Mike Shanahan out in Denver

Earlier today the Denver Broncos fired their Head Coach, Mike Shanahan. This came as a surprise to many, myself included. After this development I listened to several ESPN analysts say that Shanahan hasn’t been effective since John Elway retired. Then I read a couple message board threads about how no Rams fans [...]

Annual NFL Awards

Our best commenter, Michael, has again requested a post. That was two weeks ago, so it’s about time I put it up. It won’t be as in depth as I had originally intended, but this is it. Here is a list of the major awards given out on a yearly basis in the NFL with [...]

2008 NFL Power Rankings (Week 17)

I’ll still try to do rankings among the playoff teams each week of the playoffs, but it will be difficult to use the formula I have because the other sources I use to average into my formula don’t continue doing their power rankings, but I’ll try to come up with a way around that. Until [...]

Next Year’s Winter Classic

The NHL’s Winter Classic is about to take place on New Year’s Day from Wrigley Field in Chicago. Featuring the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings.

By now most of you know how much of a boiling hatred I have for the new england patriots. I remember practically dancing while I wrote this post and making Bryan write this post because I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it in a non-biased way. At this point you might be asking [...]

NFL Draft Order

According to my calculations, the NFL Draft Order among the non-playoff teams looks like this:
(Keep in mind that this does not take into account playoff teams that have a poor enough win/loss percentage to give them a top 20 pick in the draft.)

In the NFC the seedings look like this:
1. New York Giants
2. Carolina Panthers
3. Minnesota Vikings
4. Arizona Cardinals
5. Atlanta Falcons
6. Philadelphia Eagles

Weller’s Bowl Picks Revisited

Because I know he won’t do this, I’m going to go ahead and do it for him. A little while ago, he came up with Bowl Predictions for each Bowl Game. Now we’re going to see how well he’s done. The Florida St.-Wisconsin game is still in progress, but I’m going to [...]
