PETE CARROLL AND THE SEAHAWKS ARE OPTIMISTIC FOR SOME REASON

PETE CARROLL AND THE SEAHAWKS ARE OPTIMISTIC FOR SOME REASON
When the Seahawks entered the playoffs this year, many questioned whether they should have made it with their 7-9 record.  Then Marshawn Lynch turned into a human bulldozer for a minute and they beat the Saints, making everyone awkwardly put down their pitchforks and torches to look around and ask what...

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JERRAUD POWERS, CHAD OCHOCINCO AND BRANDON FLOWERS

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JERRAUD POWERS, CHAD OCHOCINCO AND BRANDON FLOWERS
With the NFL playoffs approaching a climax in a few weeks, most of America is focused on the teams that are still playing for the title.  But Pierre Garcon and his Colts are no lo playing and this morning is facing a dilemma most NFL players are probably facing: What should I do today? Well Pierre,...

THE BRIGHT SPOT IN OREGON’S DEFEAT

THE BRIGHT SPOT IN OREGON’S DEFEAT
The Tostitos BCS National Championship Game between Oregon and Auburn was a disappointment to many. The two teams did not live up to the scoring hype in a 22-19 defensive struggle, and neither of the teams really looked like the top team in the land. One thing that did not disappoint, however, was the...

DARRYL TALLEY THINKS HE CAN DO MEL KIPER’S JOB….IF HE EVEN EARNED IT

DARRYL TALLEY THINKS HE CAN DO MEL KIPER’S JOB….IF HE EVEN EARNED IT
Darryl Talley made his mark in the NFL as a hard-working, linebacker who was a constant on the four Bills' Super Bowl appearances nearly two decades ago.  The two-time Pro Bowler and former All-American hasn't played a down since 1996, and has generally stayed out of the limelight.  But social media...

JOHN ELWAY ENDORSES TIM TEBOW….FOR NOW

JOHN ELWAY ENDORSES TIM TEBOW….FOR NOW
The Broncos haven't had much to cheer about lately.  After starting 6-0 last season, they've basically fell off the face of the earth, losing games in every way imaginable, while canning their once proud wunderkind of a head coach in Josh McDaniels.  But fans could at least hold their heads high (or...

AN INSIDE LOOK OF AN NFL DRUG TESTER’S DAY JOB…. AND OCHOCINCO’S LIVING ROOM

AN INSIDE LOOK OF AN NFL DRUG TESTER’S DAY JOB…. AND OCHOCINCO’S LIVING ROOM
The Cincinnati Bengals wrapped up a dismal 3-13 season on Sunday with a tough loss to Baltimore.  But though the Bengals will be spending the next few months relaxing and hitting the golf course, that doesn't mean they're exempt from the NFL's drug-testing policies.  As WR (and Twitter Pro Bowler)...

CHAD OCHOCINCO TWEETIN’ MAD

CHAD OCHOCINCO TWEETIN’ MAD
Not much has gone right for the Bengals this season.  Yes, they somehow beat the playoff-bound Baltimore Ravens in Week 2.  Besides that, the Bengals have two other wins all season (against Carolina and Cleveland).  A season that began with so much promise is set to end, as the Bengals limp their...

CAM NEWTON’S HEISMAN TROPHY WIN WAS BLACK & WHITE: THE RACIAL ASPECTS OF HIS VICTORY

CAM NEWTON’S HEISMAN TROPHY WIN WAS BLACK & WHITE: THE RACIAL ASPECTS OF HIS VICTORY
If this season in NCAA football unfolded as expected at the beginning of the season, Cam Newton might still be the “Denard Robinson of the South.” Instead, Newton took offense to this comparison to the should-be cornerback/punt returner, and tore up the SEC, leading to a landslide victory in the...

WHEN TRENT DILFER HATES ON PEYTON MANNING, KING JAMES HATES ON TRENT DILFER

WHEN TRENT DILFER HATES ON PEYTON MANNING, KING JAMES HATES ON TRENT DILFER
Trent Dilfer had a nice, yet unspectacular NFL-career.  As starting quarterback of the Ravens, he won a Super Bowl in 2000.  Granted with the talent they featured on defense, I could have started at quarterback for them.  He was more game-manager than game-winner. Peyton Manning is a slightly different...

ATHLETE TWITTER COMMUNITY THINKS MANNING IS HUMAN–IS HE??

ATHLETE TWITTER COMMUNITY THINKS MANNING IS HUMAN–IS HE??
Peyton Manning has been the staple of success at the quarterback position in the NFL. A four-time MVP winner, Super Bowl MVP, and statistical records out the wazoo; there is not much he hasn't accomplished. Thus far this season the Colts are 6-5, on a 2 game skid and questions are arising about Peytons...
