Who is the toughest player in the NFL?

With an exciting week of football behind us, we as fans got the chance to see the true make up of some teams. The Broncos relentless desire to win, the Steelers toughness, and the Packers dominance, all have been highlighted over the past few weeks, but especially during week 14. The Steelers, to me, seem like a serious contender to make some noise if Big Ben and Pouncey can rebound from their injuries. I say this based on the demeanor of their team. They have a dominant defense that is full of playmakers and ball hawks. Their offense is uncharacteristic of recent Steeler teams as they use mainly the passing game (ranked 9th in the NFL) to score a majority of their points. But the strength of their team is not in their talent, it is in their toughness. Their quarterback has fought some major injuries this season, only to perform better and better each week. Big Ben is not only one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the league, but he is also willing to put himself on the line to get his team the victory. I am willing to say that Big Ben is the toughest player in the NFL. Who do you think is the toughest player in the NFL?

What do we think of Josh McDaniels now...

If you had asked me 3 months ago what I thought about Josh McDaniels, I would have told you exactly how I felt. I would have said something along the lines of "Josh McDaniels is one of the worst NFL head coaches ever to coach. He not only ruined the 3rd ranked offense in the league at the time, but he killed the moral of the team". But now, after Tim Tebow has turned out to be a solid NFL quarterback this year and has led the Broncos to the brink of a playoff birth, I have to thank him. I have to thank Mr. McDaniels for drafting Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas. If I were Josh McDaniels right now and someone happened to ask me if I had anything to say to the city of Denver it would probably be "You're Welcome".

TIm Tebow DOES IT AGAIN!!!!

Being a long time Broncos fan this is awesome to watch! He was not the only one who came through when it mattered, but he does seem to make everyone believe that they can win. It would be stupid for me to stand here and say he looked perfect, cause for the majority of the game he looked mediocre. However, I think what he does week in and week out is some of the gutsiest football I have ever seen. He has willed this team to win and with a sturdy defense and a solid offensive line expect the Broncos to keep going strong. ORANGE CRUSH

Lakers are out of Chris Paul discussion

With that awkward tension in the locker rooms, there is no way that the Hornets and Lakers hold on to their "poker chips". I see Chris Paul being traded to the Nets and Pau and Odom might be sent across the city to the Clippers. What do you think?

Sunday Predictions...

Indy at Baltimore- Baltimore's defense is too good to lose to a very poor Colt's offense
Falcons at Panthers- This is a must win for the Falcons and I see them rallying and winning
Texans at Bengals- TJ Yates comes through and does the job without Andre Johnson to get the win against a very solid Bengals team. Nail biter.
Vikings at Lions- Problems continue for the Lions as Ponder and Gerhart win a close one
Bucs at Jags- The Bucs win as the Jags struggle
Eagles at Dolphins- With Vick and Maclin returning I see the Eagles winning 
Chiefs at Jets- The Jets have not looked particularly special as of late, but I think that they beat an average Chiefs team.
Saints at Titans- Saints offense is too much for the Titans defense
Patriots at Redskins- Patriots will battle the Redskins in a game that will be closer than many think
49ers at Cardinals- The 49ers have truly become one of the best teams in the NFC by creating turnovers and not turning the ball over. I think that they will win this one, but not without the Cardinals putting up a good fight.
Bears at Broncos- Another close game in Denver, but I do not see the Tebow Madness ending here because the Bears are missing Cutler and Forte.
Raiders at Packers- Packers will dominate a McFadden-less Raiders
Bills at Chargers- The Bills saw success early and I think that they will recapture it for a game and that game is against a weak Chargers team
Giants at Cowboys- Giants win a high scoring game against rival. GAME TO WATCH
Rams at Seahawks- The Seahawks have found a bit of an offense as of late and I think that they can maintain their competitive ways and beat an average Rams team

Has David Stern crossed the line?

David Stern technically does have this power to overturn this particular trade because the Hornets are owned by the NBA and he owns the NBA. That being said I disagree with his decision and I do not like the fact that he is the owner of a team and the league.

Ryan Braun....

tested positive for steroids. Does he deserve to keep his MVP award and how does this effect his legacy?

Drama in NCAAB

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/Christian-Watford-s-three-signals-Indiana-s-retu?urn=ncaab-wp6828

What a SENSATIONAL PLAY!!!
Indiana has had a solid program for such a long time, but for them to play Kentucky (#1) until the end and then have a shot at the end of the game to win it, and then make a game winning shot, is unreal. Where should Indiana be ranked after this? How about Kentucky?

Heisman Trophy Winner Robert Griffin

Who do you think should have won? I personally feel as though Robert Griffin exemplifies what the Heisman Trophy means and I definitely think that he is a very deserving candidate. That being said it is tough for me to give it to someone whose team has lost three games. But again, I totally think he is deserving and congratulation to him and Baylor on a great season.

With Pujols and CJ Wilson on the same team, are the Angels the team to beat?

You can not help but wonder if this is just the sports gods toying with us once again. Kind of like Lebron, D-wade, and Chris Bosh all joining the Heat and the "All-Star" team that the Eagles claimed to have assembled in early August. What can we expect from the Angels this season?

Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow...is there a future?

As of late, Tim Tebow has proven that he at least deserves a chance to be Denver's immediate Quarterback of the future, but does he look like a franchise Quarterback?
