The writing is on the wall in Denver, and it seems as though both Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler have played their last game in the Bronco blue and orange, which should be fine with the fans.á Marshall and Scheffler clearly are not interested in this team or in hopping ...

With 18 seconds remaining in the second quarter of Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Oakland Raiders, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco took a third-down snap and dropped back to pass, not knowing that the footsteps he made in the ensuing six seconds would potentially change the NFL's use of instant replay in future seasons. Flacco evaded pressure from the Raiders defense and started to scramble toward the ...

On Tuesday, Mike Holmgren will meet with Eric Mangini to discuss his future. If retained, this would be an odd marriage. In pro football, there are two big family trees.

And there it is. Another Texan season ends in Week 17.á That was anti-climatic.á I really struggled with what to write about. I mean, there will be plenty of time to talk about what went right and what went wrong. We will spend countless hours talking about what next season means to Kubiak now that McNair said he will be back. We will analyze every option in the running game from Slaton to Foster ...
