 Beyond the storyline of the two #1 seeds facing off in the Super Bowl, there is also the underlying power of two of the leagues top quarterbacks in Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. The comparison of their stats will be over-analyzed all week, but at the end of the game on Sunday, nothing will be of more importance.
Peyton Manning: The Leagues reigning MVP is more than worthy of the award. Manning is...

 Thought #1- If you were afraid that with the Jets failing to make the Super Bowl you would be forced to have two weeks absent of Rex Ryan's antics, put your mind at ease. Rexy made a series of bad decisions Saturday night which resulted is a sweet photo of him sporting a goofy grin behind a fully raised middle finger at a MMA event in Miami. Now Rex is a different breed that's for sure, but mistak...

 Back in 1988, the Kansas City Chiefs used the third overall pick of that year's draft on a promising young defensive end named Neil Smith from the University of Nebraska.
In the season that followed, the Chiefs ended up with the league's worst rush defense, hemorrhaging a horrific 162 yards per game. That season, the Marty Schottenheimer-led Chiefs floundered their way to a 4-11-1 record.
In...

 Here we go again. This debate never seems to end. I was one of those people that was unsure, until last season. The New York Post has a story in today's paper in which Joba Chamberlain states he wants to be in the Yankees starting rotation.
Chamberlain is planning to report to Tampa this week, ahead of many others. The team has told him to prepare as if he is a starting pitcher, so that's ...

 I am not going to sit here and say that all the other sports have better all star games than the NFL does, because they don't. The idea of an all star game sounds cool, except for the minor fact that no one cares.
Fans of the NFL don't care because their favorite team will not be affected by the outcome of the game. The players don't care because their career is already basically set once they h...

 In 2002's Spider-Man, the Green Goblin gives this fantastic line:
But the one thing theylove more than a hero, is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. Inspite of everything you have done for them, eventually they will hateyou. Why bother?
No one would have guessed that this is exactly what would happen to the Spider-man Franchise. Despite bringing in millions of dollars, despite showing ...

 The Yankees and Mets have both been in the news lately.
The Yankees and Johnny Damon's camp has been going back and forth about why the two sides were unable to come to a contract agreement. Damon was on WFAN this past week to talk about it. The free agent left fielder did say the Yankees made a few offers that he declined. Despite declining those offers, Damon was hoping for more discussions in...

 Thought #1 - The Saints are going to the Super Bowl and like any Super Bowl bound team, team merchandise sales are through the roof. Great news for local Saints merch hawks right? Well not so fast. Apparently the NFL has felt the need to go Sheriff of Nottingham some of the local t-shirt vendors, claiming they own the popular phrase "Who Dat." The league has sent letters to the vendors demanding t...

 Don't count Tebow out – I find it amusing how the Nintendo (instant gratification) crowd has already written off Tim Tebow at the beginning of his procareer. If Tebow does not quit he has plenty of “doubter fuel” to propel him tosucceed at whatever position he wants to play. The so called draft experts allmissed on Tom Brady so I do not buy into this early dismissal of Tebow as a QB.This kid appea...

 The only relationship that might rival that of Tiger and Elin Woods over the past year, might have been that of Brandon Marshall and Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels. And just like that of Tiger and Elin, it appears that it might be over.
According to the Denver Post, Brandon Marshall should be traded "soon after March 5". March 5th marks the start of free agency and opens the door ...
