The NFC playoff picture isn’t quite as complicated as the AFC but there are a few spots to fill in the final month of the season. We’ve played 13 weeks and right now all we really know is that the Packers and 49ers will be in the playoffs. The Saints should win the AFC South up two games with four to play while the Cowboys hang onto a one-game lead over the Giants in the NFC East. [...]

I played for coaches in my career that preached and drilled a physical brand of football. Tackle hard, push the envelope and put that style on tape for the entire league to see.

I don’t think so.

First and foremost, I’m a St. Louis Rams fan (as made obvious by the sports banner of four years above) and I despise [...]

It’s just a preseason game, but the Detroit Lions 34-10 win over the New England Patriots on Saturday has to be encouraging for fans of the oft-maligned franchised. The Lions came storming out of the gate and never looked back, establishing a 27-10 lead by halftime and adding a fourth quarter touchdown for good measure. [...]

Fans of the Detroit Lions have suffered through way more than their fair share of pain and embarrassment over the past decade, watching their team stumble through disappointing season after season with the same painfully bad result each time.

From suffering through the Matt Millen era to seeing their team become the first in NFL history to finish a season 0-16 [...]

There are many naysayers out there in the sports world. Many people believe a team will fail for personal or realistic reasons. Often Bears fans expect the Vikings to lose and for them to win. Sometimes Jets fans expect the Patriots to lose and Jets to win. Yesterday those are things that only those groups [...]
