Colt McCoy looks like Cleveland's quarterback of the future, but will still need a lot of help to finally get the Browns to the Super Bowl.
It’s the age old question that no one has ever asked; is it better to have gone (to the Super Bowl) and lost, or to have never gone at all? With Super Bowl XLVI just days away, neither the New E [...]

Is It Time to ‘Irsay’ the Magic?
With Dwight Howard’s impending departure and the Orlando Magic’s poor play as of late, should Magic owner Rich DeVos take the nuclear option and blow up his team the way Jim Irsay has done the Indianapolis Colts?
Irsay has gotten a lot of flack over recent weeks for the radical changes he has made to his team since the NFL regular season ende [...]
Current Patriots’ Offense More Potent...

For the week of January 23-29, 2012
So as another week goes by, there were some interesting developments. The Wizards won just as many games this past week as they had all season.

Bucs hire Schiano

Former Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano has became the next coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The move is a bit of a surprising one, that took a couple of weeks to get in place. As a Big East guy, I’ve always liked the way Schiano handled his players, got them NFL ready, as well as being a master recruiter. This would& [...]

Playoffs: For Falcons, Getting There ...
The Atlanta Falcons are not a team with a rich playoff history. As a matter of fact, up until this year the team had never made the playoffs in consecutive years but in past seasons when the Falcons did make the playoffs they usually made it count.
That didn’t occur very often though. The Falcons have only been to the playoffs eight times sin [...]
