		<description><![CDATA[After much soul searching, I&#8217;ve come to the inescapable conclusion that I am not cut out for a daily yodel.
I much prefer a more deliberate approach, an approach not best suited to the hourly world of today&#8217;s NFL.
My hat is off to everyone who does contribute to the daily conversation of football on a minute-by-minute [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How sad and sordid this whole Brett Favre-Green Bay Packer situation has become.
The he said-he said, the accusations of lying and misrepresentation, and the bitterness reminds me of my divorce (I kid, I kid).
Though perhaps most galling are the statements by Mike McCarthy that it is Favre&#8217;s mindset that is the real problem. That it [...]]]></description>

At first it was a bad Drudge Report ripoff tailored to the world of professional football. Still, it was effective in serving up daily news for all 32 NFL teams focusing on local hometown newspapers and blogs instead of the ubiquitous national feeds.
I then added a weekly [...]]]></description>

And the two weeks between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl are really no different.
The best is that only two teams remain,  preparing to battle in the biggest sports spectacle the world has ever seen.
Two teams, two cities that can  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As long-time readers can attest, I&#8217;ve been a harsh critic of the San Diego Chargers ever since they dumped Marty Schottenheimer last February.
But one thing about the Chargers I can&#8217;t criticize is Phillip Rivers&#8217; courage.
You can criticize his mouthing off at fans and at opposing teams. You can criticize his bad games earlier in the [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s really no other way to put it.
I have been highly critical of the Chargers general manager  ever since he fired Marty Schottenheimer following their loss to the Patriots in the divisional playoffs last year despite having the best record in all of football at 14-2. I [...]]]></description>

After Sunday&#8217;s game, Smith claimed that Turner is &#8220;&#8230;coach of the year, in my mind. He did a spectacular job&#8230; His leadership has been incredible.&#8221; Spanos added, &#8220;It feels really great. [...]]]></description>

After 17 weeks, we have identified the top 12 teams for the greatest single-elimination tournament in all of professional sport.
Eight great playoff matchups in the next two weeks. Or, to be more precise, eight games in nine days.
Then three final games to determine the world champions.
And the best part is [...]]]></description>
