The New Orleans Saints’ now-infamous BountyGate scandal has reached new proportions — the airwaves. On Monday, NFL Network was expected to replay the 2009 NFC Championship game between the Vikings and Saints. Instead, when viewers tuned in at 3 p.m., they were surprised to see the Cowboys and 49ers duel it out in the 1992 [...]

As they’ve done in the past, the funny folks over at ESPN’s Page 2 brand have again taken it upon themselves to redesign all 32 of the NFL’s team logos. The purpose? To more accurately represent how each club is fairing thus far in 2011 — satirically, of course. Personally, I think they did a [...]

NFL Conf. Championships: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

January 27, 2010

And then there were two. Being one of them was the prize this week. The early game saw two teams play pretty well, with the game taking two distinct characters. The first 28 or so minutes was played much to the Jets’ liking, and the scoreboard bore that out. The final 32 minutes were played [...]

Week 15: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

December 22, 2009

Every now and then, usually as the playoffs approach, there is a week like this week. There were really only a handful of notable Goods, Bads and Uglies. Some playoff contenders won but were unimpressive. Others lost, but weren’t particularly notable other than they didn’t take care of business. Sometimes things just go that way, [...]

Week 14: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

December 16, 2009

One more week is in the books and the playoff picture is arguably less clear than a week ago. Indy is in, so is New Orleans as is Minny. San Diego is not mathematically, but is for all practical purposes. All four took care of business and have established their credentials for a post season [...]

Week 11 – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

November 29, 2009

The turkey is about to go in the oven after appearing in a few NFL games this week. The playoffs are right around the corner, and some teams took a seat at the table for the stretch run, others squandered opportunities and some may have put themselves out to pasture. The Saints and Colts remain [...]

If The Season Ended Today – Week 2

September 23, 2009

AFC 1. New York Jets (2-0) – AFC East champs. 1st seed due to the strength of victory tiebreaker. 2. Denver Broncos (2-0) – AFC West champs. 2nd seed due to the best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed tiebreaker. 3. Baltimore Ravens (2-0) – AFC North champs. 3rd seed [...]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – Week 2 Edition

September 23, 2009

The Good Arizona – Well, that’s certainly a great way to bounce back from last week. Kurt Warner set a new record for accuracy, completing 24 of his 26 pass attempts for 243 yards and 2 TDs. Anquan Boldin showed up with 8 catches after being invisible in Week 1. Most importantly, the Arizona O-line [...]
