passing away, especially at a long age. With Bengals receiver, it’s even a bit harder for me, considering that we’re the same age. Granted, I don’t know what would lead him to get into the back of a moving pickup truck and what Henry and his fiancée [...]
