Seventeen weeks into the NFL season, and I still don’t see a sure thing in the top twelve teams. Sure, the Giants won it last year and should be favorites, but they have not looked like a champion in the past few weeks.
Then you have your sporadic squads-the teams no one saw coming. Teams like [...]

Well, we have survived another year. Many things have changed, but most fire hydrants remain the same, at least where I live. I will be going out and getting drunk on this grand day. When the masses drink, I join. Who am I to question this sweet ritual?
I do not relish being out and about [...]

Every week it feels like we’re getting a little closer to truly discovering which teams are for real, and which ones are slowly falling apart.
We still don’t know what’s going on in New Orleans, and quite frankly, it’s possible we never will.
We have no idea what to make of the AFC East. We know the [...]

Another week is in the books, and outside of the Titans and Giants, we’re still unsure of how this season will play out.
Most analysts are positive we’ll be seeing the Titans and Giants square off in the final game of the season, and maybe I’m just seeing things differently, but I’m not completely sold on [...]

It’s a weird feeling. We knew we’d be here, but we were positive we’d never get here.
On one side, you have Brett Favre and his Jets going up against the Patriots for first place. The new guy with his new girlfriend, and he’s already gearing up for marriage? Nah.
Forget about the Jets winning the game, [...]

Finally, we’re seeing some consistency in the NFL.
In the bottom five this week, all the teams have issues at the quarterback position, which is a perfect reason why their offenses are so ineffective.
In the top half, most of the teams have solid defenses, and know how to pound the ball at the end of games, [...]

This season continues to live up to the hype of each previous week with each week that follows it. Even when we’re slated to watch a bunch of mid-level games, they turn out to be nail-biting, last second thrillers.
Seriously, who would have thought match-ups between the Lions and Vikings, the Bears and Falcons, and even [...]

The great Miami Dolphins are surging, people. They are taking us all by surprise and laughing in our faces. Not simply because they’re winning games, but because they’re doing it by playing unorthodox football.
And the worst part? The two teams from last season’s AFC Championship couldn’t stop them. So who does that speak louder for; [...]

Forget about Ronnie Brown and his fantasy day from heaven. Where the heck did all those plays come from? The Miami Dolphins pulled plays out of a college spread offense, and brought some life to their attack in a complete dismantling of the New England defense. If nothing else was accomplished in week three, Miami, [...]

Aside from Redskins tight end Chris Cooley revealing more than just his playbook, this week was nothing but gravy in the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers continues to impress, while backed by a quite clearly explosive defense. However, the Packers were facing the Lions.
Interesting circumstances had certain teams winning or losing games, and sending a bunch of pre-season [...]
