Minnesota strides into the postseason as the second seed in the NFC Playoffs.

At firstáglance, it looked like Josh McDaniels really didn't need Jay Cutler after the Broncos started the season at 6-0. However, now we know McDaniels is 100% responsible for the Broncos' tumble out of the playoff race. The Broncos' record over the last 10 games was a miserable 2-8. How could so much change so quickly in the Mile High City? It's simple. McDaniels was overconfident in his ability to beat any team ...

Posted: 27th December 2009 by Dan Adams in NHL
The Minnesota Wild organization has enjoyed a very long honeymoon period in the Twin Cities. Their long home sellout streak has realistically come to an end, even though the team continues to announce sellouts because they are giving away tickets. The team struggled mightily out of the gate to find composure under new head coach, Todd Richards. They lost the face of their franchise, Marion Gaborik, to free-agency (New York Rangers). Fans ...
There are 55 possible clinching scenarios for various prized playoff positions at stake in Week 16 of the NFL season. Rarely do we see every spot clinched prior to Week 17 and that is very unlikely with the number of teams still in the chase in 2009.
