Jets at Steelers: You can’t pick against either team with any confidence. The J E T S, Jets, Jets, Jets, are on one of those historic runs. They’ve beaten Peyton Manning and Tom Brady is successive weeks. Their defense has played brilliantly in both contests. They’ve overshadowed Pittsburgh’s own amazing divisional battle with the Baltimore [...]

For those of you that loathe southerners chanting “SEC” whenever a member school accomplishes something of merit, like winning a National Championship, things have gotten worse.

Now, your friend that is a fan of Kentucky or the coworker that is Ole Miss alum can prance around and chant “SEC” through this t-shirt.
No matter which powerhouse [...]

Gil Meche officially announced his retirement Tuesday at the tender age of 32. This would not surprise me, especially after the season he had in 2010, where he went 0-5 with a 5.69 ERA. No, I wouldn’t be shocked if not for one small detail: he walked away from a $12.4 million salary.

If the right-hander would have chosen to stick[...]

The Steelers are known for physical play, strong defense, and a solid running game. Recently they have improved their wr corps so they have a viable passing attack. The passing game is now more respected than the running game.
One method of approach to the upcoming Steelers/Jets AFCC game:
Speed and Deception:
The Jets focus on the Steelers [...]

As I sit here and try to process the news that Friend, Brother and JETS fan Scott Wedell (NYSR) lost his brave fight against Cancer I wonder why he didn’t get to live a long and fruitful life.

Everyone here that talked to Scott and read his posts, were amazed at his knowledge. For someone so young he had a great grasp of both the NFL and College Football scene…

1. Pitt: 18-1, 6-0 (Last Week Ranking: 1)
I have said it before and I will say it again; if I am picking a coach to lead an all-star team of college players and cannot pick anybody with the last of Krzyzewski, Jamie Dixon is my guy.* Pitt has no superstars but they play as unselfishly as any team in the nation, make the most of every offensive possession, and get after it on both ends.* Plus, they just do not lose at the Zoo.[...]

It’s not like the Cowboys had much of a choice about whether or not to hire a new defensive coordinator. Wade Phillips was dumped in the middle of the season, and Paul Pasqualoni was never more than an interim solution.
So they went out and got themselves what was arguably the best candidate around in Rob [...]

Generally when talking about Mike Wallace the first thing you think of is “Man, can that kid fly!” and not, “Man, I really hope we can not go up top to him time after time.” But, if the Pittsburgh Steelers want to take All Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis as far out of the field of play as legally possible, then that may just be what they need [...]

Let us begin by expressing how sexy we think Joey Votto is.
Moving on. The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to give the reigning National League MVP a three-year contract worth $38 million, buying out his final arbitration years.
This is pretty great news for Joey, considering the first baseman made just $525,000 last season.
Votto made his very first [...]
