Relocation is Not the Answer for NFL Teams

Posted: 1st January 2010 by Chad Smith in NFL
Most educated NFL fans remember what took place under the darkness in Baltimore on March 29, 1984. The Colts were on their way out of Baltimore and headed to Indianapolis, their new home. Ask any Baltimore fan how they felt about that, and I'm sure you will understand where this is going. With the recent troubles affecting the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise, as well as a few others (Detroit, St. Louis, Buffalo) ...

Indiana Pro Sports: Polar Opposites

Posted: 31st December 2009 by Chad Smith in NFL
Who is to say whether a college or university is a "football school" or a "basketball school"? When you say North Carolina you think basketball, and when you say Alabama you think football. Then there are those that could be considered both, such as Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. The same holds true for some cities and their professional sports teams. Detroit loves their football, but they follow their Pistons more ...

Forget Perfection, Colts’ Rhythm Now The Main Focus

Posted: 27th December 2009 by Chad Smith in NFL
It is a good thing you are reading this instead of trying to listen to my voice from here in Indy. You probably wouldn't be able to hear me over the boos that are still echoing in the downtown streets of Indianapolis. While Curtis Painter is not to blame for this loss, the fans still have a good reason to be upset, although they just have it wrong. While 95 percent ...

Starting with the 2000-2001 Baltimore Ravens, to the 2008-2009 Pittsburgh Steelers, let's take a look back at the pas decade's Super Bowl winners and rank them. The St. Louis Rams with the "Greatest Show on Turf" did not make the list because the season was started in 1999, therefore I am not including it in this present decade.

The 2009 NFL All-Disappointment Team

Posted: 20th December 2009 by Chad Smith in NFL
Remember to pre-rank your players before your fantasy football draft! Those were the words every fantasy football player read before they started their fantasy football seasons. Looking back at those rankings now, what would you change? Better yet, what would you NOT change? Obviously injuries play a significant part in this subject, but then there are those players that just did not perform as well as they should have this season, ...

Bad Weather Does Not Mean Bad Games

Posted: 19th December 2009 by Chad Smith in NFL
The Saints don't like it. My Colts probably don't prefer it either. The Packers and Bills invite it. Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, and Miami never really see it. Normally there aren't that many NFL games played in the snow during the regular season, but already this year we have had "The Blowout" in the snow, where the Patriots seemed like the Patriots of old and crushed the then once horrible Tennessee Titans, ...

Some of the rising rookies that didn't quite make this Top 5 list include Chase Budinger, Ty Lawson, and Wesley Mathews.
