Posted: 27th September 2009 by Angel Navedo in NFL
Ups and downs, highs and lows, and everything in between. The New York Jets emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle against the desperate Tennessee Titans, improving to 3-0 and leaving Tennessee winless.
"Their record is not indicative of how tough that team is," said Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez of his opponents.
Throwing for 171 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, Sanchez had his struggles against a proud defense looking to ...
Winning in Qwest Field is no easy featùespecially with the lime green uniformsùbut the Bears pull it off against the scrappy Seahawks.
The once-deep line backing corps of the Bears is looking a little thin now after Hunter Hillenmeyer was taken out of the game with sore ribs.
Not only were the Seahawks able to run on the Bears defense, they were able to make completions down the field. Seahawks quarterback Seneca ...

Posted: 27th September 2009 by Daniel Muth in NFL
Guillaume de L'Hospital, the great 17th century French Mathematician, wrote the first book of differential calculus and is largely credited with the invention of "L'Hospital's rule" an expression that allows for the solving of limits of indeterminate form.
What does this have to do with the Detroit Lions?
Well the numbers of "indeterminate form" that L'Hospital was considering, involved fractions in which zero and infinity were either divided by themselves or ...
Browns Backers,áá
sorry - " wretched, poor, useless, or pitiful "áá
Bradford, Tebow or McCoy?
If you just got through watching the 34-3 massacre in Baltimore, you cannot help but wonder. Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson looked and played like Dumb and Dumber.áThey simply are not cutting it.
With four interceptions tossed by both of them it would not surprise me to see third-stringer, Brett Ratliff play. The Browns are now officially the ...

Posted: 27th September 2009 by Nick Poust in MLB
Kansas City Royals ace Zack Greinke isnÆt leading the American League in wins. He isnÆt second, third, fourth, fifth, or even sixth; heÆs seventh. He is 15-8 for a Royals team that is last in the American League Central with a record of 63-92. CC Sabathia has 19 wins for the New York Yankees, a team that will win 100 games this season. Likewise, Justin Verlander has 17 wins for ...
On Sunday, the San Diego Chargers Philip Rivers' 40 yard bombs turned the Miami Dolphins' "Wildcat Offense" into the "Fraidey Cat."
After Dolphin's quarterback Chad Pennington jammed his throwing shoulder in the second half, the Chargers were all but assured a win. Forced to pass in the fourth quarter, the Dolphins were exposed as a team that is no threat to pass - especially when Chad Pennington is not in ...
Steelers Shoot Themselves In the Foot, Fall to Bengals
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Nick Signorelli in NFL
For the second week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers started the game on fire; for the second week in a row, they shoot themselves in the foot, and lose in the final seconds of the game.
There are many people you can put the blame on this week, but the main culprit are the coaches.
For the second week in a row, Bruce Arians insisted on running the ball. Even though ...
Redskins vs. Lions: So Many Things Wrong in Washington’s 19-14 Loss
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Ed Sheahin in NFL
The professional in me wanted to take a day to mull over one of the most embarrassing RedskinsÆlosses I have ever witnessed in my thirty years of watching the team play.
á
But the fan in me has had enough, and ultimately won out!
á
Not since the 38-9 thumping at the hands of the Raiders in Super Bowl XVIII has a RedskinsÆloss been so difficult to watch.á áThere was so much ...
Tennessee Titans Woes Continue As They Fall To The Jets, 24-17
Posted: 27th September 2009 by Bryan Hollister in NFL
At least they didn't give up 300 passing yards.
That's a small consolation for the Tennessee Titans, who fell to 0-3 after losing to the New York Jets 24-17 in a contest that started off badly and ended even worse.
Now in sole possession of last place in the AFC South- Tennessee faces the near impossible task of even making the playoffs- much less making a run at the Super Bowl.
Not at ...
The UCF Knights are not a program avidly known for having lots of their players make it to the NFL; but they do have some stars around the league.
Daunte Culpepper, Brandon Marshall, and Asante Samuel are some of the better known Knights that have had successful careers in the NFL.á
And with the recent play of second year running back Kevin Smith, you might want to add the former UCF ...
