Hard to believe itÆs Week 17 and after this weekend there will only be 11 NFL games remaining. After The LiverÆs much deserved Roman style Christmas vacation, itÆs back to work.
This should be the worst week of the season with no less than EIGHT of the 16 games this week meaning absolutely nothing. Of the remaining eight games, seven feature teams that need to win for either playoff positioning or ...
Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers: Future Joe Montana, Steve Young?
Posted: 1st January 2010 by Ryan Cook in NFL
1991, a year before I was born, marked one of the greatest transitions in football. For those that were alive to see it, would remember it as a sore point among not only San Francisco 49er fans, but NFL fans nationwide.
Steve Young was just the backup guy, the one that no one thought about. After spending years on the bench behind the 'The Great One', Young finally got his ...

It’s officially the new year. With 2009 in the rearview mirror and 2010 upon us, it’s time to take a look at the Houston Astros probable bench for this coming season.

As the New Year begins and the football season comes to a close, one cannot help but look back to the beginning of the season, and even the year, when the Broncos were entrenched in one of the most attention-getting and controversial offseasons in franchise history.
The Broncos had fired long-time head coach Mike Shanahan and in mid-January hired former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to replace Shanahan at ...
Most educated NFL fans remember what took place under the darkness in Baltimore on March 29, 1984. The Colts were on their way out of Baltimore and headed to Indianapolis, their new home. Ask any Baltimore fan how they felt about that, and I'm sure you will understand where this is going.
With the recent troubles affecting the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise, as well as a few others (Detroit, St. Louis, Buffalo) ...
New year, new Nate? Perhaps that was the hope of New York coach Mike D'Antoni tonight when he removed Nate Robinson from his doghouse. The point guard responded by pouring in 41 points as New York won a 112-108 overtime thriller in Atlanta. Robinson, who was fined $25,000 earlier in the week after his agent publicly requested that the Knicks trade him, played 48 minutes and connected on ...

Posted: 1st January 2010 by Justin P. Bolinger in NFL
Philadelphia's newest (and possibly fastest-rising) icon stands only 5' 10" and weighs a measly 175 pounds. Coming out of the University of California, DeSean Jackson was supposedly too fragile and had too big of an ego to survive in the NFL. But don't remind the other 31 teams that passed on the opportunity to draft him a little over a year and a half ago.
Because they all wish they ...
It's no secret that the 2010 Pro Bowl voting is somewhat a popularity contest, especially among the fans. Not every player that is deserving gets selected, and many overrated and over-hyped players do.
The 2010 Pro Bowl rosters are now out , and although the fans, coaches and players got many of the selections right, there is still a decent number of snubs.
These are the 10 most-glaring snubs in my book.Begin ...
Toronto Maple Leafs Head Into the New Year with New Hope, Bright Future.
Posted: 1st January 2010 by Eric Warren in NHL
Some time ago (April 1st, 2009), Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke issued a statement that missing the playoffs in a "hockey mad" city, was like being kicked in the groin. At the time, no Burke led team had failed to make the playoffs for seven years.
He did go on to say the Leafs can and will spend to the cap and will be looking to get back into the ...
