Oddsmakers like the Broncos

January 09, 2013 | John Morgan

NFL Playoffs: Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers

January 11, 2013 | John Morgan

While there has been a lot of talk that Green Bay should win because of the difference between quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers have such a better defense and run game that it makes it tough to envision a victory by the Packers.

This and That (The Real Deal)

January 12, 2013 | John Morgan

Wild Card weekend did nothing to advance Commissioner Blockhead’s dimwitted idea to expand the playoff field. For the most part, the losers looked like they didn’t belong in the tournament. There’s reason to expect better – much better – with the division

Even after last week's win few are giving the Falcons much of a chance. If Atlanta could beat Seattle at home, then why can't they knock off the 49ers as well?

This and That -- Wired

January 20, 2013 | John Morgan

My New Year’s resolution to stop picking on the jets is once again a miserable failure. But surely you can understand that it is not my fault – the 24/7 Freak Show continues throughout the jet’s typically prolonged off-season. Who could possibly resist?

Physical vs Finesse: which players or positions need an upgrade?

January 27, 2013 | John Morgan

Jets QB Geno Smith fires agents because he wasn't drafted 1st overall

April 30, 2013 | John Morgan

Unbelievable. Confidence is one thing, but this is delusional arrogance. Geno Smith wasn't drafted in the first round because he wasn't a first round talent; why is his own lack of talent the fault of his agents?
