About John »

Real Sports are Contact Sports
but the same isn't always true the other way
That means you wrestling, boxing isn't that terrible but the heavyweight class sucks and is boring, and hockey has gone off on a face dive in recent years, so there is only one real sport...
Football!!!
well that's not totally fair but it is what it is and football is my favorite sport
basketball, boxing, and everything else will always take a back seat to football in america and in my heart
the piece of my heart dedicated to football will always place the colts above everything else in any era

Hello......I agree with Manning to Harrison as #1 as I am a big Colts fan....I am in an argumennt about this topic. We are arguing which has been the best in NFL history. I am arguing for Manning to Harrison and he is arguing for Montana to Rice. Do you think you could help me prove that Manning to Harrison is better? Thanks!

I'm back, after a two week break.... I've missed you guys.

I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Yup, we know what that means. No ring. Ever.

So what's my favorite Eagles team of all time? 2004? Nope.

Everybody is always talking about which team has the best fans in the NFL. You see the rankings all the time. It's the ultimate goal of every group of fans. It's not just the fans of the best teams either. Eight of these 10 teams missed the playoffs in 2008.

Nobody gave the Arizona Cardinals a chance to go this far in the playoffs (including myself). I think most of us owe them an apology. If you have time, let me know what you think!

Eight teams remaining teams in the NFL playoffs. All eight teams are showing signs it's in their destiny to win it all. If you have time, let me know what you think!

Matt Ryan deserved Offensive Rookie of the Year. Not only were his numbers impressive but he helped turn around a Falcons franchise that had a disastrous 2007 season. Does this make him the best player to ever win the award? If you have time, I'd love for you to read it and let me know what you think!

thanks for the comment and the read...

As a Peyton Manning fan from his days at the University of Tennessee, I felt compelled to give you the add. As long as the Colts aren't playing the Steelers or Titans, I'm rooting for them!
