Although the cold was bitter, it didn’t stop one running back from being on fire. Derrick Ward and the 12-3 Giants beat the 11-4 Panthers in an overtime thriller, 34-28, to clinch the number one seed, and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Ward, ‘Wind’ in ‘Earth, Wind, and Fire’, rushed for a career high 215 yards, including a 51 yard scamper, and an 18 yard gain on the final possession to set up the winning TD

Ok, it’s tough to see anything positive in Sunday’s 31-14 loss to the Titans, but as always we have to look on the bright side. Right

It’s week 16 in the NFL and things are slowly falling into place regarding the playoffs. There are a lot of good games this weekend, so lets just get right to the point. This weekend’s best: Ravens (9-5) at Dallas (9-5): Even with Dallas playing defense well lately, we like the Ravens offense to outdo them, in what will likely be game of the week

They’re finally here! For the majority of fantasy football leagues, the championships have arrived. (Personally, I am playing for the league title in both of my two leagues.) Who can you trust to lead you to victory?

Vince Young is suing former major league infielder Enos Cabell and two other men for applying for a trademark to use his initials and ?Invinceable?…

Well Titans fans, this is it. The biggest game of the season by far for this Tennessee team. A win and they have home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
