Pick Six Super Bowl XLVI
1. WR Wes Welker feels it worst, but he wasn’t the only one. He will be kept awake at night by a fourth quarter drop that would had been a first down inside the 20. On the next play, WR Deion Branch let a pass hit the ground as he crossed deep over the middle. On the Patriots final drive, Branch dropped another pass over the deep middle. It appeared the ball was deflected,...

Previewing Or Reviewing the Super Bowl
I’ve been avoiding the internet like a plague all day, albeit a plague that I would desperately like to get a piece of. Writing about a super bowl that has already occurred but of which I don’t know the outcome is a bit like apologizing a couple minutes before unfurling a massive fart. Anyway, I’m feeling cautiously optimistic about this game that has already...

Hours Before Kickoff Super Bowl XLVI
Just four years ago the New York Giants pulled off arguably the greatest upset in Super Bowl history by beating the 18-0 Patriots, ruining New England’s bid for perfection and keeping the Pats from their place in history.The emotions from that loss are still raw.

Breaking Down the Bowl New York Giants
Following a dreadful loss to the lowly Washington Redskins to fall to 7-7 with only two games left, everyone had counted out the New York Giants. That is, everyone except the Giants themselves, who kept their quiet confidence as they rolled off two victories to end the season and squeak into the fourth seed in the NFC. Then they mustered up two dominant performances as their defense...

Breaking Down the Bowl New England Patriots
Shockingly enough, the supposedly ring-bearing Patriots haven’t won a Super Bowl since the 2004 season. As great as they have seemed in recent years, they’ve flopped when it comes to the postseason. This year has been different. They’re currently on a ten game win streak where they’ve avenged their horrible 2009 loss to the Ravens on their way to a rematch...

Pick Six AFC Championship
1. DT Vince Wilfork was in beast mode all afternoon. Six tackles and a sack doesn’t begin to explain his influence on the game. Wilfork had at three tackles for a loss and his share of pressure on QB Joe Flacco. It was a dominant performance by a team leader showing what it takes to get to a Super Bowl. It was arguably Wilfork’s best game in the biggest game of the year...

NFL Championship Chop-Up
It's hard to believe that the NFL season is already coming to an end. It comes and goes so quickly that sometimes we forget to stop and smell the turf. This season has been another exciting one (despite the persistent failures of my Cowboys) where teams that didn't have high expectations made a playoff run (49ers, Broncos, Bengals) and teams that were expected to contend...

Pick Six Divisionals
1. Regular season or post season. It doesn’t matter. The Patriots keep on breaking records. QB Tom Brady became the first player to throw five touchdown passes in one half of playoff football. He also tied a post-season record with six touchdown passes in a game. Brady did this while throwing for 300 yards in a playoff game for the first time. To top it off, Brady executed...

Saints Defense Cakes It
You have future Hall of Famer QB Drew Brees practically giving you the game scoring TD after TD late in the game. However, the 49'ers answered back. They won 36-32 thanks to a Saints defense that played terrible in the last 3:00 of the game. Despite 5 to's the Saints were in this thing, ready to face the winner of Giants/Green Bay game.
