I’ve noted many times that the NFL Combine is the most overrated event in sports when it comes to gauging talent, yet every year I get caught up in what a guy runs or what a guy jumps or what a guy throws (combine studs that probably went a bit high: JaMarcus Russell, Donte Stallworth, and jus...

Es dürfte sich mittlerweile herumgesprochen haben, das gestern während des Länderspiels das CMS der Website von Schalke 04 geknackt worden ist und islamische Terroristen (oder sowas ähnliches) eine Meldung über die angebliche Entlassung von Kevin Kuranyi auf der Homepage platzierten. Das Ganze ...

"It's a great opportunity to get a field goal to win the game, but at the same time it's a total team effort," Gould said. "The offense battled back. And the coin toss went our way. The offense played well just to get the ball down in range." [Chicago Tribune]...

Last Week: 9-6 On the Season: 97-89 Locks of the Week: 13-5 Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers (-10): The last time these two teams played, the Chargers defense had six sacks. Coincidentally, that was the last time the Chargers looked like the Chargers. San Diego is done with their playoff run. Bu...
