Having just returned from a honeymoon in Hawaii, I was a tad bit surprised to see just how much negativity and fear there was on the airwaves in New England. It's as if the Red Sox communityùtypically filled with naysayers, pessimists, and those on the brink of psychological breakdownùhas plagued the Patriots fanbase. You'd like to think that a team and a quarterback which has been as successful as New England and ...

The Detroit Lions' game this Sunday against the Washington Redskins is blacked out and will not be available to the television audience within 75 miles of Detroit. Six of the Lions' past eight home games have been blacked out. This trend will continue. On Thursday, the league mandated deadline to sell out stadiums, the Lions still had 10,000 unsold tickets. The team barley avoided a blackout last week for the Minnesota Vikings ...

After last week's thrilling comeback victory against the hated Tennessee Titans, the Texans return home to play division rival Jacksonville this Sunday. The good guys are hoping to win two in a row. The Jaguars are 0-2 and coming off of a bad beating at home against the Arizona Cardinals. The Texans have been very good at home in the past two-plus seasons.

The Titans' dominance of the AFC never seemed clearer than after their Dec. 31 31-14 throttling of the Pittsburgh Steelers. In their celebration, LenDale White and Keith Bullock showed their disdain for the Steelers by stomping on the Terrible Towel, ...

It has been 15 years since the Jacksonville Jaguars took the field for the first time, but in many ways, they are still considered to be the new kids on the block.á Often dismissed, and mostly ignored, the Jaguars have lived their entire existence in relative obscurity as a result of being located in the smallest media market in the National Football League. The only time the Jaguars get consistent attention ...

Not to rain on everyone's parade here but for all of those claiming the Saints are going to the promised land this season, relax, it's only week two. While all the national media is drooling over Drew Brees' absolutely ridiculous numbers and the Saints 2-0 start, most people have been starting to drown out the last 10 years. Have the past 40 years not meant anything to every who dat fan? ...
