The 2011 version of the Heisman Trophy will be handed out on Saturday in New York City. The Heisman is of course, the MVP of college football: awarded to the played deemed to be “the most outstanding in college football.” There have been plenty of Heisman winners that went on to successful pro careers: [...]
In the wake of all the recent firings in college football, we’re finally starting to see a few of those openings get filled with new coaches. We watched as Washington State dumped Paul Wulff and quickly replaced him with former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach. The University of Arizona canned Mike Stoops and then hired [...]
As the Chicago Bears try to recover from a second consecutive defeat with Caleb Hanie under center, immediately following a five game win streak with Jay Cutler as the starting quarterback, there is plenty of speculation about whether Hanie can successfully lead the team to the postseason. In two starts, Hanie has completed less [...]
In the National Football League, the two toughest positions to replace are a star quarterback and a star running back. Certainly wide receivers are a difficult spot to fill in for, but if you have a good QB and RB, you can work around an injury there, and other players can step up. The same [...]
What a wild week of action week 13 has brought us. We’ve seen just about everything that you could expect in a given week of action: late game heroics, startling fourth quarter comebacks, complete out of left field performances, and teams you expect to win losing, in some cases via bizarre endings. When push came [...]

The Chicago Bears haven’t had much success in today’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. After falling last week to the Oakland Raiders in Caleb Hanie’s first start of the 2011 season in a game that saw Hanie toss three interceptions, the last thing the Bears wanted was another injury or inconsistent start from Hanie. [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs have been a team of streaks. They lost their first three games, won their next four, and have dropped four straight to fall to 4-7 on the year. Even worse, they’ve scored just one touchdown in the losing skid, and have been drubbed by New England and Miami while also losing [...]
The national polls for college football were released earlier today and much to the chagrin of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, there was change in the points, but no change in the actual standings. LSU remained number one in both polls after their 42-10 destruction of Georgia in the SEC Championship Game yesterday. They rallied [...]
The Clemson Tigers started off hot this season, winning their first eight games and climbing into contention for a shot at the BCS Championship Game. They then pulled what seems to be an annual fade, dropping three of their final four games, including a 34-13 pasting by in state rival South Carolina and Steve Spurrier. [...]
There has been plenty of talk all week around the proverbial water cooler that regardless of what happened this weekend, that we probably would see a rematch of the “Game of the Century” for the BCS Championship Game. That means we’d be gearing up for LSU and Alabama, a game that might have been the [...]
