From 2010 through 2013, the NFC West was a division heavily dominated by the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers as the Seahawks and 49ers looked like they were about to become the next big rivalry in the NFL. However, that didn’t last long after 49ers head coach, Jim Harbaugh …
What a year it was for Army West Point Football in 2017. Head coach Jeff Monken guided the Black Knights to just their second ten-win season, the other such campaign coming in 1996. For the first time since 1996, Army also won the coveted Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy after narrowly defeating Navy during a …
No, I am not saying this as a disgruntled Yankees fan. This is merely an objective perspective. Is it fair that the Yankees, a team on pace to win 102 games, is virtually guaranteed to be in the do-or-die wild card game while the Indians (on pace for 91 wins) …
Even though the AFC West has been a pretty competitive division throughout the years, this division has seen many teams repeat as division winners since the 2000 season. The Oakland Raiders had a three year streak of winning the division from 2000-2002, the San Diego Chargers had a four year …

As I mentioned in a previous article, any chances the Yankees had to intensify the race for AL East supremacy dwindled to infinitesimal levels. They are 8.5 games behind and appear positioned for another Wild Card game showdown. Yet, the baseball gods could be rewarding us in another way. If the …
Regardless of how fervently and ardently one follows a team, it is important to remain realistic and objective. That certainly stands true for the 2018 Yankees season. Listen, this is not 1949, when the Yankees defeated the Red Sox on the last day of the season to win the pennant. …
Within the past decade, the NFC South has been a very competitive division that some years has produced more than one playoff team and had teams make deep runs in the playoffs. Since the start of the 2009 season, three different teams from this division have reached the Super Bowl …
