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 [...]

The calendar has flipped over to December, which means only one thing: the regular season in the National Football League is fast approaching its end. Teams are battling for playoff position, or to just flat out get in the playoffs. The air’s colder, the weather gets nastier, the winds blow a little more, the hits [...]

Say this for the top ranked LSU Tigers: even when they play absolutely abysmal football for long stretches, they still find ways to turn games around. The Tigers trailed 10-0 more than midway through the second quarter. The Georgia Bulldogs had done almost everything right: they scored early, recovered an onside kick, and opened [...]

The St. Louis Rams have struggled no matter what metric you stack them up against. They’ve been horrible on offense, torched on defense, and indefensible in special teams. Patrick Peterson of the Cardinals beat them with a 99 yard punt return for a score in overtime a few weeks ago. When the two teams met [...]

All season long, especially in recent weeks, we had been looking for the BCS party crasher. The mid-major or lesser known school that bursts its way onto the scene and makes an impact, telling the big name conferences where to stick it while it punched its ticket to one of the major bowls. We were [...]

Donovan McNabb, who was waived by the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday after less than a full season with the team in the midst of a disappointing 2-9 campaign, was unclaimed by any team on waivers and is now a free agent. McNabb’s agent said that it was the best thing for the veteran quarterback, enabling [...]

Friday’s inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game was underwhelming on its face, not to mention its own merits. While the Oregon Ducks were definitely a worthy team of the opportunity to play for the conference championship and a spot in the Rose Bowl, their opponents, the UCLA Bruins, were not when you get right down to it. [...]

The Detroit Lions have been staggering like a punch drunk boxer the past month and a half or so. After beating the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football in week five to get to 5-0, the Lions have lost four of six, including division defeats in convincing fashion to both Chicago and then Green Bay [...]

With the college football regular season winding down, it’s only a matter of time before schools start looking at their programs and deciding whether they feel that the team met expectations for the year. After all, bowl invitations will start being handed out and that can mean big money to a school. Even getting into [...]

The Minnesota Vikings are playing out the string of a disappointing 2011 season, as at 2-9 and in last place in the NFC North, the team has no chance at making the playoffs. They played last week without running back Adrian Peterson in a 24-14 loss to Atlanta, and the news isn’t any more promising [...]
