I've been stewing on something since last Thursday night. It was the Eagles-Viking game in the second half and the Eagles, who eventually won 34-28, were up by 14. D'Andre Swift was carrying Philadelphia's offensive load. He finished the night with 28 carries for 175 yards. QB Jalen Hurts only threw 17 passes, 4 to Devonta Smith for 131 yards. So what was all-star wideout A.J. Brown doing on the […]

It can turn the tide of a match, transform a seemingly lost cause into a thrilling victory, and leave opponents gasping in disbelief. The Jacksonville Jaguars, an NFL franchise based in Florida, have earned a reputation for their electrifying speed on the field. In this article, we'll […]
The NFL 2023 Season Has Begun: Travel Planning Considerations Any die-hard NFL fan already knows by now that the NFL has started and week 1 has already gone by. The first game on week two has also already started, with the Philadelphia Eagles surviving a late push from Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings, winning 34-28 on Thursday Night Football to move to 2-0 on the year. With the […]
The growth of sports in the last 50 years has been amazing. Pro football tops the charts by far, but most others are experiencing spurts in popularity like never before. One of those is golf. The men's professional game has gone global and offers the kind of money that the traditional major sports pay their athletes. A big part of golf's growth has been in the women's game. The LPGA […]
SEC football fans enjoy bragging about their football. And they have every right to do just that. The SEC has dominated college football in this century, winning 17 national titles and losing in several others, plus dominating the top 25 polls. In fact, SEC fans have earned the label "SEC Snobs". But have you noticed how quiet they've been this season? And, for good reason. The SEC […]
After only one week, one lousy week, the preseason narrative about the NFL has been shattered. So much for the home-field advantage. Ten of 16 road teams were victorious. So much for the strength of the AFC. The NFC was 5-0 vs. the AFC. So much for close games. Half of the 16 winners won by double digits. So much for the off-the-charts excitement in New […]
It's difficult to win games in the NFL. Gimmes are few and far between. Many Jaguar fans may have been surprised their team had to rally in the 4th quarter -- thank you defense -- to defeat the lightly regarded Colts in Indianapolis. No surprise really. NFL games are usually decided by a single digit. I believe the confusion is because many of us are both NFL and […]
Here's my advice for local area football teams for the weekend: Florida -- Clean up the Gators' act for Game 2 against major underdog McNeese State. No more sloppy, unforced penalties and bone-head plays. The Gators weren't going to defeat Utah no matter how well they played but they looked unprepared. FSU -- Keep a level head after the Noles' impressive victory over LSU. Southern Miss offers little […]
During the fall there are two weekends where football takes a backseat to other sports for me. One is the Ryder Cup which matches the best American golfers against the best Europeans. The World Series is the other. We're a long way from knowing who'll play in the Fall Classic. But Cup teams are now set for this year's matches, which will be played in three weeks in […]
