Redskins Go A Little Too Quietly- October 30, 2007 College teams can object to the playground bully running it up. Little Murray State can be legitimately annoyed when nationally ranked Louisville guns it to 73-10. But no pro team, certainly no NFL team, can ever whine about an opponent zooming up and down the field at will. There's no difference in admissions policies in professional sports. Nobody has an advantage in walk-ons or scholarships. With salary cap restrictions and the yield from the college draft, NFL teams compete on the most...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/29/AR2007102902167.html?nav=r... Plenty of Possibilities To Bounce Around- October 30, 2007 The nightmarish spring and summer aren't entirely forgotten. Most of the iconic players, the ones who drive the league's popularity, either didn't make the playoffs or were dumped quickly. Lack of interest in the championship series was measurable. The stench of the referee scandal remains. The No. 1 draft pick with the irresistibly sweet demeanor is injured and out for the season. Unarguably, the NBA is in need of a rebound.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/29/AR2007102901913.html?nav=r... Colts Concede Nothing to Pats- October 23, 2007http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/22/AR2007102202424.html?nav=r... Parity Levels College Football's Playing Field- October 20, 2007 They can't stand this in Nebraska and Alabama, at Florida State and Miami, at Oklahoma and Notre Dame. The keepers of big-time college football never meant to share the rankings or the bowl games and certainly not the pile of money with the likes of Boise State and Hawaii. Bad enough that schools known primarily for basketball, such as Kentucky, Cincinnati and Rutgers, have gotten up the nerve to compete at the highest level. . . . But to have half the season hijacked by a fascination with a...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/19/AR2007101902548.html?nav=r... Patriots: Poised to Be Perfect- October 18, 2007 The NFL season is less than one-third over, yet it's already been distilled to one issue, unquestionably the greatest issue that can be raised in pro football.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/17/AR2007101702358.html?nav=r...

The Patriots' Game: No Mercy, They Rule- October 2, 2007 CINCINNATI They've been great for a while now, three Super Bowls' worth of great. But only this season have the New England Patriots become The Show, the must-see team of stars, pretty boys and reformed bad boys. Suddenly, the Patriots are not simply great; they're compelling, fascinating, appearing to be almighty and a touch lawless.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/01/AR2007100102023.html?nav=r... |
