Brett Favre threw his team's playoff chances right into the arms of the Miami Dolphins, giving them the AFC East title while keeping the 11-5 New England Patriots out of the playoffs. The Jets might just be fed up with the decision making of their quarterback (last item), while in other AFC East qua...

The Detroit Lions showed true devotion to the perfectly awful cause today while the rest of the NFL North showed why they should consider CFL applications. Or maybe KFC applications. • Two interceptions from Dan Orlovsky and a failure to recover more than one of the three fumbles Green Bay coughed...

This picture comes from earlier today when umpire Garth DiFelice defended himself from a charging Kenneth Darby with a textbook right cross jab to the chin. Or at least that's the way it looks to me. UPDATE: Black Sports Online has come through with video of the assault. As for the unrelated, non-pu...

The Raiders, the Redskins, and some teams that actually still matter at this point in the season. • Falcons at Vikings Today's top late affair features two teams with eyes on the playoffs. Atlanta can clinch a wildcard berth with a win and hey, they're actually playing like it! The Falcons lead 14...

Sure most of the one o'clock games didn't exactly light it up on paper, but most of them remained moderately competitive, and downright watchable throughout.

Wade Phillips will enjoy one of the few benefits of "natural insulation" today. I don't understand how, at 8-4, everyone is counting...

Chicago 20, Jacksonville 3. If you drafted Matt Forte in fantasy this year, JUST SHUT UP ALREADY! Yes, nice job taking a risk on a guy that was in every magazine's top 15 RBs. You're a real riverboat gambler! Forte has 52 yards on the day and the scorn of 11 of every 12 fantasy owners. Philadelphia ...

Chances are the weather sucks where you live right now. Rain, sleet or snow was a factor in five of the 1:00 games, and it's currently coming down hard in New England and New York. It also all but extinguished the playoff hopes of the Bills, Packers, Saints and maybe even the Redskins. Tampa Bay and...

Seattle fans wear their heart on their sleeve and their logo on their head. No wonder Sonics fans were so pissed off. Jim Zorn and Mike Holmgren have been feeling each other out like a Mormon couple on their honeymoon and neither side has looked all that fluid. Clinton Portis has been running wild (...
