Saints’ Win is Good for the Game
You’d be surprised to learn that I, as a sports journalist, did not get the chance to watch Super Bowl XLIV. Unbelievable, I know. I have, however, had a chance to watch nearly each and every play forty times or more, courtesy of ESPN, complete with narration from a myriad of expert analysts. There are [...]

Curing the February Funk
Sitting at my desk, staring out at the bleak, gray landscape, I can feel it settling over me like a stifling blanket. It’s that time of year, ladies and gentlemen. Lock your doors and grab some intoxicants – The February Funk is upon us.

Foreverman: Will Brett be Back?
Well, the dream is over.
Once again, a Brett Favre helmed team has come up just short of the Superbowl. That makes two overtime losses in three years.

Heads Are About to Roll: NFL Style

Teams with Something to Prove
It’s put up or shut up time in the NFL, and that’s gotten me thinking about some of the other franchises across the sporting world. The plights of such a team as, say, the Dallas Cowboys (despite their win over the Saints) is not all that dissimilar to those of the Mets and Cavaliers.

Distant Early Warning
There’s a rule I’ve learned after several years of playing fantasy sports – It’s never too early to begin planning for you next draft. As the NFL’s regular season draws to a close, it’s time to reflect back on the year that was. The wins, the beats, each brilliant last minute call and every game-time [...]

The Playoff Dilemma
As football’s regular season winds down, the Fantasy playoffs are in full swing. For those of us whose star players are on a team which has already clinched a real-life playoff spot, things can get tricky.
