Somehow following this lackluster season, five Dallas Cowboys were selected to participate in the 2011 Pro Bowl, the NFL’s annual All Star game.

Saints in must-win mode for remainder of the season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers win over the woeful Seattle Seahawks put the New Orleans Saints in a precarious situation for the rest of the season. The Saints must win at least one of their final two games to make the postseason. However, the problem is that both of their final opponents will be tough teams [...]

Cowboys Fall to Cardinals 27-26 on Christmas Day

Dallas Cowboys kicker David Buehler missed an extra point that would have given his team a 3-point lead over the Arizona Cardinals with just over two minutes to play on Christmas Day. Opposing kicker Jay Feely made him pay with a 48-yard field goal with 10 ticks left to give Arizona a 27-26 holiday victory. [...]

My Interview with a New York Jets Blogger

I want to thank Jon Presser of our very own Rant Sports’ Jets Report for taking a New York minute to sit down with me and talk about this Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Field Conditions In Minnesota are a Concern for the Chicago Bears vs. Vikings Game

Punter Chris Kluwe of the Minnesota Vikings expressed his concerns about the field conditions. On his Twitter page, he said the field is like concrete and he’s concerned about concussions and other injuries. Why is this game being played at a stadium that isn’t ready for the NFL? It was decided less than a week [...]

Saints get clipped by Ravens, 30-24

The Saints’ defense was no match for the Ravens’ Ray Rice, as he nearly single-handedly downed the Saints 30-24 in Baltimore on Sunday. Rice, who had 233 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, led an offensive attack that the Saints struggled mightily to stop. While Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco passed for two touchdowns and 172 [...]
