Cowboys still holding out hope for Romo return
With seven losses already on the books, the Cowboys aren’t likely to find their way into the post-season this season, but that hasn’t stopped them from doing everything they can to get quarterback Tony Romo back on the the field prior to the end of the year.

After watching his team continue their shocking implosion from within today against Green Bay, Vikings owner Zygi Wylf is undoubtedly mulling over the future of head coach Brad Childress as I write this, and despite the assurances he’s given to Childress throughout the season, the second mid-season dismissal of a head coach is close to [...]

19 November 2010
One of the biggest reasons (literally and figuratively speaking) why Miami’s defense has been successful this season at shutting down opposing offenses has been the play of nose tackle Paul Soliai, who has come into his own after scuffling through his first three seasons. Soliai has racked up 17 tackles and one sack in seven [...]

16 November 2010

Coming off the Vikings disappointing 27-14 loss in Chicago earlier today, most felt it was only a matter of time before Brad Childress was shown to the door, given all the drama surrounding the team as a result of his poor decisions on and off the field this season.

11 November 2010
The past month or so has been forgettable for the Vikings, as they’ve struggled immensely on the field to find the magic they had last year in their run to the NFC Championship. That said, it’s been even worse period of time for their quarterback Brett Favre, as he’s not only had to deal with [...]
