Week 12 2007 NFL Power Rankings

The Dolphins finally start John Beck and it doesn’t matter. The 49ers switch to Trent Dilfer and it doesn’t matter. Vince Young finally has a good statistical game and it doesn’t matter. None of these teams could win this past weekend.

The fact is, the main thing that helps teams win in the NFL is consistency and continuity. If a team is one-dimensional they will find ways to lose. And for a team like the Titans, now is not the time to realize that when your quarterback plays well, you can expect your receivers to drop all the passes thrown to them. While Vince Young played his heart out against Denver, it didn’t matter. In fact, as Tom Brady so eloquently WON’T tell us, none of this matters. What matters is the Patriots are undefeated and are likely to stay that way until the season is over. And that is why, once again, the Patriots triumph to the top of the rankings, and everyone else just sits and watches as history continues to be made.

A Monkless Hall

The only thing a Redskins fan hates more than the toothless grin of a Cowboys fan is Canton, Ohio.  And I know there are a lot of losers out there who are furrowing their brows in a vain attempt to understand why a Washington resident would have a grudge on this quaint city of 80,000.  Well, this so called city is the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  As you know, the Hall of Fame holds the current record for longest bad-decision streak in Major League sports.  In the past SEVEN years, the Hall of Fame selection committee has neglected to enshrine Art Monk, the gravity-defining, ever-consistent Redskins receiver that amazed us in the 80’s.  Not only that, but they have let in people that are far inferior, both in skill and morality.  Here, let me show you what I mean:

Week 11 NFL Power Rankings

Another week in the NFL, another line of questions. Is the victory over the Colt’s, as Norv Turner would say, truly a turning point? Are the Packers for real? No, the Colt’s defeat doesn’t mean the Colt’s are losing out or going to miss the playoffs, and no it doesn’t mean the Chargers have got their magic back. But yes, the Packers and Brett Favre in all his glory, are for real. And they’re here to stay, moving up to number three.

Under Dogs

I’m sick of hearing about the New England Patriots. Don’t get me wrong, I love the way they play. Hell, I love everything about them. I hope and pray Tom Brady shatters the touchdown mark. But enough, already. And forget about the Indianapolis Colts. I’m tired of hearing about the greatness of Tony Dungy or the execution and finesse of Peyton Manning. And don’t even get me started on the star on the rise; Joseph Addai.(Mostly because Chris Berman and his stupid “to live and let” nickname)Because, honestly, it’s gotten very repetitive and boring. Since no one else cares about anything except the winner of the AFC championship game, I’m going to go out on a limb and talk about the best team not being talked about. The best team that isn’t from New England or Indianapolis. I’m going to talk about the Green Bay Packers.

After all the hype and promotion, the “Super Bowl 41 and a half” is over and done with. But what new information is there?

The following 32 observations will at least help.

And the Awards Go To….

by Matt Wells

OK, so we’ve completed 9 weeks of the 2007 NFL season.  After the dust settled following the big New England/Indy game, we have the Patriots remaining undefeated and looking as calm as can be in the clutch.  The Colts shouldn’t feel bad; 7-1 is nothing to cry about.  Then…we have the rest.  I’m not going to sit here and hand the Lombardi Trophy over to the Pats just yet.  The Colts still have a legitimate shot, too.

But, who are we kidding?  There’s no team in the NFC that holds a candle to either of the AFC powerhouses.  That New England/Dallas game a few weeks back was supposed to be close.  Too bad nobody told the Patriots.  The Cowboys, Giants, Packers, Saints, and the rest of the NFC elite can’t beat the Patriots or Colts.

Best of the worst: Boston sports fans vs. Bill Belichick

It’s great to be a Boston sports fan right now. It’s kick-you-in-the-pants, kiss-the-homecoming-queen, twiril-a-baton-in-one-hand-drink-a-beer-with-the-other greatness.

Two things, though, are not so peachy in New England.
