On the same day of a report that revealed multiple MLB players were supplied performance enhancing drugs out of Florida, a Sports Illustrated article linked Ray Lewis to using a banned substance to recover from a triceps injury that was suffered in October.
The article, which was written by Dave Epstein and George Dohramn, reveals that Lewis sought out Mitch Ross’ S.W.A.T.S. – Sports with Alternatives to ... Read More

In the world of sports, boxing is often seen as a secondary sport but also popular enough to reference many euphemisms in commentary.
Phrases like “the teams traded haymakers,” “toe-to-toe” and “looked like they went 15 rounds” have all been common analogies in the way commentators describe events. Even in the last election, many political pundits were quick to quip that the three debates felt ... Read More

Eight teams fired their coaches after the end of the regular season and six of the vacancies have been filled.
Only the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Arizona Cardinals remain looking for a coach, but the six others (Chicago, San Diego, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Cleveland, and Buffalo) have found their man that they believe will make the biggest impact on their club.
It raises the question ... Read More

From the Broncos’ implosion to the 49ers’ explosion, the NFL divisional round surpassed the lackluster wildcard games from the weekend before. In a span of two games, the NFL saw the best action of the season so far.
Here’s a quick take from the weekend
- The blame ... Read More

In both of their Superbowl runs, this is the week that the Giants’ run started.
It would be a run that would feel all too familiar. The Giants are 8-6 and as of right now, are out of the playoffs. Although, would it surprise anyone if the Giants won their final two games and finally looked like ... Read More
Games of the week
New York Giants at Baltimore Ravens
X Factor – Eli Manning, New York Giants QB
Eli Manning hasn’t had a 300 yard game since October 21 against the Redskins. Even when his team has gotten it together offensively against the Packers and the Saints, Manning still threw less than 300 yards. Throwing for 300 yards isn’t necessary crucial to win, but the Giants ... Read More

The J-E-T-S Jets are A-W-F-U-L awful.
After the performance the entire team put up on Monday Night, the Jets are a train wreck. Mark Sanchez threw four costly interceptions and Nick Mangold’s failure of a snap led the Jets to an embarrassing 14-10 loss to the Titans. With it, the Jets’ playoff chances were officially kaput.
It would be easy to blame the season all on Sanchez, who had led the league ... Read More

It’s been seven years since the Broncos won at least ten games.
At 10-3, the Broncos have already won the AFC West and currently have the longest win streak in the league with eight in a row. The arrival of Manning launched Denver into one of the top teams in the NFL.
After not playing last season, Peyton Manning deserves to be the Comeback ... Read More

Suddenly, the NFC East is interesting again.
This time there was no Eli Manning fourth quarter comeback as were accustomed to seeing. Instead on a national stage on Monday Night, the Redskins put in a workman-like performance to become one game back from the lead in the division.
Oh, and the Cowboys are 6-6 too.
The NFC East is once again a log jam. For the first half of the season, the ... Read More

Games to Watch:
Seattle Seahawks (6-5) at Chicago Bears (8-3)
X-Factor:
Brendan - Seattle Secondary
With Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman not suspended this week, they will have the pleasure of attempting to shut down Brandon Marshall. The Bears will literally only target Marshall for long stretches of a game, as evidence of his 17 targets and the next two receivers only had 8 total. Granted, the Bears can’t seem to get the ball downfield ... Read More

With the Saints’ loss to the Falcons Thursday, New Orleans playoff chances are pretty much over.
Two losses in a row has put them at 5-7 that makes it almost impossible to earn the last wildcard spot in the NFC. However for three other teams in the NFC, the last playoff spot is still very much alive.
In the AFC, the last wildcard spot will ... Read More
Brendan - Green Bay Packers
There’s no shame in losing to an opponent who may also be headed to the playoffs. There is a little bit of shame in just not showing up after the first quarter to a nationally televised game. The Packers couldn’t get anything going against the Giants on Sunday night football after their opening touchdown.
The Packers get ... Read More

Tonight, the 3-7 Eagles will be playing the 2-8 Carolina Panthers at home on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
How exciting.
Inept coaching and underperforming squads kept this game from being the ratings hit ESPN executives imagined when deciding what games to air in the offseason. Who could blame them either?
At the beginning of the season, the Eagles were seen as potential Superbowl ... Read More

After a loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday, Andy Reid said that Michael Vick will continue to be the Eagles’ starting quarterback going forward.
Reports during the week said that Reid, who had denied those reports, had been considering benching Vick for rookie Nick Foles. Speculation for benching Vick started the week before after a loss to the ... Read More
