The Philadelphia Eagles, my NFC Super Bowl pick, are now 0-2 after dropping a desultory 20-12 game to the Washington Redskins. For the second week in a row, the Philadelphia offense was offensive. Donovan McNabb looks like he’s on the downside of his career, the “receivers” are that in name only and the Eagles have […]

I was so disappointed in LaDanian Tomlinson’s whining after his team’s playoff loss to the Patriots last season (“They showed no class at all . . . and maybe it comes from the head coach”), and he hasn’t stopped since.

The radio call by the Appalachian State announcers on the last play of the shocking win at Michigan is priceless.

This headline accurately reflects the sentiments of Michigan football fans everywhere after the Wolverines lost their season opener, 34-32, at home to Appalachian State. Who? Yes, the Division 1-AA team from tiny (13,000) Boone, N.C., went into the Big House and knocked off No. 5 Michigan before 106,000 stunned and angry fans. The Mountaineers kicked […]

Condolences to New Orleans Saints fans — Sports Illustrated picks the Saints to win the Super Bowl, a sure sign the team is destined for a lousy season. Last year, the SI braintrust picked Miami and Carolina to be in the Super Bowl and neither team made the playoffs. SI tabs San Diego to lose […]

In his first three series against the Colts on Monday, Rex Grossman fumbled twice and threw an interception. It’s only preseason, but Grossman is already in Super Bowl form. —Jim Buzinski In his first three series against the Colts on Monday, Rex Grossman fumbled twice and threw an interception.
