Finally.á After two years of not winning a game, the Lions are off the snide. And please, this victory over the Washington Redskins should not be discounted because the Redskins are a bad team.á Remember folks, we were that "bad team" 19 freaking times in a row. Classy move on Lions Head Coach Jim Schwartz to have the team go back out onto Ford Field to share the victory with the fans.á ...

Just about every NFL coach and player would endorse the idea that "it doesn't matter how you win, as long as you somehow get the win." á This is the stance they must take. á After all, you can't argue with a win. If you try, you might appear as if you care more about pretty things such as stats, style, and flash. No sensible pro football player wants to be caught dead putting ...

Before Sunday's Week Three loss to rival Jacksonville, the Houston Texans were on the verge of a winning record. While ordinary teams are not often quick to celebrate such things, the Texans are no ordinary team. In Week Two's victory, the Texans were able to overcome horrific run defense. Chris Johnson was able to run all over the field, but the Texans came back to win. This week, the luck ran out. ...

á After the first loss of his coaching career, Mike Singletary was adamant that he knew what it would take to fix the 49ers.

They're an enigma wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a Rubik's cube with the stickers peeled off. As soon as you think you have them pinned down, the next Sunday rolls around and everything changes. In truth, it's been difficult to get a bead on anybody on this team, ...

Retirement is supposed to be a great time in a athlete's life. Sure it's hard to give up playing a game they played and loved for years. Their teams, coaches, opponents, and fans all get to reflect upon and show appreciation for a long career. I never was a fan of players who came out of retirement. Jordan. Magic. Roger Clemens and Alonzo Mourning to name a few who came back. ...

The temptation is to blame SeattleÆs 25-19 loss to Chicago on kicker Olindo Mare, but letÆs be very clear: There was plenty of blame to go around. Yes, Olindo Mare missed two makeable field goals. But should he really have had to kick six field goals? The way it worked out, he would have needed to hit all six just for a chance to hit a seventh to win it or ...

It has now become very apparent that my Raiders have quite a few problems. But I've decided if I'm going to bash my own team I might as well bash the rest of the division. Here's my best shot at bringing down all the teams in the division with my Raiders. So lets start off with my Raiders of course. Aside from the Monday Night opener, the Raiders look horrible. Not only that, but ...
