Last week, two of the top ten best-selling jerseys in the NFL were for running backs (Najee Harris- PIT, Derrick Henry – TEN). It’s not totally unusual for players at that position to get such recognition by fans but it can be uncommon. …
Another NFL regular season is in the books and we have a new post season to look forward to. There have been a couple of surprises which will have a lasting effect on who wins Super Bowl 54: Namely, the Patriots are…
The time has come, my NFL friends. We’re finally on the brink of a brand-new season. And, I think it’s going to be a memorable one. Several long-languishing organizations finally have a legitimate chance to make it very deep into the post-season. (I’m…
Another Super Bowl and the Patriots are in it, again. Yey. Can’t you just tell my enthusiasm? Like others who are tired of New England in the big show, I’d rather not have to pick them to win again. But, that’s where this…

Blake Bortles, QB (Jaguars) JAX 33 at SF 44 Yes, I was surprised to see Bortles as the Week 16 passing leader, too. The 25-year old is not devoid of talent, but his 2017 season is muddled with mistakes and…
Eli Manning, QB (Giants) PHI 34 at NYG 29 The 36-year-old QB proved that he’s still very proficient under center during the Giants’ Week 15 loss to the playoff-bound Eagles. Manning was the week’s passing leader as he completed 37…
