For the Super Bowl champion Steelers, Jeff Reed has been Mr. Clutch, or Mr. Automatic over the years when it comes to key kicks at key moments. Sunday, let’s just say it was not one of his better days. Reed missed two critical fourth quarter field goals that would have likely pushed the Steelers to [...]

Smith Quickly Stepping Up as the Go To WR in New York
Sometimes in the world of sports you get the opportunity to witness the breakout performance of a potential superstar. That exactly what I saw on Sunday night. A young talented receiver caught more than passes in Dallas. Steve Smith caught my eye. Sunday night in front of 110,000 plus in Dallas, Smith had 10 receptions [...]

In the end, it probably wouldn’t have mattered if Donovan McNabb would have played or not. The Eagles on Sunday were handed their lunch by a Saints team that simply played better, as they walked out of Philly with an impressive 48-22 win that was complete with another big day from Saints QB Drew Brees, [...]
Raiders Wake Up Late; Top Chiefs 13-10 in KC
Good teams find a way to win, bad teams find a way to lose, really bad teams find a way to go 2-25 over their last twenty seven games which is a worse record than the Detroit Lions over the same time period and they went 0-16 last year. The Chiefs may have reached a [...]
Bengals Make a Statement in 31-24 Shocker Over Packers
On the bright side, the Bengals won a game Sunday that just about no one thought they would win. On a down note, how nice would it be to be 2-0 right now and tied with the Ravens for the lead in the AFC North? Oh well, there’s nothing you can do about the fluke [...]
