Green Bay Packers defeat the Chicago Bears and are now Super Bowl bound
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Championship, News, NFL, Playoffs,
The Green Bay Packers went into Soldier Field to play the Chicago Bears and came out the victors in one of sports' greatest rivalries. It was the 182nd meeting between the two NFC North teams and it was a match-up as good as it was going to get - a game that determined who would go to the Super Bowl. In the end, it was the Packers with a 21-14 win, led by Aaron Rodgers and the much ballyhooed Packers defense led by Clay Matthews and a B.J. Raji interception run back for a touchdown. The Packers will meet the Pittsburgh Steelers for the right to be called Super Bowl champions.

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, News, NFL,
Brett Favre has officially filed his retirement papers with the NFL, a move many people anticipated, especially after such a horrid 2010. Will Favre hold true with his fliing and never play an NFL game again? It is possible for retired players to come back, but with his consecutive starting streak gone, the Vikings in a battle with the city of Minnesota regarding a new stadium or the possibility of moving, and being in his 40s, Favre will likely retire this time. He was one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game with multiple MVP awards, a Super Bowl, and owning the main passing all-time records.

Denver Broncos hire John Fox as head coach
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Front Office, News, NFL,
The Denver Broncos have their man for the head coach position. Former Carolina Panthers coach, John Fox, will be joining the Broncos after a lame-duck type of season with the Panthers. Fox, known for his defensive prowess will bring that mentality as the main piece to build his Broncos team and just like Carolina, should be able to bring the Broncos back to its glory. The question now becomes, how will he use Tim Tebow as Tebow seems to be the franchise quarterback fans have been yearning for since the days of John Elway, who actually was the main decision-maker in getting Fox into the fold.

Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newtown declares for the NFL Draft
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Drafts, NCAA, College Football, News, NFL,
Cam Newton, quarterback of the Auburn Tigers, has decided to forego his senior season and declare for the 2011 NFL Draft. Newton had a big junior season at Auburn, leading the Tigers to a national championship, as well as college football's top individual prize, the Heisman Trophy. Newton is a versatile quarterback that could both throw and run the bell at a high level. However, production in college doesn't always translate to the NFL, but Newton has a good shot because he also has the physical tools to succeed right away. However, will the pay for play controversy that hit him this past season be a detriment to his draft spot? Time will tell.

Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: News, NFL, Playoffs,
Yes, the Seattle Seahawks were the home team, but with a 7-9 record, they weren't the favorites to win this match up versus the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. However, the Seahawks did win, pulling an unexpected feat, even pulling a double-digit lead (34-20 after three-quarters) before Drew Brees worked his magic and got the score to 34-30 with about nine minutes left in the game.

New York Jets beat Indianapolis Colts 17-16 on last second field goal
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: News, NFL, Playoffs,
In what was a grudge match between the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts, the hype before the game was certainly warranted as the contest was decided as the clock wound down. The Jets were able to pull out a win, exacting revenge for last season's AFC Championship loss. With the Jets up 14-13, Peyton Manning was able to lead the Colts down the field to set up an Adam Vinatieri field-goal to take a 16-14 lead with 0:53 seconds left on the clock. It looked all, but over. However, Antonio Cromartie took the ensuing kick-off for 47 yards, giving the Jets excellent field-position. It paid off, along with a Mark Sanchez to Braylon Edwards 18-yard completion to get the ball to the Colts' 14-yard line. Then with clock ticking off the clock, Jets kicker Nick Folk hit the game-winning 32-yard field goal to give the Jets a 17-16 victory. A Rex Ryan-led team finally beat Peyton Manning and the Colts. Hallelujah. The Jets move on to face the New England Patriots.
