2016 AFC Championship Game

By: Da`Vince “Dino” Wright

Denver Broncos 12-4 AFC WestNew England Patriots 12-4 AFC East

Date: Sunday, January 24th

Time: 3 p.m.

Place: Sports Authority Field @ Mile High Stadium Denver

TV: CBS

Why you shouldn`t watch this game:

The pastor of your church asked you to visit a church for fellowship. And the service starts at 3 p.m.

Why you should watch this game:

We had “Spygate”, “Deflategate” and now we want to see how the Patriots will cheat on Sunday.

Let`s call it “Mountaingate”

Will this Peyton Manning`s last stand? Will Brock Osweiler come in if he begins throwing interceptions? These are the questions that lingers in the heads of Bronco faithfuls.

Will Tom Brady be “Tom Terrific” or will the Broncos defense disrupt his flow? The quarterbacks will be the keys to victory.

New England Patriots

Six AFC Championships and winning 4 Super Bowls is Tom terrific? Everyone in New England says he is. Tom Brady is the undisputed leader of the team but has the fire to keep proving everybody wrong. When the Patriots lost to the Broncos earlier this year no one in the Northern part of the country question his heart, drive or spirit. He came back firing on all cylinders. The New England Patriots will always find a way to win.

Denver Broncos

Denver has led the NFL in every defensive category across the board. The defensive line has recorded 17 sacks combined and linebackers added 11. Talib Aqib and Chris Harris, Jr. are the “Air Thieves” so throwing on these guys will be a problem by itself. Stopping the run and clogging the A gaps will be the Broncos game plan. We can talk about the quarterbacks all day, but defense wins championships. This defense was mentioned as the second coming of the “85 Bears”, now that`s a great compliment.

My Prediction

The Broncos will beat the Patriots by 6 points. Bookies and Las Vegas is giving the Patriots 3, but they`re dead wrong in this case. Once again I hate to say I told you so...

Is going to court to prove the NFL and Roger Goodell wrong really the best strategy for the Patriots, Robert Kraft, and Tom Brady?

NFL: Tebow Right Fit In New England

by Rodney Fisher

Tim Tebow will be joining the New England Patriots this upcoming NFL season as the third string quarterback on the roster. This move as been rumored since Tebow was released from the New York Jets, but with the official announcement today, this seems like the right fit for both.

The end of the Tom Brady Era?

There comes a point in every great quarterbacks career that his franchise makes a difficult decision to part ways. The 49ers had to part ways with Joe Montana. The Packers had to sever ties with Brett Farve and even the Colts had to release Peyton Manning in start a new quarterback era. History has shown us that this was not a voluntary move on the quarterback's behalf. Let's face it. Many quarterbacks don't know when to retire and many teams ride with them too long.

History has also shown us that teams that stand by their convictions and trade

Peyton upstaging Brady-Eli Super Bowl rematch - Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports

INDIANAPOLIS – Welcome to the home of Super Bowl XLVI, site of the epic rematch between Tom Bradyand Eli Manning – brought to you by a third quarterback who hasn’t even taken a snap this season.

Yes, sports fans, Peyton Manning is about to hijack the buildup to the Ultimate Game, thanks to the impending divorce between the icon and the franchise that happens to be hosting the spectacle.

Don’t even try to fight it: Even if Manning and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay stop sniping at one other publicly for the next seven days, there’s too much conspicuous chest-puffing, too much intrigue and too many media folk in need of stories...

Tim Tebow is a Legitimate NFL MVP Candidate; Second only to Rodgers

We have to remember this award is an individual award. A true candidate has to be the Most Valuable Player on the team. We know what the Broncos without Tim Tebow are....1 - 4. Look at the situation in Indianapolis with the winless Colts. Lose Peyton Manning and you lose the entire season. All the years that Peyton had success with the Colts could now be looked at as MVP seasons. Aaron Rodgers deserve the same mention with an undefeated Packers team. Tom Brady deserves it also for overcoming a terrible defense to be top in the AFC, for now. Tebow has 11 TDs to 2 INTs. He has made the rushing attack of the Broncos #1 in the league. He has totally changed the psychology of the entire franchise against every obstacle.

This Sunday the Broncos have a chance to beat the Patriots. If they lose this game nobody will bat an eye, because after all Tebow's luck has to run out some time. But if he wins in his trademark fashion, he should be second in the running behind Rogers.

Why is Tom Brady, Vincent Jackson, Drew Brees, and 7 other players holding the fans from the NFL?

It sounds strange, but true! The big issues are off the table including rookie pay scale, veteran benefits, and game schedule. The hold up now appears to be the 10 plaintiffs in the case filed against the NFL. Some are seeking cash benefits in the $10 million range and others want special accommodations guaranteed by the owners and the NFL. Is this fair for 10 players to hold up 1,900? How do you feel as a fan?

Antonio Cromartie calls out Tom Brady; "He's an ass****"

  With the playoff showdown set, Jets vs Pats III, the trash talk has been flying back and forth. Coach Rex Ryan started his banter even before the Colts game saying nobody studies film like Peyton Manning, not even Tom Brady though he would like to think so.
  Bill Belichek, as always, has asked his team to adopt his stoic demeanor this week when baited by the press or the opposing team for headline fodder. Today things took a slight turn for the worst when Jets CB Antonio Cromartie shared his thoughts on Pats QB Tom Brady. When asked to describe him in a word, he used "asshole". He went on to say, "That's what I think about him. I don't really give a damn about him...I don't have to play against him. I play against the receivers."

  Tom Brady's response, "I've been called worse. I'm sure there is a long list of people that feel that way."
   Cromartie added that he hopes Brady throws the ball his way on Sunday. "I hope so, I really do. I hope he throws the ball 10 times my way -- more chances to make him pay."
