It is becoming more prevailing in our society, the “win at any cost” mentality. Sure, that’s what competition is based on at any level. As coach Herman Edwards once said “you play to win the game.” But when is that mindset “Overkill?” At the professional level we expect athletes to give 110% all the time [...]

First off, lets give both teams their just due for getting there amidst tough competition. That out of the way, It doesn’t matter weather the better team won or not, and my contemporaries in “big” media should stop blaming everyone and everything else but Peyton Manning for the interception with just over 3 minutes to [...]

It’s been a great pleasure of mine to have been able to watch this game in many places in the past. In my home, out at parties with others, at sports bars, and live in person as both a fan and a member of the credentialed media.  As someone who has seen every super bowl [...]

It’s not just the end of an era-it’s the end of my youth. When the New Jersey sports and exposition authority opened Giants Stadium on October 10th 1976, I was in my youthful teen years, both in life and in football. The New York Giants would not become a decent team again for about five [...]

It was a long wait from the first announcement of the United Football League until Thursday night when a game was finally played in front of a local audience. While it wasn’t a “packed house” at the Meadowlands for the game between the California Redwoods and the New York Sentinels, the crowd was at least [...]

Most people do not look at the NYC area as a breeding ground for NFL level talent, but if you look hard enough, you can find players will do more then just make a roster at the next level. The very first player you notice when you talk about NYC area players is Fordham University’s [...]

When Coach Norries Wilson came to Morningside Heights in January of 2006, my first thought was “now there Is a man who will restore a sense of pride to the football program.” At the time, I didn‘t know how right I would be. Aside from the team improving In each of the last two years [...]

Why risk it? That is what I would think If I were Coach Coughlin. So the guy started 82 straight games. It’s not like he has Brett Farve’s ego.  New York is 4-0, and can’t afford to loose Eli now that he’s probably playing his best football, at least since the championship run, to date. [...]
