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 [...]
Commissioner Gary Bettman is at it again. He’s made his sport look dumb and everyone seems to turn their blind eye to it because the man who committed the misdeed is an agitator that has crossed him in the past.
The suspension of Sean Avery is a joke.
Sure, he made an “off-colour” remark about his ex-girlfriend [...]
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 [...]
Last night’s game absolutely infuriated me. It made me want to punch Marvin Lewis right in the face for being such a coward and an awful coach. Let me set the scene: Trailing 20-7 with under seven minutes remaining, the Bungles were within the Steelers 10-yard line and faced a fourth down decision. Well, let’s [...]
Firstly, how much respect did you lose for Donovan McNabb after learning that he doesn’t even know the rules to the sport that he’s playing? For me, I think he’s an idiot now. I had my doubts about his IQ after the whole clock management in the Super Bowl fiasco but this was just bad. [...]
A tie? Seriously? What bothers me more than the way that Philadelphia couldn’t hit a field goal within the 15 minutes of overtime — or score more than 13 points for that matter — is that now we’ll be subjected to the hopelessly annoying x-x-1 at the ends of the Eagles and Bengals records on [...]
Time is running down quickly for teams to solidify their chances to make the playoffs. What that means for us, the fans, is some fantastic efforts coming out of teams desperate to make the post-season as well as players on vacation-bound teams aiming for off-season free agency or contract incentives. Yes, that’s the sports world [...]
