Pey-Dirt vs. All-Day And then there were two. With two weeks left in the NFL’s 2012 regular season, the MVP race has come down to two men: Denver quarterback Peyton Manning and Minnesota running-back Adrian Peterson. It’s been a two man race ever since Matt Ryan had his INT-fest back in Week 11 (5) and Aaron Rodgers got the smack-down at MetLife (NJ). Popularity contests can be cruel. Peyto...

All Process That is Due The longer Bountygate dragged-out the more likely Paul Tagliabue does exactly what he did in his ruling on Tuesday: found middle ground. At least that’s how NFLPA is selling it to members. In truth, DeMaurice Smith and other union sharks hope their clients don’t read too deeply and stick to the pro-player headlines, as Tags re-buffed the jocks in validating NFL’s f...

Remains of the Season “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna’ get (F. Gump)” Winston Groom’s simple sage could’ve been talking about NFL 2012. Expect the unexpected. That’s the title on this season’s marquee. Given that state, gauging the remaining match-ups might seem a pointless endeavor, as in, the winners are anybody’s guess. But as unpredictab...

They Made Me a Criminal “Illegal.” It’s a word that was popping up with odd frequency this past weekend in major media descriptions of Detroit Lions’ coach Jim Schwartz and his now infamous challenge-flag faux pas on Thanksgiving Day. I’m no legal expert but am not aware of the existence of any State of Michigan or federal criminal, regulatory or like provision that such an on-field m...

Season of the Fall-Guy Can you fire an entire roster? It’s a pretty crazy notion but one that wouldn’t meet with much protest if you’d polled locker-rooms of the Cardinals, Lions, Browns, Bolts, Jags and Panthers after their Week 11 meltdowns. The embarrassment showed in player post-game interviews and shameful they should all feel, moving their coaches one-step closer to the figurative g...

Protocol in Tackling The storylines are all too familiar in this week’s NFL: concussions, Big Ben injury updates, Giants mid-season funk, dysfunction in Jetsland, Tebow talk, etcetera. And when the topic is concussions, “protocol” is the buzz word that swarms the hive. Protocol, in health assessment, is a good thing. It means people are taking notice and then steps to try to prevent, or a...

All Incredible His peers affectionately refer to him as “All Day.“ Watch Adrian Peterson’s tireless play on a football field and you’ll know why. It was the day before Christmas last year when Peterson suffered what will often be a career-ending knee injury, sustaining ligament tears (ACL) and sending shockwaves throughout the Land of 10,000 Lakes. But low & behold, AP healed-up and...

Last-Chance Grill & Gas It’s the half-way marker on our long & winding road to Super Bowl 47 in New Orleans, so hit the privy, get your goodies, hop back in and “fasten your seat-belts (‘cause) it’s going to be a bumpy (ride) (B. Davis)” the rest of NFL Highway 2012-13. Eight weeks back the road was dark, sights unseen and too early to know what lay ahead along interstate NFL....

Welcome to the Surge A pendulum swinging back n’ forth. One team starts out like gang-busters, jumping to a huge, seemingly insurmountable lead, then, just when you’re about to stick a fork in ‘em the other guys start surging back, take the lead and there’s still half a‘ quarter left on the clock! Amazing…or maybe not. What happened in last Monday night’s Broncos / Chargers game w...

Stock Slide in Packerland Life can turn on a dime. One day you’re on top a’ the world, feeling “eight-feet tall (J. Garfield)” the next day you’re flat on your back, staring-up & hoping someone got the license of the truck that just ran you over. That’s how the Green Bay Packers must be feeling about now. This time last year they’re reigning champs, working on perfection and m...

Not So Fast, football America. The regular referees are back in business but there are grades to be handed out in wake of ‘Replacement-Ref Whine-fest 2012.’ Roger & The Regulars: B Denying anyone who’s not employed in public safety the right to use all leverage in negotiating a contract (strike) would be un-American. Unfortunately, the regulars have now been vested with special status...
