There is a scene near the end of the movie Good Will Hunting, where Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is talking with Chucky, (Ben Affleck) and they are on a construction site discussing their future paths. Will is the gifted one who could be making tons of money doing advanced mathematics, but instead he would rather hang out with his friends who are not as educated and do not have ...

I will start by saying this, unlike many of the columns you have read online, I actually listen to the Rush Limbaugh show. Am I a fan of everything says? No, and I do not really like it when he brings up race. Do I agree with some of the things he says? Yes, and I would wager that some of you who do not like him would agree to ...

We have hit the first-quarter pole. Week Four is when the coaches can really jump into new categories. Jeff Fisher had the largest decline due to his teamÆs embarrassing effort against the Jaguars. Lovie Smith and Marvin Lewis keep rising while Tom Cable and Dick Jauron fall directly to the bottom. Remember, just because a coach has one or two good weeks, it does not mean that he gets catapulted to ...

Week three is when this list starts to move. Two coaches moved themselves out of jeopardy, while others are back on the hot seat. But, only one coach has moved himself to the very bottom. That honor belongs to Jim Zorn. The Lions may look better than last year, that does not give you the right to lose to them. Remember, just because a coach has one or ...

Week two of the coaches ranking brought us some surprises, a new number one, a new man at the bottom and some small changes in between. Remember, just because a coach has one or two good weeks, it does not mean that he gets catapulted to the top. This is a marathon not a sprint. Although, for some coaches in 2009, the season is getting away much faster than they thought.   ALREADY ...

Welcome to the NFL Coaches Ranking. This will be a weekly series that will rank each of the 32 head coaches in the NFL. There are so many who do a great job with the team power rankings, I thought it would be interesting to size up each NFL coach and rank them based on record, decision-making, past performance in big games and even Coors Light press conference moments. The rankings take ...

We've played only game of the 2009 NFL season and the first overtime game has already taken place. The Pittsburgh Steelers won the coin toss and marched down the field for the game-winning field goal. The Tennessee Titans never got to touch the ball on offense. I am not sure how anyone can be a fan of the current overtime system unless their team won the game. I know many will ...

Week one of the NFL season is the fabulous week when we really don't know much at all. I can describe week one the best with a saying a high school history teacher once passed on to me: "It's what you learn after you think you know it all that really counts."  I call week one the week of Frisman Jackson. For those of who you do not remember wide receiver Frisman ...
