Is LaDainian Tomlinson the best NFL football player you have ever seen?
This question will be debated forever and ever, because historians will always have their own opinions. Some say Jim Brown of the Cleveland Browns while others say Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears or Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys. These three men along with others determine the measure of the greatest running backs ever. LaDainian definitely deserves to have his name mentioned in the same sentence as these great players.

Question: Who is the fastest player in the NFL to reach 100 touchdowns?
Answer: Mr. LaDainian Tomlinson.

The San Diego Chargers this year was supposed to be a team that was fighting for the playoffs. They lost their starting quarterback and didn’t do much in the off season. Well look at this team now, they are in position to get the number 2 seed in the AFC conference after the Indianapolis Colts who has the other best football player in the league in Peyton Manning. LaDainian is doing things this year that has surprised everyone including himself, his team is coming from behind in games relying on the run and not the passing game. Mr. Tomlinson is averaging over 120 yards per game and doesn’t seem to be stopping. He also is averaging at least a touchdown per game. Which player in the league is having a better season than him? Is this the year they give the MVP of the league to Mr. Lighting Bolt himself LaDainian Tomlinson? We just have to wait and see.

If you want to figure out why the University of Miami has a bad reputation just check on all the players they send to the NFL. One of the main characters out of the University of Miami is Jeremy Shockey of the New York Giants. Every occasion a microphone is put in his face he says something stupid and cocky, and that gets on his teammates and organizations nerves. What is funny about this is, most of the time he is right. Other people would like to say it but they will not acknowledge it. Question remains “Is this a good or bad player to have on the team?”
While talking to an ESPN reporter, Jeremy Shockey made a statement that said “No way in hell” the Cowboys would beat the Giants if the Giants played up to par. Now in sports talk like this is bulletin board material, but the problem is he may be right. Last time the Dallas Cowboys and NY Giants played in week 11, the Giants won 36-22 and ever since the game the two teams have gone in different directions.  The Giants have been killing themselves with turnovers and bad decisions, so a statement like this can be absolutely correct.  Not many teams in the NFL are as good as the Giants when healthy, but there lies the problem with what Shockey said his team is not healthy and the Cowboys are playing well now. So you never stir up a hungry Lion when he is ready to eat, so why give the Cowboys more of a reason to come into Giants stadium to get the win?
Like I said is this a good or bad teammate to have on your team?

Since the beginning of this football season the question being asked was which rookie quarterback would be the first one to start.  Well if the draft showed anything, it was also the order they began to start. In the first round of the draft 3 quarterbacks were taken within the first fifteen picks: Vince Young (Tennessee Titans) #3, Matt Leinhart (Arizona Cardinals) #10, and Jay Cutler (Denver Broncos) #11.  Jay Cutler might be the last one starting but he also may be the first to go to the playoffs and he will have a big hand in deciding.
When the Denver Broncos traded up this year in the draft to grab a first round quarterback it had the whole league guessing. Well what everyone else didn’t know was that the Denver Broncos organization had no faith in their starting quarterback.  The whole year Jake Plummer (previous quarterback of Broncos) had to look over his back, and if his stats showed anything it showed a quarterback without confidence.  Plummer stats are the worst he has had since his rookie year with the Arizona Cardinals, and much worst against the better teams in the AFC conference.
So on Sunday December 3, will Jay Cutler first NFL start be like the other rookie quarterbacks of the draft or will he pull a Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys. Romo has started 5 NFL games and has won 4 of them already and is in position to take his team far in the playoffs.

The Seattle Seahawks have a huge game on Monday Novemember 27, 2006 at home against the Green Bay Packers. This game will decide what will happen in the tough NFL NFC West Conference, Seattle Seahawks are playing for first place. The previous 4 years the loser of the Super Bowl has not made the playoffs the next year, and Seattle last couple of games is looking like they are heading that direction.  So by winning on Monday night they will be heading in the right direction in turning this trend around.

The Seahawks are going into this Monday Night game being the healthiest this team has been in awhile.  This will be the first game together for their pro bowl tandem of Matt Hasselbach (quarterback) and Shawn Alexander (running back) in a month. Since the two of them got hurt the Seattle Seahawks record has been a bad 2-4, which has put them on the verge of not making the playoffs this year. Lucky for them the whole NFC Conference is not that good this year or there would be no chance for them to make the post season.
The only problem about this Monday night match up between the Packers and Seahawks is that the opposing quarterback for Seahawks is no other than future Hall of famer Brett Favre. Brett will be going up against his old coach and teammate (Matt Hasselbach) in a game that could be his last Monday Night football.  Green Bay has a little chance of making the playoffs and need this win to make sure it can happen. Can Brett be the spoiler to the trend or will he help the Seahawks change the curse?

The week 11 debate starting today is “Who has the best team in the NFL?”  There are only a couple of teams that fit the bill and the great debate starts with these 4 teams.  Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears, San Diego Chargers, and the Baltimore Ravens. Which team would you decide?

