Going into the 2008 season, the Dallas Cowboys were everybody's favorite to at least win their conference. They were coming off a season in which they were the No. 1 seed and had a first round bye, but lost at home to a wild card team that also happened to be a division foe. Once the '08 season started, the Cowboys justified these expectations. For the first few weeks anyway. A midseason ...

There are few momentous sporting events that take place in our lifetime that we have the privilege to witness firsthand. The Miami Dolphins completing their perfect season of 1972. Mark McGwire and then Barry Bonds breaking the single season home run record (before we knew how they were able to). Pretty much everything Michael Jordan ever did (except for his hall of fame speech). This Sunday will see another of those as the Brett ...

For those of you who are looking to be particular NFL players but don't want to spend a whole lot, I offer up these following suggestions... Just go around punching people out and say you're Raiders coach Tom Cable (and those of you who like props, pick up a pair of boxing gloves) Dawn a Peyton Manning jersey and (if you're at an office party) aggravate your boss and say you're ...

Going into this season, records of 6-0 and 0-6 did not seem like too much of a stretch for the Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncosùexcept it was supposed to be the other way around. The Titans, coming off of a league best 13-3 record were expected by most to not only return to the playoffs, but advance in them. The Denver Broncos are coming off an offseason that had even more drama ...

After five weeks of the NFL season, there are four teams still winless and five with only one win.á Some are familiar (Oakland, Detroit, Cleveland) and some are shocking (Tennessee and, depending who you are, Carolina).á But in ranking the bottom of pack, how can we really tell who is the worst. Should it be number of wins?á Usually yes.á But some of those teams with one win won games ...

Sure, 30 may be the new 20 and hitting the big 4-0 is no longer as old as it used to be.á But for the NFL, you pretty much have to double those years to equate age.á For running backs, hitting 30 is more dreaded than reaching 40, 50, or even up to 100.Being a wide receiver it's not as bad, but they will most likely start getting less looks ...

When I heard Brett Favre would be starring in a commercial poking fun at his ôinabilityö (the nicest word I can put it) to make decisions in life, I thought to myself, ôOkay, good, the guy is at least poking fun at himself.öá But after reneging on retiring the second straight year (this time waiting until the team actually plays a preseason game), the commercial now looks redundant and pointless.á á For ...

Redskins head coach Jim Zorn was not hired the normal way.á He was hired as an offensive coordinator to the team before they had a head coach.á After looking and failing to find a worthy candidate, Zorn was promoted to the position With that said, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder doesn't exactly handle things the normal way.á Here is someone who fires a coach in the middle of the year with three ...

Okay, let’s get this out of the way. Yes, Michael Vick participated in the murdering of dogs and is now reinstated. And the league does have to do some public relations for this sensitive subject.    And yes, I realize that from a marketing standpoint, a company must advertise its product during a program that will have a significant amount of viewers to at least be informed of it.    And of course, saving ...

On Saturday, December 20, the Dallas Cowboys took to the field for the last time at their home of Texas Stadium to play the Baltimore Ravens.  At the beginning of the season, it seemed the football gods smiled down on the Cowboys by scheduling the Baltimore Ravens, a team with a first year head coach and quarterback as the last opponent they would play in the stadium. Coming in ...
