In the early game the Packers scored two second-half touchdowns to come from behind and defeat the Cowboys 26 – 21. In the second game barring two miraculous scores the Colts are going to defeat the Broncos. It’s currently 24 – 13 with under 3:00 to go. Manning and the Broncos couldn’t get any offense …
The Pats held off the Ravens in a wonderfully watchable game, 35 – 31. They now await the winner of tomorrow’s Colts – Broncos game. This one wasn’t decided until there was only 1:39 left in the game, when Flacco was intercepted in the end zone by Duron Harmon. After three kneeldowns the Pats punted, …
I said and thought negative things about the Dallas Cowboys at the beginning of the season, and they have proven me wrong, winning today’s wild-card game against the Detroit Lions. I do wonder about that pass interference call that was made by the officials at 8:18 of the 4th quarter with the Lions driving and …
Amidst 39 bowl games there was bound to be one I wish I’d seen, and it turns out to be yesterday’s Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas. The winning Houston Cougars were down 31-6 with fourteen minutes left in the game and came back to score 29 points including a two-point conversion with 1:06 …
With apologies to Jim Mora, today’s first two NCAA Division 1 football playoffs ever were wildly successful, I thought. First, in the Rose Bowl, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota led his Oregon Ducks past Florida State and last year’s Heisman winner Jameis Winston in a rout, 59-20. In the other playoff game at …
Here’s a useful TV schedule of football games this month and next. I notice that there are only four games televised by a broadcast network, and none of those four are big important games. The playoffs (Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl and the College Championship) are all on ESPN, which is cable. That means that …
With its win over in-state rival Arizona State today, Arizona gets to play Oregon next week in the Pac-12 Championship Game. As SI says: Arizona in the playoff sounded like a peyote-induced hallucination at the beginning of the year, yet at the end of November, the Wildcats are not only in the conversation, they might …
The U of Hawai’i football team won its third game of the season this afternoon in San Jose. The victory broke a 17-game road losing streak. It was also its first shutout in 10 years. Good for the kids. Maybe the coach can breathe a little more easily as well. He’s Norm Chow, a longtime …
Hmm. 9th-ranked Arizona State is up 34-17 over 10th-ranked Notre Dame in the third quarter. Unranked Texas A&M is up 35-24 on 3rd-ranked Auburn with 4:41 left in the third quarter, but Auburn just scored to get within 11 points. 11th-ranked Old Miss destroyed Presybterian 48-0, a shocker. 12-ranked Baylor whupped 15th-ranked Oklahoma 48-14. Top-ranked …
In about fifteen minutes, at 8:00PM ET, Florida State’s football team will host Notre Dame’s football team. Each team is undefeated halfway through the season, so the hype has been tremendous. There’s an added dimension to it, because FSU’s quarterback, Jameis Winston, is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. The trouble is, he’s also a kid …
