Will we ever see another black quarterback win a Super Bowl? And if not, will it begin to affect the way general managers build their respective teams?

Posted: 8th January 2010 by Will Holt in NFL
The Eagles are shaking the proverbial eight ball right now and things donÆt look all that promising. A win is not impossible, but to be honest it does seem a little unlikely.

All week, you will hear the self-proclaimed experts tell you it is difficult to beat a team three times in one season. They will sit in their fancy studios and use that logic to explain why the Eagles are going to beat Dallas next weekend. Clearly, these pundits of prognostication do not have access to the Internet. If they did, they could do some research and realize that since the NFL merger ...
There are moments in sports that make you stand up and say, "You've got to be kidding me." The Music City Miracle comes to mind, the Immaculate Reception should be on the tip of your tongue. And the United States' upset win over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics has to be at the top of the list. Unfortunately, there are also terrible moments that trigger the same reaction. Pun intended. Sadly, the shooting incidents of Adam "Pacman" Jones, and Plaxico ...
