Just last week, I mentioned that Tecmo Super Bowl was the first football video game to use NFL and NFL Players Association licenses, allowing them use real team and player names. Now it looks like they won’t get the chance to do that again. ESPN’s Darren Rovell is reporting that EA Sports has obtained exclusive rights to […]Read More
ESPN, among others, is reporting that Atlanta Falcons running back T.J. Duckett will be out for at least two weeks. He is scheduled to undergo minor arthroscopic surgery on his left knee today. That giant rumbling sound you heard was the line on the Panthers-Falcons game shifting… This is very interesting timing. Duckett rushed for four […]Read More
Spotted this silly little tidbit in Peter King’s Monday Morning QB column today: Recently, Eli Manning and his girlfriend were with some some Giants pals at a nightspot in New York. An eligible bacholerette noticed the soft-spoken rookie. Said bachelorette wedged herself between Eli and his main squeeze and made conversation for a while. Nothing else, […]Read More
Michael Smith, like so many other football pundits, has fallen hard for the Carolina Panthers… Carolina is all about playing a certain style of football. Defense and special teams setting up the offense. Running to set up the pass. Making big plays through the air here and there. But the Panthers got away from their winning […]Read More
1. Philadelphia (12-1) 2. Atlanta (10-3) 3. Green Bay (8-5) 4. Seattle (7-6) — 5. Minnesota (7-6) 6. Carolina (6-7) — 7. St. Louis (6-7) 8. 6 teams tied at (5-8) Tiebreakers: 1.) Carolina wins the tiebreaker over St. Louis by virtue of beating them in Week 14. I want to know what John Fox […]Read More
St. Louis Rams backup QB Chris Chandler, starting in place of the injured Marc Bulger, threw 6 interceptions today. Look, that’s really all you need to know about this game. How often are you going to win a game when your QB throws it to the wrong jersey six times? Granted, not all of the […]Read More
Click here for final game stats from NFL.com. Curtis Martin may have passed Jerome Bettis on the all-time rushing list, but Bettis got the last laugh. And the victory. The Bus was responsible for two fourth-quarter touchdowns today, one running and another on a halfback option pass to Jerame Tuman, as the Steelers pulled away […]Read More
It seems awfully popular today for non-quarterbacks to throw the ball. Jerome Bettis just completed a TD pass to Jerame Tuman to give the Steelers a 10-3 lead over the Jets early in the fourth quarter. Nick Goings looked like he wanted to try a halfback option for Carolina, but he bobbled the pitch and […]Read More
Trying to watch two games at once is very difficult. From the looks of it, though, the Carolina defense is doing the job today, shutting down the run, intercepting Chris Chandler three times and generally making life for Chandler pretty awful. The Rams’ veteran backup QB does have one big play — a 75-yard TD […]Read More
Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu intercepted Jets QB Chad Pennington with 5:25 left in the first quarter, which set up the Steelers for a field goal, the only score of the game so far. The story so far: Jets penalties. 12 penalties for 84 yards, to be exact. Several penalties on defense nullified big plays — […]Read More
