November 18th, 2008 Neal Week 11 in the NFL provided us with the first tie game in 6 years between the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals. Neither team could do anything in the overtime period thus resulting in the very unsatisfying tie game. I think it is time to change the NFL overtime rules. First off I would eliminate [...]
Adam Jones still is Pacman
October 10th, 2008 Alston Some guys just don’t get it, or have any common sense. You can add Adam “Pacman” Jones to that list. Either he doesn’t care or he is just one of the dumbest individuals ever to play professional football. Jones got into an altercation with one of his bodyguards. Are you kidding me? With his bodyguard? [...]

October 5th, 2008 Neal It’s safe to say the injury to Tom Brady in the first game of the 2008 NFL season makes this season for the New England Patriots a lost season. High expectation again were with the Patriots, maybe not to repeat 16-0 but be Super Bowl contenders once again. With Matt Cassel as the starting quarterback [...]

Why the New York Giants won’t repeat as Super Bowl Champions……probably.
