Great Moments in New Orleans Saints History
With the Saints going to their first Super Bowl after 43 years in the league (only 2 teams have existed longer without one), what better time to review some of the milestones in Saints history. 1965: The city of New Orleans votes on the name of their upcoming football team. The final ballot included “New…

Was it worth it?
We all know the story… a great career that tapered toward the end. Coaching and management changes along with age contributed to a lack of significant production for much of the 2000’s (specifically post-season wins). It all ended after the 2007 season on a pair of interceptions that gave the NFC Championship to the Giants. …

Cutler Running the Show in Chicago
According to the Daily Herald, Jay Cutler is somehow involved in the interview process of the Bears’ next offensive coordinator. I shouldn’t need to say one more word beyond that to prove how inept the Chicago staff is, but let’s look closer. Some of you might think it a good idea to involve your franchise…

Performance Enhancing Drugs and Underground Sports

Let’s assume Brady comes to camp healthy…
His recovery is now reported to be going well, he didn’t hurt his back leg, so I guess that might be easier to deal with and he’s never been a mobile QB. So let’s just pretend that everything goes great from here out and he is essentially Tom Brady from day one of this season.…

NFL Feeling the Crunch?
It’s playoff time, but who can afford to go? There are 4 games this weekend, and two of them were almost blacked out in the home TV markets. Arizona and Minnesota had to get extensions to sell all their tickets. Arizona eventually sold out, Minnesota is still trying. Hmm, how could these games not sell…
