The NFL has been trying for years to sell the importance of an exhibition all-star game to its players from a marketing standpoint, yet now that the AFC quarterback roster consists of Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans, David Garrard of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans, it doesn’t appear they are buying in; at all.

I admit, using the word HATE is a little strong. I just think the way the NFL does the Pro Bowl is wrong. This year, as we know, the Pro Bowl is being held the weekend before the Super Bowl.

You just played in the playoffs and all 16 games, are you really too injured or are you sore losers who just don’t feel like playing? More alternates.

It’s time again for the post game report card. After a disappointing loss to the division rival Texans, it’s pretty fair to say there won’t be much good to report. More »


The Tennessee Titans started off week 2 against the Houston Texans with a familiar air. At the start of the second quarter, the Texans trailed the Titans 21-7- but that didn’t last long. More »
