I truly do not understand why Tebow haters feel that he is forcing his religion on them. All he does is thank God for his success, and act like a professional should. Even when commentators, other NFL players, and fans mock him he never lashes out, he always responds with class.Which makes me ask the question, why do T-haters hate? I can only think of one answer...because he doesn't acknowledge

For the last 3 seasons I have bitched about Romo. His turnovers, lack of leadership, terrible decision making have been in my eyes why the Cowboys can't get over the hump.People point to his stats as the proof in the pudding, saying he is always at the top of the league in passing yards and TD's. My argument to that is that he has the most talented team around him in the NFL, and what would be a

If you ask me Donovan McNabbs carreer is officially over, but some seem to think that the trade is going to work out for both McNabb and the Redskins.Here is an article from ESPN talking a bout the transition. ASHBURN, Va. -- As Chris Cooley talked Thursday about how easily Donovan McNabb was fitting in during his first week with the Washington Redskins, the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback was

I heard he had a pretty nice throw around yesterday but didn't get to see it. Personally I think he could have done just fine with his throw the way it was. Athletics and throwing form are not all it takes to be in the NFL. Hard work and Heart is harder to come by then God given talent.I think he will be successfull no matter what he does or where he goes, what do yall think.

Well, at least to me it was...a colts fan. It seemed like the perfect storm of crap that happened for the Saints to win. But that's nothing new, they did it all season. If only Brett hadn't thrown that interception I would be loving life right now. Oh well, there's always next year.

Call it Da Deal.Not since the beer-and-brats days of Jim McMahon, Saturday Night Live spoofs and the Super Bowl Shuffle in the mid-1980s have the Chicago Bears fielded a bona fide star quarterback.

Bottom line: the Cowboys were a joke this season. They have many things they need to change before they can even think about making the playoffs. One of the biggest looming decisions is whether or not the Cowboys should keep TO. I personal think he is a waist of money and plays like he has no heart, and would rather see the Cowboys go down a little in talent, to improve on chemistry and work

Here is a great article I read on Fox Sports by Ian O'Connor talking about why Peyton should get win the MVP vote. I thought it was a great article and I agree he should win it.Peyton Manning is the NFL's most widely marketed player, and yet he was destined to spend this season, as they say, under the radar. Even an alarming injury could not elevate his personal drama to a level of pressing

What do you guys think about this? I thought Goodell was a hard ass and was trying to convey he was done putting up with thugs. So much for that persona. He is going to let Pac-Man back in again after two more games of suspension. The Cowboys have gone from Americas Team to a band full of thugs. I think they should have a gang war with Cinci.
