To Bench Or Not Bench? That Is The Question In The NFL Today
Surveying the landscape of the NFL in week 5, one thing struck me. The Buffalo Bills won this week, but so what? The Bills won 17-14. Last week they lost 23-17. Take a guess how many field goals the Detroit Lions missed this week to help the Bills get that win. If...

We Have A New Last Place: NFL Week 4 Power Rankings

Who Sucked and Won This Week In The NFL
Ok, I’m getting the tasteless joke out of the way early. Did you see that Colts game? They beat on Jacksonville like they was Adrian Peterson and the Jaguars was a defenseless four year old. Ba-dum-pum ching. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I’m here all week. Tip...
NFL Sunday: THAT’S Why They Call Them Rivalry Games
