"That's why we took the damn field! Now, if you want to crown them, then crown their ass!" -Dennis Green on playing the Bears, MNF 10/16/06 I'm surprised management splurged and actually flew the New York Giants to Arizona. Wouldn't it have made more sense to just come to terms with the foregone conclusion of the Patriots' perfect season? Big Blue is overmatched, and Tom Brady is clearly Christ himself. Hell, New England already has applied for a trademark patent on "19-0." (I'm not making this up.) Does it matter who they're playing? The Giants are merely slated to be another blip of road kill on the Patriots' road to perfection. Which means the Patriots go down in history no matter what. As perfect or as chokers. And the Giants? Only a catalyst to either. (6 comments, 1319 words in story) Full Story By Editor, Section NFL

The stage is set for another classic duel of Brady vs. Manning... Eli Manning. If anyone asked me who I thought would come out on top of this match-up at mid-season it's likely that I would've punched them in the head, and never spoken to them again for fear of associating myself with such a astonishing imbecile. However, it's not mid-season anymore and going into the final game of the year these two teams aren't nearly the same as they were then. Their leaders under center have transformed dramatically over the past few weeks, and it has changed the face of the Super Bowl dramatically as well. We might have a game on our hands after all.

"Be ready to be surprised." That was one of the tenets of Loesje, a Dutch organization for creative thinking and positive energy. And naturally there's no better way to launch into an NFL bit than call on the wisdom of modern-day hippies from the Netherlands. At least that's what my grandfather always said.

Super Bowl XLI is sure to be the most over-hyped event in history---that is, until next season. Every year the annual event swells in size not only in vewership, but in money and exposure as well. Add in a mix of uncommonly juicy storylines, and you've got a media and advertising giant on your hands. But before you get caught up in things like pioneers in African-American coaching history, superstars like Peyton Manning and Brian Urlacher making it to their first Super Bowl, and other issues of a trivial nature, first consider the impact of this event on important things like advertising and the opportunity to make a TON of money.

It's still weeks away, and I already feel like Super Bowl XLI is going to be one of the most boring sporting events of my lifetime. (2 comments, 566 words in story) Full Story By WestBayYoungn, Section NFL
We all know it's impossible to guess who will win or even make it to the Super Bowl. We were all witnesses last year to a Pittsburgh Steelers team that was a Wild Card and eeked out a couple games that could have gone either way against superior teams. I'm not coming out and saying that the Patriots are a shoe in to win the Super Bowl this year. In the NFL playoffs, anything can happen. However, you can't deny yesterday's win over the previously 5-1 Minnesota Vikings makes you think a little bit. (4 comments, 703 words in story) Full Story |
