My uneducated guess is that late on Sunday afternoon, in the Baltimore area and in the living rooms of Ravens fans everywhere, the name Billy Cundiff was probably shortened into a very similar sounding swear.
Later in the evening, across the country, San Francisco residents and 49ers fans were probably attaching a few nasty adjectives to [...]
It’s the second biggest day on the football calendar this Sunday, so let’s not mince words and just get to the picks.
NEW ENGLAND -7 over Baltimore
Let’s face it; there is no team that can cover the Patriots two amazing tight ends. If there was one, it could have been the Ravens of a few years [...]
This weekend in the NFL playoffs, no fewer than three massive bandwagons drove off the proverbial cliff and into the pit of elimination. That’s a lot of fair-weather fans that now have to decide on a new team to support for a couple of weeks, or just stop following the playoffs – but we know [...]
There are two big stats at play this week for picking NFL division round playoffs games – and I’m going to ignore both of them. Sure, that may seem unwise, but streaks, like rules, are made to be broken.
First, since this version of NFL playoff format started, over 70% of home teams won their divisional [...]
Can a team like the Denver Broncos use the oh-so-powerful idiom of “nobody believes in us,” when it has become clear that most of the world might be rooting for their quarterback?
Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos did it again on Sunday, stunning the heavily-favoured Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime and advancing to the next round [...]
Looking at the slate for wild card weekend, I couldn’t be more disappointed. There are really only 1.5 games out four that I truly want to watch: Saints-Lions and the second half of Giant-Falcons.
Let’s face it, unless you’re a huge fan of the teams in the AFC or a defensive nut, these two games will [...]
As a Cowboys fan, I hate the fact that the team’s season is coming down to the final game of it all. Especially against the Giants, who just came back in the fourth quarter to beat the Cowboys in Dallas in Week 14 thanks to a blocked field goal.
You just get the feeling that in [...]
The NFL has bestowed upon us the greatest early Christmas gift that they could possibly think of: A full slate of games on Christmas eve! It wouldn’t have been smart to jam pack a Sunday full of games when everybody is sitting down with their families. At least when the NBA does it, they’re back-to-back-to-back [...]
Week 15 is usually wacky week in the NFL. Underdogs do some strange things, like Indy winning its first game of the season against the supposedly good Titans. The Texans also looked pretty shabby against the lowly Panthers. But I don’t see these trends continuing.
Would the Colts really risk blowing their shot at Andrew Luck, [...]
This week we get our first taste of Saturday Night Football, with everybody’s favourite choke-artists, the Dallas Cowboys visiting the free falling Bucs. Don’t be surprised if/when Tampa Bay keeps things close and, or even has a chance to win, that seems to be Dallas’ M.O.
As a Cowboys fan, I could seriously do without all [...]
