Nov 2nd
Guest article by 6boyds
Who would have ever imagined? The Tennessee Titans, led by coach Jeff Fisher, are the last undefeated team in the NFL this season. In week one, Vince Young went down (physically and emotionally). The team was left on the shoulders of Kerry Collins. Wait, Kerry Collins? The Kerry Collins that was drafted in 1995, has played for five different teams, and has a career quarterback rating of 73.4? He’s leading a team to an undefeated season? Alright, he’s had to have had some help. We’ve got LenDale White, who fell in the second round due to character More >

Hey, did you hear the news? An NFL player got arrested on a drugs charge! What? You think this sounds familiar? You mean to tell me drug charges in the NFL, which is run by strict Roger Goodell, are frequent occurrences? Get out of here! Alright, alright, so it happens all the time. The latest player to be arrested is Santonio Holmes, wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, let’s be honest here, this wasn’t his first brush up with the law, but I’ll admit I was surprised. After his first two charges, both occurring in 2006, More >

To many, North America is sports heaven; the NHL, the NBA, the NFL and MLB plenty of exciting sports to watch and get into. Having been born in Canada (in Québec to be exact), I got to enjoy sports heaven until I was 22, which is when I immigrated to England. Moving to another country is quite an experience, plenty of ups and downs but once you’re settled, you realize what you really miss from what you could almost call your past life. For instance, getting the newspaper in the morning and starting to read it from More >

Titans Enjoy Sole Undefeated Record
When the 2008 NFL season began, fans and analysts alike speculated, as always, regarding the league’s best teams: would the New York Giants repeat their championship bid? Would they go undefeated? And which teams was part of the NFL elite that would challenge them? Would the New England Patriots return to the Super Bowl? Or would San Diego or Green Bay return to the playoffs and upend the reigning conference champions, or perhaps it would be another perennial powerhouse, like the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Seattle Seahawks, or a return to the title by More >

Guest article by 6boyds
Although the expression “defense wins championships” is thrown around by football fans around the world, defense cannot seem to win the hearts of sports card collectors. While many players, such as Bob Sanders and Julius Peppers, are considered franchise players, offensive players receive the love of the majority of collectors. How many times do you see a nice sack on ESPN? How many times do you see a short touchdown by a running back? Exactly. The same goes on in collecting, as there is a certain stigma against defensive players, for whatever reason. Offensive players are glorified More >

Guest article by Deesto
Brett Favre’s football heroics are well-documented, legendary, and numerous. And with the 2008 NFL season, Favre looks to relocate the ending of his storied career to a new town: by bringing Favre to New York, the Jets hope to build their own tradition to rival that of Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
In the move to New York, Favre replaces incumbent Jets’ quarterback Chad Pennington, who, despite successful seasons, playoff appearances, and an all-time leading completion percentage with a mediocre team, was expected to battle Kellen Clemens once again for the Jets’ starting job.
