2006 Indianapolis Colts season

Florida and South Carolina. He took two struggling programs in Duke and South Carolina to new heights. At the age of 70 Coach Spurrier decided it was time to step down. He also did it in the middle of the season which some people including myself thought he should stay until the end of the season. It’s rare for a coach of Spurrier’s caliber to just walk away. Other legendary coaches have been criticized for staying to long. The names Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno come to mind. How many times in…

It is clear that the Brady and Jastremski are both aware about the issue and wanted to talk about it. It’s important to note that in the 20 years that Jastremski has worked for the Patriots, he had never met with Brady in the quarterback room. He also said that the meeting only lasted a few minutes and walked out a happy man because Brady had praised and thank him for the preparation of the footballs for the AFC Championship Game. He said they did not discuss anything relating to the deflation…

Patriots. “Spygate”, which accused the Patriots of videotaping opposite teams play call signs so that they knew what they were going do before they did it. There was also “deflategate”, which happened in a game against the Colts. The Patriots deflated balls so it made it hard for the Colts to throw them. Also, Brady is thought of by many to be a system QB. He takes plays from the coach, audibles from time to time, and just makes accurate throws. He’s been under the guidance of Bill Belechik, the…

Last Sunday, the Buccaneers escaped with a win against the New York Giants. Kicker Nick Folk grazed a 34-yard field goal to knock off the Giants 25-23 and send them to 0-4. Folk had previously missed two other field goals and an extra point in the game. The Buccaneers have the New England Patriots on Thursday in Tampa. When the scheduled came out saying we had to play the Patriots, I won't lie, I thought we were in for a bad game. Now I look at this game as a very easily winnable game. The…

The New England Patriots are currently 7-1 and are tied for the best record in the NFL. Even though it is only the midway point of the season, the Patriots still sit atop the AFC East with a 3 game lead and are currently the number 1 seed in the AFC along with being atop most NFL power rankings. Since week 5, Tom Brady has returned to the starting lineup for the Pats and has torched the league for 12 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in 4 games. Along with the return of Brady was the return of…

Nick Saban has one of the best in lost records as a head coach in college football with; 191 wins, 60 losses, and 1 tie. “As a head coach, Saban has averaged 9.55 wins per season. He has dipped below nine wins only seven times and has won at least 10 games in eight straight seasons, including going 14-0 in 2009. In 14 seasons as an SEC coach, Saban has won at least 10 games 10 times” (ESPN). When you see this you may be thinking, well he must be playing teams that are not any good and you would…

The Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl: Would they have made it? As of October 2015, a record of 12-4 would have certainly earned the Falcons a playoff spot, with perhaps a first round bye. Did that, however, mean that they were contenders for the 2016 Super Bowl? It was likely, but 3 things hindered the Falcons from getting to the second Super Bowl in the history of the franchise: First, the Falcons had not won consecutive playoff matches since 1998. Second, in the NFC playoffs, Matt Ryan was…

stepped foot on the field. Vick’s very first collegiate game as a redshirt freshman he scored three rushing touchdowns in just a quarter of play. In 1999, he lead the Hokies to an undefeated season (11-0 win – loss record). It turns out that Florida State was the only team that beat them during this season. They took a 46-29 victory over the Hokies in the Nokia Sugar Bowl in 1999. Vick was selected first in the 2001 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons…

themselves in practice or in games he does not like when they start yelling or cursing. I have seen bad records by the Seahawks, but this is the worst of all. In 1992 the Seahawks had their worst season ever only beating two teams during the season. They went two and fourteen during this terrible season the teams they beat were…

Giants seem to do best after a few years of mediocrity. Well, three seasons after their Super Bowl XLVI victory over the New England Patriots, the Giants find themselves under pressure to win once again. The G-Men haven’t made the playoffs since hoisting their second Lombardi Trophy of the Eli Manning era, and now both Eli and head coach Tom Coughlin are under fire again in New York. With Manning’s contract expiring after this season, both Eli and Coughlin may be back on the job market come…
