The New England Patriots and New York Giants will kick off Super Bowl XLVI tonight in Indianapolis in one of the most legacy-heavy championship games in the history of the league. Every Super Bowl has its storylines, heroes and legends, but this particular game has a chance to legitimately change the way we look upon and remember some its biggest names. Tom Brady and Eli Manning. Bill Belichick and Tom Coughlin. Patriots and Giants. One of these two storied franchises will win their fourth...
I am far from being any kind of expert on addiction. The vast majority of you would say the same about yourselves if asked in a vacuum. Yet when a famous ballplayer like Josh Hamilton falls off the wagon like he did on Monday night, so many of us seem to have so many strong opinions about it. Opinions that go beyond our mere reaction to the news. Opinions about Josh Hamilton‘s character. His “weakness.” His motivations. His heart. About the nature of addiction. Opinions like this...

If the NFL season could be seen as an orchestrated strategic campaign, a war, then the Pro Bowl is its Vietnam, its Persian Gulf II. In an age where the league's brightest stars can be seen in cable TV highlight packages and satellite subscriptions, pro football's All-Star Game is obsolete, and has been for some time. Why are we still here? By here, I mean Honolulu, a city whose appetite for touch-style football ranks up there with bowls of poi and funny-looking shirts. The best players in pro...
The Pro Bowl is just around the corner and, if history is any indicator, it will be quite the offensive affair. Epic defensive struggles rarely take place in Aloha Stadium—instead, the offenses for both teams are usually left to run wild and free. For this reason, the following list has been compiled with a deliberate and unapologetic offensive bias. Aloha and enjoy! 7. Sebastian Janikowski Putting a kicker on a "Players We're Most Excited to See" list may seem like an...
With the 2012 NFL Pro Bowl just a day away, we can now reflect on the rosters for this season. Granted, there will be some players missing as the New York Giants and the New England Patriots will be playing in Super Bowl XLVI, but there's still a very talented group of players for the AFC and NFC teams. With that being said, not all of the players are deserving and should not have been selected to the Pro Bowl team this season. In that spirit, here are the five most undeserving players on the...
The NFL's popularity contest, also known as the Pro Bowl, is usually set before the season even starts at certain positions. Every year, guys like Ray Lewis and Logan Mankins are a lock to make it, even if their play does not deserve it. It is an unfortunate aspect of the system, and it is a big reason why a lot of guys who made it this year are never going back to Hawaii, at least not to play football. Some guys are just too old to expect another big season out of them. Here are five...
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—The New York Giants have their own Super Bowl formula: in overtime and on the road. And with Lawrence Tynes’ foot. Five plays after the 49ers’ Kyle Williams fumbled a punt, Tynes kicked a 31-yard field goal in overtime, sending the Giants to the Super Bowl with a 20-17 victory over San Francisco in the NFC championship game Sunday. In another tight one in this decades-old postseason rivalry, both defenses made key stops before New York capitalized on a rare mistake in...
