I've been wrong about a lot of things, but Eli Manning was at the top of the list. Today, he (and Manningham) made the plays, and Brady (and Welker, although that really wasn't a very good throw) missed two pivotal opportunities, and that was a...

I can't leave any suspense about the pick, since I already placed my low stakes wager on the Giants (money line and +3) the Monday after the championship games before.
Ah, the Patriots: So close to the Super Bowl, yet so far. Wide receiver Tiquan Underwood has been cut by the Patriots less than 24 hours before the big game.

Apparently Aaron Rodgers's head is somewhere in the middle of his back. This game is, though, an object lesson about why officiating never really "costs" any team a game; the.

Tim Tebow is so great that he can get a team coached by Norv Turner to knock someone out of the playoffs! He Just. Wins. Football Games. To focus against.
What happens when a QB playing like Colt McCoy and Josh Freeman and Dan Orlovsky (well, not quite as well as the immortal Orlovsky) despite an unrealistically low turnover rate.
Dave Zirin's piece on Tebow's disastrous performance and his aggressive evangelicalism links to this very disturbing 2008 news story of Tim Tebow going to the Philippines to circumcise young boys On the recent weeklong trip to the orphanage his father’s ministry runs in Southeast Asia,...
Michael Tomasky's excellent piece on the Washington Redskins, a team whose owner, George Marshall, made the team identity his own virulent racism, is well worth a read. The Redskins were.
