For a team that’s supposedly divided down to the core, the Cowboys played one hell of a game against the Giants last night. After all the talk of the Witten-Romo vs. T.O. and the rest of the wide outs saga was the story of the week, Dallas held down the fort and disposed of the [...]
I guess someone forgot to tell Pierre Thomas that you’re not supposed to be able to run against the Bears. I guess they just overlooked them because they hadn’t heard about him before. In fairness, I overlooked him too, starting Reggie Bush over Thomas as a runningback in one of my fantasy playoffs.
Now for this [...]
Well, the CC Sabathia sweepstakes have been won by the team that we knew would win them all along, the Yankees. And all it took was the richest pitching contract in the history of baseball. At seven years and $161 million, he’ll never live up to that kind of price. I just want to know [...]
Maybe the whole Plaxico mess has gotten to the Giants’ heads. The team that’s been as error-free as possible so far this season (with the exception of the Cleveland game) put on a gaffe-filled show against Philadelphia yesterday. Dropped passes and missed opportunities were all over the place and bad decisions — like having Antonio [...]
You really don’t remember how bad the Raiders actually are until you actually sit and watch them play. Because there will always be a better game on Sundays to view and Oakland isn’t going to be getting any Monday night dates any time soon, there isn’t really much of a chance to view this hapless [...]
It was so fun to write off some NFL teams from post-season contention that I figured why not have another look around and keep on counting people and teams out? Hey, it’s better than talking at any length about that snoozer of a Monday Night Football game last night, right? Seriously, the NFL has to [...]
Look, you can make all the excuses you want, but the fact is that the Buffalo Bills have fallen out of the race. Maybe someone should remind them that the NFL season is not a sprint, it’s a marathon — and a long, hard one at that. When you play — at home no less [...]
What a day for blowouts. Watching the Titans run all over the Lions was embarassing. I have no confidence in them to even cover a single game from here on out. The only realistic chance to get off the schnied and not join the 1976 Bucs as winless teams is next week against Minnesota. But [...]
While everyone north of the border who live in the “51st state” (like us here at Running The Point) may have celebrated Thanksgiving more than a month ago, our football games weren’t anything close to being entertaining. Thankfully, the CFL is over with until next spring and we can all concentrate on real games. I [...]
This Thursday’s Thanksgiving matchups had already lost their lustre a bit this season with Thursday night games already taking place for the past two weeks, but now we, the viewing public will be deprived of an amazing sight. Because the Jets went down to Tennessee and defeated the 10-0 Titans, we won’t see the first [...]
