Indianapolis Colts
Heading into Week 15, it appeared as if two NFL teams would finish the 2009 season with an undefeated record. The Saints and the Colts were red-hot and had soft schedules in the final few weeks of the '09 campaign.
Neither team managed to accomplish the feat.
But while the Saints fell victim to poor ...
Saying It Again: Why Chris Johnson Is the NFL MVP
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by David Xaviel is the Real Mr. X in NFL
I previously wrote a short article in which I stated that I think halfback Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans is the MVP of the NFL.
I said that in belief that Johnson would pass 2,000 rushing yards, which he has just done against the Seattle Seahawks.
Not only that, but Johnson also broke the NFL record for yards from scrimmage set by Marshall Faulk for the St. Louis Rams in 1999.

Playoff Bound! New York Jets Take Care Of Business and Humiliate Bengals, 37-0!
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Nick Antonicello in NFL
Taking care of business, everyday.
Taking care of business, every way.
Taking care of business is exactly what the New York Jets did as they shutdown the Cincinnati Bengals 37-0 in the swirling winds of the Meadowlands Sunday evening,á as the curtain came down one last time onáthis 34-year old facility.
TheáJets closed Giants Stadium in a way the New YorkáGiants could not. They continued their December hot streak by providing constant ...
As the Cleveland Cavaliers begin the 2010 portion of their 40th season in the NBA, not much has gone unnoticed. Boasting the Eastern Conference's best record (27-9) and two future Hall of Fame players has placed the Cavs directly under the sports media microscope all season.
This season, the Cavs feature one of the biggest, broadest frontlines in the NBA: Two seven-footers in Shaquille O'Neal and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, a 6'11" hustle ...

The 2009 NFL season started with a bang.
The Denver Broncos trailed the Cincinnati Bengals with just a few seconds remaining. In what could only be labeled as a miracle, newly acquired Denver quarterback Kyle Orton heaved a pass down the left sideline. Enveloped in a sea of orange jerseys, Cincinnati cornerback Leon Hall deflected the pass up in ...
Who Do the Vikings Want To Play in the Second Round?
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by JP Frederick in NFL
Someone send some champagne to the Cowboys, will ya? Some fancy stuff, twenty bucks ought to cover it.áThank the Giants for leaving their hearts in New York, too.
While there is justified bliss over Sunday's results, and everyone should celebrate in one way or another (be it donkey-punching a friend or drinking paint thinner until tomorrow's sun goes down), it is hard to dissect a hollow win over a Giants team ...
Houston Texans’ First Winning Season: Reason To Celebrate?
Posted: 3rd January 2010 by Vik Vij in NFL
Before we get started, let me ask you to excuse my lack of writing recently.á I started a new job and had my wisdom teeth pulled.á
These were both very positive changes in my life, but didn't leave me much time to write about our beloved Houston Texans.
With that being said, let's get back to business.á
Should we celebrate the team's first winning season?á
Absolutely, we should!á This is a team who has ...

1. (1) Indianapolis Colts (14-2)
As expected, the Colts' starters didn't see much actionáin snowy Buffalo, and so Peyton and the boys will enter theirádivisional playoffácontest on Jan. 16 or 17 without having won a game in 30 or 31 days.á Still, I can't see ranking Indy anywhere but first because they remain undefeated with the first line on the field.á No one else can say that.

HereÆs my take on the SteelersÆ27-24 victory against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon:
1. Rejoice, Steelers World, you can tell your grandkids that you witnessed the biggest letdown season in franchise history!
Well, name a bigger one then.
In 2006, the Steelers tanked as the defending Super Bowl champions, but this season ranks worse than that one. A lot worse.
The æ06 team opened the season with a lame-duck head coach (Bill ...
