Take a look at how other teams would react to the Seahawks amount of injuries.

We have some good interaction from fans of other teams, get in on it!

I appreciate it.

If predicting the Lions to upset the 'Skins last week wasn't bold enough, check out my upset prediction this week:

I think you'll find that a bold prediction! :)

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.
