Violence in Youth Sports: A growing trend? A downward spiral, and a young man’s brutalization

It is becoming more prevailing in our society, the “win at any cost” mentality. Sure, that’s what competition is based on at any level. As coach Herman Edwards once said “you play to win the game.” But when is that mindset “Overkill?” At the professional level we expect athletes to give 110% all the time [...]

Best Super Bowl Ever? Maybe? Or not. Now It’s Time to Worry

First off, lets give both teams their just due for getting there amidst tough competition. That out of the way, It doesn’t matter weather the better team won or not, and my contemporaries in “big” media should stop blaming everyone and everything else but Peyton Manning for the interception with just over 3 minutes to [...]

Super Bowl or Stupor Bowl: Kick off can’t happen soon enough

It’s been a great pleasure of mine to have been able to watch this game in many places in the past. In my home, out at parties with others, at sports bars, and live in person as both a fan and a member of the credentialed media. As someone who has seen every super bowl [...]

A Different Kind of Super Bowl Preview

I have been listening for two weeks how the Colts have this one wrapped up by about 25 points. Even though I’m picking Indy to win, not so fast on the blow out people. This is going to be closer then any one imagines, at least for the first three quarters.
Both teams are powerhouse offenses, [...]

The UFL Opens in New York (In A Stadium Soon To Be A Memory)

It was a long wait from the first announcement of the United Football League until Thursday night when a game was finally played in front of a local audience. While it wasn’t a “packed house” at the Meadowlands for the game between the California Redwoods and the New York Sentinels, the crowd was at least [...]

Welcome to another session of Dr. Football’s class called “Viewing Pro Football 421″, a 4th year undergraduate class. Today’s topic: Will the UFL be successful in todays market?
Sure it’s been done before. Another Pro Football League, you laugh. No one [...]

What If There Was A Field of Dreams For Football?

I think I found it this past weekend in a small town in Rockland County, NY.
It’s called the “Collegiate Development Football League.” Based in the little town of Hilburn, the CDFL really is the “second chance” for 18-24 year olds who feel they can still play the game at a high level. The brainchild of [...]

The UFL Ready To Go For 2010

NEW YORK – If you had said to me three years ago that a new professional football league would start up and play games during the fall, when the NFL and College Football (not to mention High School Football) were in full swing, I would have suggested some sort of substance abuse recovery program.
Two years [...]

NFC Draft Wrap

I will admit you have to give the Giants credit for getting as many needs filled as possible. GM Jerry Reese knew he would need not one, but two receivers in this draft. In Hakeem Nicks(Rd1-29th overall), they get a natural talent at the position who runs pass routes well, has excellent speed, both before [...]

AFC Draft Wrap

The NFL Draft is where the wild things are. This year the Jets fans were more then just wild, They were wildly happy that owner Woody Johnson gave GM Mike Tannenbaum and Head Coach Rex Ryan the Green light to trade up for USC QB Mark Sanchez. But Is Sanchez what the NY Jets really [...]
