NFL ’13 Wild Card Picks
Posted on 2 Jan 2013 by Steven Keys.
The Whole Nine Yards That’s what stood between Adrian Peterson and sport immortality in Sunday’s contest vs Green Bay (MIN 37-34). Nine yards and Adrian owns the single-season rush-record (ED / 2105) and goes to head of the MVP line, besting Peyton and a closing fast Rodgers. As it stands, Pey-dirt will win his fifth AP award because voters love QBs and his team’s spiffy W-L record (13-3)...

However, the Vikings spoiled the Bears preseason hopes by clinching a berth with a field goal in the last 0:03 seconds of the game. Now instead of the Bears playing to get to the Super Bowl, their division rival, Minnesota, will have a rematch against the Packers in Green Bay next weekend. The Bears had a 17 point l...

Home Field for Houston?
Posted on 29 Dec 2012 by Dustin Kelver.
The Houston Texans had a big oppurtunity last week to go and clinch home field advantage and not have to worry about the game this week. They could have rested some of their starters and given them a chance to heal any nagging injuries so they will be primed and ready for the playoffs. The Vikings showed up last week and stunned the city of Houston and many outsiders as well. The Texans have an...

Posted on 24 Dec 2012 by Dustin Kelver.
Silence. I'm sure that was the immediate response from Texans fans' after Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Sometimes silence is a good thing though. You can learn a lot from silence and a lot of times silence says more than words themselves. I know growing up when I was in trouble and my parents got silent, that meant they were disappointed in me and that was far worse than the actual pu...

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...

On the Winning Track
Posted on 28 Nov 2012 by Smiley.
The Bears had an good game overall when the Vikings came into Soldier Field on Sunday. The game started off a little reminiscent of the Tennessee game.

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...
