As expected on Tuesday at the NFL owners meeting, New York/New Jersey’s bid for the 2014 Super Bowl was approved and the first cold weather city will host the season’s biggest game outdoors in the elements. This issue seemed to be a foregone conclusion with the construction of the new $1.6 billion facility, but there were still some dissenting votes unsure on the logistics of such a large scale event if weather became a factor. New York/New Jersey beat out both Tampa and another South Florida bid for the honor as they each fell by the wayside during the voting process. From travel for the international crowd attending to the fear of the game itself being a bit of a disappointment, there were still some holdouts unwilling to give the idea of a cold weather Super Bowl the green light.

Okay, stop me when this sounds familiar… the Denver Broncos could be looking to make a move at quarterback… STOP! In what promises to be an interesting saga, there are rumors floating around that Denver is shopping one of the four quarterbacks currently on their roster. The team traded with the Cleveland Browns to acquire Brady Quinn back in March only to turn around and draft former Florida Gators signal caller Tim Tebow in the first round of April’s NFL Draft. Needless to say, Denver’s depth chart under center is getting rather crowded with incumbent starter Kyle Orton and third stringer Tom Brandstater left wondering what is going on. More »

I know it’s not Christmas yet, but I’m asking the Chicago Bears organization for my present early this year. What’s on my wishlist? Several things, but what is most important is what is not on my wishlist. And that would be Terrell Owens. Yes, it looks like the all-me wide receiver may be trying to make his way into Chicago. And the worst news of the NFL off-season has officially arrived. More »

Different year, same offseason story for fans of the Minnesota Vikings or even just diehard Brett Favre devotees that hang on the Mississippi gunslinger’s every word. The word from this past week is that the soon to be 41 year old quarterback has undergone the necessary procedure on his ankle to remove scar tissue and bone spurs according to Favre’s website. Many will remember the severity of the ankle and hamstring injuries sustained by Favre in last year’s postseason and just how purple the two injuries were as seen in these photos. More »

In what has started to become a regular thing for him, Redskins’ defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is once again the center of attention in Washington, with rumors still flying that he could be traded in the near future. If the Redskins want to get any value out of this trade, they better do it now. Because the longer they wait, the more his value goes down. It’s as simple as that. More »

Some really awesome NFL stadiums saw their last football game in the 2009 season. First there was Texas Stadium, former home of the Dallas Cowboys, that gave way to what can now only be known as “Jerry-World.” And now we turn our attention to Giants Stadium, which saw its’ press box go boom a few days ago.

I do love sports video games. While I’m not a hardcore gamer, I do tend to give most sports video games a shot. Of course, the crown jewel of those games is the Madden series. As of late, the Madden series has been pretty underwhelming in my opinion. Which is why I had already made up my mind that I would not be buying Madden 11 when it hit stores August 10th. But now, I will most certainly be purchasing it. Why? Because our favorite enthusiastic commentator Gus Johnson has officially taken over the reigns as the new play-by-play man. More »

Most folks dream of taking vacations in February to escape the cold and go to warm destinations like Florida or Arizona. Planning the most globally attractive championship game in the world at a venue that doesn’t fulfill those characteristics seems like a questionable decision, but the NFL seems poised to make that choice. At an owner’s meeting on Tuesday in Dallas, the dollars and cents (certainly not sense) behind the NFL scenes will assemble and discuss the possibility of having a Super Bowl in the New York metropolitan area at the new Meadowlands currently under construction.

There’s the quite the dilemma facing the Tennessee Titans right now, as all-world running back Chris Johnson is holding out for more money from the organization, and it’s looking like there is no easy solution in sight. We’ve seen this situation plenty of times with the Titans. They don’t like to pay top-dollar for one player. But they better change that theory this time around, or risk losing the most valuable player in their franchise, and perhaps in the entire league. More »
