Thanks to the Houston Texans’ 28-16 loss at Indianapolis last Sunday, the Patriots secured the AFC’s second seed and a first-round playoff bye with their own 28-0 drubbing of Miami. This will be the third straight year that New England will avoid the Wild Card round. The Patriots will return to action on Jan. 13 [...]
Now that we know the Texans will be traveling to Foxboro next Sunday to face the Patriots in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, let’s take a look at the two remaining Wild Card Round teams in the AFC. If the winner of Sunday’s Colts-Ravens game beats the Broncos next week, they would be [...]
- The first thing that we all took away from this game is the injury to Rob Gronkowski. The injury definitely hurts as Gronk does a lot more for the offense than just catch passes and spike footballs. He is one of the more dominant blocking tight ends in the NFL today and his presence [...]
This year has been notable for many things in the NFL, one being the high number of rookie quarterbacks starting. This may have had something to do with the success of 2011 rookies Andy Dalton and Cam Newton, as each started every game last year. This year there have been five first-year quarterbacks who have [...]
All good things inevitably come to an end. Or perhaps in this case, all great things. Earlier this week the Indianapolis Colts cut former quarterback Peyton Manning in the most dramatic move of the offseason. His release and new life in free agency creates many different scenarios of how the league will be affected, mostly [...]
The 2011 season is now over and it is time to predict who will take home the Heisman trophy. This year was one of the craziest years for the Heisman because there were a handful of players that could have taken home the award. Without further ado the final Heisman standings: 1. Trent Richardson, RB, [...]
With only championship week left we break down the top contenders to win the Heisman. With many of the top contenders not playing this week, there is not much room for players to change voters minds. 1. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama Last Week: 27 carries, 203 yards, 1 receiving TD Season: 263 carries, 1,583 yards, [...]
The Heisman race is as tight as ever entering the final week before the conference championships. A couple familiar names have re entered the race, while the top two remain unchanged. 1. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama Last Week: 32 carries, 175 yards, 2 TD’s Season: 236 carries, 1380 yards, 20 TD’s Trent Richardson once again [...]

1. Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford Last Week: 29-40, 330 yards, 3 TD’s, 1 INT Season: 174-242, 2,218 yards, 23 TD’s, 4 INT’s Last week Andrew Luck showed why so many people have him as their favorite to win the Heisman trophy. After throwing a pick six, to put USC up seven, Luck marched right back [...]
The college football season is past the half way point and I think we have gotten to the point where three players have separated themselves from the pack. Two of them are household names, while the third was a former WVU commit who almost got benched before the season even started. 1. Andrew Luck, QB, [...]
Now that seven weeks are in the books we are starting to see some separation at the top of our Heisman standings. Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson are starting to pull away from the pack. Meanwhile, Marcus Lattimore, someone who was a candidate all season had his season come to an end with ligament damage [...]
It’s hard to believe that we are already at the half way point of the college football season. The race for the Heisman is heating up and now is when players make their case for the trophy. To this point there has only been two surprises in my eyes for potential Heisman candidates, Russell Wilson [...]

Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama Last Week: 29 carries, 181 yards, 2 TD’s Season: 96 carries, 622 yards, 10 TD’s In Richardson’s last four games he has rushed for at [...]
Were now through four weeks of college football and this is about the time we start to see players solidify their position as a Heisman candidate. Once again I have reshuffled my Heisman standings, this time due to a loss. Remember it’s not just about individual statistics, but how your team performs during the year. [...]
