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 — bad news for him, of course, but a move that increases the likelihood Chad...

On Pats/Ravens, I wouldn't make too much of how dominant the Patriots looked in the last round; without first round Broncos MVP Dick LeBeau involved, Tebow turning into a pumpkin.
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.
Saturday's game is a good lesson in making predictions based on intuition. The numbers suggest that Alex Smith has become a very serviceable QB, and despite my skepticism played very well against a terrible defense. The numbers also show that Tim Tebow is really, really...
Since I was on the road, I missed the first game (I'm, ah, sure I would have picked the Texans behind the immortal T.J. Yates.) But still time for the.

I'm not saying that the good start of the Bengals isn't at least mildly surprising, but I think a lot of writers were missing the fact that Carson Palmer hasn't.
I came into football awareness in the late 70s and early 80s in Sacramento, California. The choice in football lay between the Raiders and 49ers, and for reasons I can't.
