Here are my five thoughts on the game. 1. Brady Being Brady: Tom Brady was on point last night. I hate using this cliche but he had the eye of the tiger. Brady finished 25-38 for 406 yards and three…
Storyline: The Patriots host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since the Patriots beat Baltimore 35-31 in the 2014 playoffs. The Patriots are currently atop the AFC standings with a 10-2 record and need to win tonight in order to maintain their lead over the 10-3 Kansas City Chiefs. For the Ravens, they are now in second place in the…
The Packers crushing the Seahawks and the Giants sweeping the Cowboys highlight a wild and snowy Week 14 in the NFL. 1. If you wrote the Steelers off three weeks ago, you made a big mistake. Big Ben and company are back and with the offense clicking on all cylinders, they’ll be a tough out in the playoffs. 2. I think it’s safe to say that the Cleveland Browns will…
Russell Wilson and the Seahawks invade Lambeau Field to battle Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in a key NFC showdown. 12/11 1:00 ET At Tennessee -1.5 Denver 44: The Broncos have been good on the road the past two seasons.

I can’t for the life of me understand how a 2,000 yard rusher is not a Heisman Finalist. The Heisman committee released its list of finalists ahead of Saturday night’s Heisman Trophy presentation. The finalists are Lamar Jackson, quarterback (Louisville), DeShaun Watson, quarterback (Clemson), Jabrill Peppers, Athlete (Michigan), Baker Mayfield, quarterback (Oklahoma) and Dede Westbrook, wide receiver (Oklahoma). I don’t necessarily have a problem with that list but there are…
It’s official. I am officially on the eight team playoff bandwagon. I’ve always felt it was necessary but I never really lobbied for it. I am now going to start lobbying for it now because too many good teams got left out of the playoff this season. How does a team who wins arguably the best conference in college football this season not make the playoff? Penn State deserves to…
Game Rewind: Tom Brady picked up career win No. 201 as the Patriots beat the Rams 26-10. Here are five thoughts on the game. 1. Brady Hits 201: What more can you say about T0m Brady? Seriously.

Tom Brady’s 201st win as quarterback of the Patriots highlighted Week 13 in the NFL. 1. Tom Brady is now officially the winningest quarterback in NFL history with 201 career wins. Brady surpassed Peyton Manning after yesterday’s 26-10 win over the Rams. Brady downplayed the accomplishment as usual but it was a big deal. The Patriots are now 10-2 on the season. 2. Hey, maybe the Detroit Lions are for…
It’s Championship Saturday in College Football. By the end of the day, we will have a pretty good idea of which four teams will end up in the college football playoff. Pac-12 Championship Game No.8 Colorado Buffaloes vs. #4 Washington Huskies: The Huskies got a dose of reality two weeks ago when they lost to USC but they bounced back in a big way last week by crushing Washington State for…
