Lovie & Dungy Make NFL and Black History
There was an old proverb that I once saw on a wall at one of my local bakeries that read, "If it ain't white, it ain't right." Now of course they were referring to bread, but that really struck a nerve with me. One, because I was there to buy a loaf of rye, and two, it made me think about the number of African-American coaches in the NFL. I have been watching NFL football for a substantial amount of years and that statement really hit home and made me rethink my views about the coaching position in the NFL.

Last week's divisional playoff games were an absolute riot. Like most years, those four games provided a weekend of football that is hard to top. Every game featured big-time surprises, and all but one had down-to-the-wire endings.

By David J. Cohen The NFC is the perfect example of what parity has done to the league. It has made teams competitive which have been awful the year before.

The 8-8 Giants are in the playoffs, and teams like Green Bay were still in it going into the last week of the regular season. The playoff picture in the NFC is murky, with no clear cut choice. With that said, here is how it should play out. (4 comments, 5990 words in story) Full Story By Jackson Govatos, Section NFL
Nine games into the season, we are finally being shown some team's true identities. The Falcons, Bengals, Rams, Vikings, and Jags have all declined from the teams they were a month ago. Even New England is down, after back-to-back losses for the first time in years. While the NFL's middle ground remains muddled, two things are clear: some teams are elite while many have already secured a top 10 pick in next year's draft. This week, with the exception of a few games, it's the haves playing to have-nots. (3 comments, 1932 words in story) Full Story By Jackson Govatos, Section NFL
It was a strange way to end a strange week. In a set of NFL games that saw three teams get their first win this season, it appeared that one of two unbeatens was about to taste defeat. But the Cardinals collapsed as they always do, and the Bears escaped Glendale at 6-0. How long will the Bears stay undefeated? What's wrong in Kansas City? And are the Raiders the worst team of all time?