The Colts were the last team to be beaten this year and they lost to Dallas Cowboys that was 5-4 and were just beaten by the Washington Redskins 2-6.  The Indianapolis Colts have been struggling for the last couple of weeks and have barely beaten the teams they should have destroyed.  Compared to last year this team is winning games by small margins, which will help in the playoffs when winning becomes essential. They have the best quarterback in the NFL in Peyton Manning, but he can’t do it alone.  I see this team getting to the AFC Championship Game but losing, because they still don’t have a defense and that is what wins championships.
The Bears also a team with one loss which looks like the team to beat in the NFC. In order for the Bears to win a championship they need to beat an AFC team.  Their only loss this year came at home against the Miami Dolphins who at that time had only won one game.  The Chicago bears defense is one of the best in the league and it showed again on Sunday against the Jets why this team will battle for the championship as they got heir second shutout of the season. If there is one question about this team, it is that can Rex Grossman the quarterback take them to the Super Bowl? In 10 games Rex has either been real good(all games won by more then 13 pts) or real bad ( thrown more interceptions than touchdowns). What this team does in the playoffs is going to depend on what Rex Grossman can do.
The Chargers in the last 6 years have had the number one draft pick and on both occasions they traded the pick. Well just in case you didn’t know both of those trades have done wonders for the organization. The trade of Michael Vick for LaDainian Tomlinson in 2001 and the trade of Eli Manning for Phillips River in 2004 have paid off big dividends in the last two weeks. The San Diego Chargers in the last two weeks have come back from being down 17pts in the mid game to winning the games.  The two players that have spearheaded the come backs are the draft picks.  This team has a legit chance at winning the Super Bowl. They have both the defense and offense to get there.  Most of all they have the best football player in the league LaDainian, hands down. He is awesome, just this Sunday against the Broncos he was the fastest person to reach 100 touchdowns in the NFL.  He did this in 86 games and by the time he is done he will pass all the great running backs that have ever played this game.
The Ravens. When you talk about this team you talk about DEFENSE.  This team is like the Chicago Bears where their defense is what matters, but the only difference is that they have a quarterback that has been to the Super Bowl before.  Steve McNair has been a MVP of the league and is looking to take this team to the next level again.  Since the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens has taken over play calling duties this team has been unstoppable. They have won 4 straight games by averaging over 26 pts a game. You put that with a solid defense and you have yourself a Super Bowl contender. The question for this team is, can they beat the real teams in the AFC knowing that out of the top ten teams in the league 7 come from the tough AFC.
Please lets us know which team you think has a chance of winning. If your team is not here let me know who you think will win?

Sunday 19th afternoon, the last undefeated NFL team, the Indianapolis Colts got their 1st loss. They owe it to the Dallas Cowboys. The Indianapolis Colts have been dodging bullets for the last 3-weeks. If there is one team out there that is happy it is the Miami Dolphins team from 1972-1973. They can stop thinking this year about a team going undefeated this season. Miami Dolphins team from 72-73 can still claim they are the only team to accomplish this feat and they can toast the Dallas Cowboys for it.
Why is it so hard for a team to go undefeated now? Is it because of a balanced league and this is what makes the games exciting. It is because not a single team looks to accomplish a prefect season when coming into training camp? Every year we have at least one college football team that wants to go undefeated, I know this is essential to winning a National Championship. We need some NFL football teams to look at this as a goal, like individual players look for certain stats to accomplish before the year starts. Pro football is a team sport and we need for the teams to want to win every week just like the college games. Only then can we can begin to bring the excitement back to the NFL.

This game on Sunday is supposed to be redemption for Daunte Culpepper. This game was his chance to finally show the Minnesota Vikings organization that he could get better and play better since his injury but unfortunately for him it not going to happen this Sunday.
Before the game even starts Sunday at 1:00 pm, count one for the Vikings. Culpepper has been the most sacked quarterback in a 4 game stretch, to make matters worse he has Joe Harrington playing behind the same line who has only being sacked 5 times this season compared to Culpepper’s 21. So the great debate that will go on for the rest of this year and into the next is whether Daunte Culpepper is the quarterback of the future for the Miami Dolphins.
The Miami Dolphins could have had Drew Brees the quarterback leading the New Orleans Saints to a 7-2 record, but they chose Culpepper, the Florida boy with the big arm and heart. Some of the Dolphin players are dedicating this game to their fallen leader because he can’t play and they know how much this game means to him. Just look at press clippings it s all over the place. Even the coach Brad Childress for the Minnesota Vikings mentions that he knew how much Culpepper was looking forward to this game. The question that the Miami fans need to ask is “Did Daunte Culpepper push too hard this off-season to get to this game and in turn ruin the Miami Dolphins shot to get to the Super Bowl?”

Can you name me a pro football game going on this week? Well, I know you, you can name 16, but is anyone of the games going to be better than Ohio State vs. Michigan? This is why many sports fans choose college football over pro football. College games are bigger on a given week compared to pro football. You can’t tune into a TV or radio channel that involves sports without hearing about the #1 Ohio State vs. #2 Michigan game. The Big Ten Championship: #1 vs. #2. The winning team gets an automatic bid in National Championship game. It is scarlet red vs. the big blue. Everyone has an opinion on this game, and that’s why I also have mine.

On Saturday at 3:30 pm we will see a great football game between two good teams, but on Sunday we see the best football players in the world play. Yes they do play for money and a trip to the Super Bowl, but what they really play for is for every kid out there that wants to play Pro Football to know where they went to college. I know that we will at least see a dozen players in the Buckeyes vs. Wolverines game playing in the league next year. That is only 11.5% of the players on the field on Saturday that have a chance to play in the NFL, not high numbers. So on Sunday night after your long weekend of sports make sure you tune into the pro football game of the week, San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos.
