How do you draw…..Thunder?

By motle • Jul 21st, 2008 • Category: Lead Story, National Football League

Oklahoma City professional basketball team reportedly will be called the Thunder. Also reported is that the NBA has registered okcthunderbasketball.com and okcthunderbasketball.net with the league office.
Let me get this straight. We have the Suns, the Heat and now the Thunder? Now it would be inconsiderate to name a team with any Native American connotation. They [...]



Unretirement

By motle • Jul 19th, 2008 • Category: Featured, Lead Story, National Football League

Poor Aaron Rodgers. HE has waited three years for this opportunity and then it was handed to him very easily. But lo and behold Brett Favre wants to UN-retire. Can you do that? Of course. Many high profile athletes have done that. But Rodgers will be under tremendous pressure to guide this young, talented team [...]



Wouldn’t it be great to laugh at Belichick?

By motle • Jul 18th, 2008 • Category: Fantasy Sports, Lead Story, National Football League

Last year, fueled by the fallout over Spygate and coach Bill Belichick’s relentless drive, the Patriots extended a middle finger to the world while producing the only 16-0 regular season in NFL history. But proving a point every week is a tiring endeavor, and New England wasn’t nearly as potent in the playoffs, finally buckling [...]

Favre retires

By motle • Mar 4th, 2008 • Category: Featured, National Football League

This time, Favre’s fans won’t have to endure another long winter wondering whether he’ll return.
The three-time MVP walks away with most of the NFL’s significant passing records—most career touchdown passes, most career yards passing and most career victories by a starting quarterback—and a victory in the 1997 Super Bowl.
As the Packers cheered Favre’s touchdowns and [...]



What? No asterisk in football?

By motle • Feb 24th, 2008 • Category: National Football League

Crazy? Insane! It’s time that ALL professional athletes are treated the same.
 
Let’s look at the Mitchell report and illegal drug use in Major League Baseball and compare it to NFL.
Should fans feel betrayed by the players mentioned in the report? Do NFL fans feel betrayed by Shawne Merriman?
It’s a point to consider. [...]



Should Congress interfere into sports?

By motle • Feb 3rd, 2008 • Category: National Football League

Lately we got a dose of steroids and the problems facing baseball. The talking heads at MLB wouldn’t do anything about the problem until Congress got involved.
Now they call it Spygate. The illegal taping of NFL practices and walk throughs.
From that moment in late September until Friday, the NFL never answered the questions of exactly [...]



What is the most important NFL position?

By motle • Jan 24th, 2008 • Category: National Football League

There is no “most important” position in football. At the Pro level teams are so competitive that any glaring weakness will undercut a team’s possibility for winning regardless of whether they have a great QB, center, offensive line, etc. Remember the Ravens in 2000 or the Bears in 1985. These Super Bowl champs had [...]



Greatest Team Ever- NFL

By motle • Jan 17th, 2008 • Category: National Football League

I am not sure you can really name The Greatest Team ever. Since there are so many great teams that have played over the decades.
You have the Cowboys and Steelers of the 70’s
You have the 49er’s of the 80’s
you have the Cowboys of the 90’s
Then you have the Patriots of today.
All played in different decades. [...]



Phillip Rivers talks…

    Why is Phillip Rivers’ smack talking such a big deal?
Isn’t it part of the game? Smack talking is done in all of sports, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Golf, Baseball, Soccer, on all levels, so why is it a big issue now?
 
Care to disagree?
