In 2009, the NASCAR Bud Shootout Race has been changed, and I’m not sure it’s a good one. In fact, it just feels like one great big car manufacturer commercial.
In previous years, those participating in this very first race of the season were poll setters from the prior …

When the NFL named Roger Goodell as their commissioner, I had high hopes for him. However, after the last couple of years under his management, I really have to question the choice.
Goodell’s best move to date is his effort to clean up the off-the-field problems that have plagued the …

Two years ago, the Chicago Bears were the team to beat in the NFC and were good enough to win a Super Bowl (though they ended up losing it).

That wasn’t the case, but the team did finish with the best record and got …

The AFC West division isn’t the strongest division in the league and it’s reasonable to think just about every team in it has a shot at winning it. However, I think the Kansas City Chiefs are the likely exception to that.
I remember, way back when, the Chiefs were a …
