His contributions have been that important. How, might one quip, ‘is that possible?’ Afterall, he struggled mightily through his first two seasons after being a […]
It isn’t like the Giants needed anything else to go wrong. Winning breeds good chemistry. Losing breeds descension. Since the Giants own one of the worst records in the NFL this year and since the expectations were so high, this was bound to happen. Cornerback Janoris Jenkins has been suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules, […]
The Eagles game against the winless San Francisco 49ers went pretty much the way most people thought it would. The home team was at least three touchdowns better than the 49ers and when it was all over, the 33-10 score at the rain-soaked Linc showed the predictions were accurate.

If you look at the San Francisco 49ers’ 0-7 record you may think “how can the Eagles lose to these guys?” If you look at their record closely, you can see how the Birds could lose to these guys. The 49ers are a solid team that simply hasn’t closed out games this year. San Francisco […]
Life in the fringes of the NFL can be a little crazy. Every year dozens of players are released and re-signed throughout the year as injuries occur and various teams’ needs change. Running back Kenjon Barner was a sixth round pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2013. When it didn’t work out there he found […]
PHILADELPHIA: They say in life timing is everything. You’re either in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time.

The last time the NFL let Jerry Jones host a major NFL event at AT&T Stadium is was a disaster.
On February 6, 2011, the stadium hosted Super Bowl XLV in which the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31–25.
Hours before kickoff, over 1,200 seats were blocked off in the interest of safety; according to a police officer in the affected area, the seats hadn’t been finished in time for the fire marshal to inspect them. Approximately 800 people were given other seats inside the stadium, thus costing the NFL any chance of setting the Super Bowl attendance record (the final figure of 103,219 came 766 short of the record set in Super Bowl XIV.
