If  hindsight is 20/20, The Carolina Panthers can see clearly now.  That is clearly see the back of Steve Smith's Jersey.  Clearly management for the Panthers could be second guessing their foresight.  Steve Smith, now with the Baltimore Ravens, was a forgotten blip on many NFL fans radar as season started.

The Ravens were looking to get back to focusing on the football after a week of turmoil. They did just that as they came up with a big effort to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-6  on Thursday night. Baltimore looked very sharp on both sides of the ball as they notched their first victory of the season.

Super Bowl XLVII Preview

Super Bowl XLVII has history in the making, it matches up the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. Maybe even more compelling it has the Harbaugh brothers duel. There are plenty of  story lines for this game, Ray Lewis's "last ride", as he is set to retire. Is Joe Flacco really ready for the "big stage" and if the young gun Colin Kaepernick is ready to put himself along with Joe Montana and Steve Young, as 49er quarterback greats. Along with these great story lines, this should be a great game too.

The Baltimore Ravens reached the Super Bowl after

Harbough brothers make NFL history

   The prediction of the Harbaugh brothers facing off against one another on SuperBowl XLVI has came to life. Two of the most outrageously talented head coaches in the NFL will be colliding in New Orleans on February 3rd. Both John and Jim have met once before on Thanksgiving day in 2011, where the

Is this the year of the Harbowl?


 Two of the best coaches of all time have a chance to face off in SuperBowl XLVI. John and Jim Harbaugh are two brothers whom are dedicated to their teams! San Francisco 49ers coach, Jim, has a way of getting the job done, as well as John, the Baltimore Ravens head coach. Both men strive to

Does Everybody Have To Love Ray Lewis Now?


In Life, everybody makes a mistake or two. However, most people do not play professional football or make a mistake that changes a life. For Ray Lewis, he did have that mistake, he repented and supposedly changed, and is now being praised as an humanitarian, and a Hall of Fame football player. For some they are still heartbroken, and will never see what Ray Lewis stands for now. This story has been critiqued, and dissected a million times, but as I watch the playoffs, and see him being worshipped and put on a altar of greatness, I cant help but think about the families that didn't get to see their sons achieve greatness. I also cant help but to feel a little sick about polarizing a man who has brutal truth buried inside him.


It was Jan 31 2000 and Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker were out late and doing what every young 24 and 21 year old does, having a good time. Ray Lewis and his entourage were partying too, at a posh nightclub after Super Bowl XXXIV. After leaving the nightclub Lewis, and some friends got into his limo when supposedly a liquor bottle hit Reginald Oakley, a music producer and former barber, whom Lewis met at University of Miami. We all know what happens next, a fight ensued and it left 2 men stabbed and left there to die. It is worth pointing out that Lollar was 24 years old, and his fiance was pregnant when he died. Baker was 21.Witnesses seen Lewis's limo speed away

NFL Weekend Recap: AFC and NFC Championship is set

After a NFL weekend for the ages, the conference championships are set for next weekend. Fans get an AFC rematch from last year and a NFC team gets another shot.


Falcons 30 Seahawks 28
The Atlanta Falcons and Matt Ryan finally exercise their playoff demons by defeating the hottest team in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks in heart attack fashion. The jumped out to an early dominate lead over Seattle 20-0 at halftime. Russell Wilson finally got the offense going in the third quarter connecting with Golden Tate for a 29 yard touchdown. After the third quarter, the Seahawks went on a 21 point run to take the lead for the first time with only  :31 seconds left in the game. With the weight of Atlanta on his shoulders, Matt Ryan lead a 2 play scoring drive with the help of Roddy White and Tony Gonzales capped with a 49 yard field goal from Matt Bryant.

Coach Smith said in his post game comments, "Our quarterback is a special player. They call him Matty Ice, but I feel like we've got two Matty Ices. There's Matty Ice Ryan and Matty Ice Bryant."

This Falcon win was not easy, but again beating Seattle is easy at all. They played their way into the number one spot in the NFC and today they earned. This is Matt Ryan first playoff win in 4 attempts.

49ers 45 Packers 31
Reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers could not match newcomer Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers made a quarterback change after Alex Smith, the QB that took the 49ers to the NFC Championship last year, suffered a concussion. This was the game that it all made since.

"I didn't know how fast he was. Coming in I never really paid attention to it. But he is fast", says Green Bay Packer Charles Woodson.

Kaepernick rushed for 181 yards breaking a postseason NFL record for quarterbacks set twice ironically by Michael Vick when he played with the Atlanta Falcons. In his first playoff game, he ran for 2 touchdowns and threw for 2 touchdowns.

Colin Kaepernick's comments after the win, "Our receivers  our tight ends, blocked great outside, and our running backs were running hard, so it made it easier on me."


Ravens 38 Broncos 35
It took 2 overtime periods to decide a winner in a NFL battle that will be apart of two Hall of Fame career summaries, Ray Lewis and Peyton Manning. The story of this game starts with what is now being called the "Flacco Fling" as Joe Flacco hit Jacoby Jones for a 70 yard touchdown on 3rd and 30 with :31 seconds left to play.

"At that point you have to start taking shots." said Flacco. "You have to get a little lucky."

NFL Wildcard Weekend Recap...Or something like that

Texans over Bengals 19-13

Matt Schaub gets his first post-season win, but let's be honest...the Texans don't look that good. Yes, they won the game, but I don't think the Patriots have anything to worry about.

Packers over Vikings 24-10

Am I the only sports fan that didn't want to watch the game after hearing Christian Ponder was not going to play. Watching Joe Webb throws balls in the dirt was the total opposite of watching Aaron Rodgers play. I can only imagine what Minnesota people are thinking...maybe, "How hurt was Ponder?"

Ravens over Colts 24-9

Andrew Luck will be a great quarterback in the NFL for a long time, but like most QBs he needs that loss in the playoffs on his record that drives him to seek revenge against the league. This was that lost. It was almost tearful watching Ray Lewis do his last introduction dance in front of the home crowd. Unfortuantely, I think their road ends in Denver next week.

Seahawks over Redskins 24-14

Falcon be very afraid of your bird cousin from the great northwest. The Seahawks look like the toughest team in the NFC after coming from 14 down and dominating 3 solid quarters of football. RG III looked hurt right after the his second TD throw. Makes you wonder what would have happened if Kirk Cousins came in earlier in the game. I also wonder if Russell Wilson told Griffin after the game if, "this game means nothing"
