NFL teams can collapse after losing QB; ask 2014 Cardinals

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Peyton Manning is out. So is Andrew Luck. Tony Romo is finally ready to come back, after the Cowboys went 0-7 without him. Losing an elite quarterback can be devastating to a team. No one knows that better than the Arizona Cardinals. They are the poster child for how things can head south in a hurry when the main man goes down. Since the midpoint of the 2013 season, the Cardinals are 20-4 when Carson Palmer starts, 5-6 without him.…

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

It was an interesting weekend as the Donald Trump skits flopped on Saturday Night Live and Ben Carson media scrutiny reached a new intensity, but can I talk about football?

Unlike in other cities, many Tampa fans since I’ve lived here like to go to bars instead of friend’s…

At some point in every great athlete’s career, he or she must deal with the reality that the best days are in the past. Peyton Manning has reached that point. Aaron Rodgers isn’t there yet. While some view Sunday’s game as a rare chance to compare and contrast two great quarterbacks at different points on their career arcs, the quarterbacks themselves prefer to focus on the task at hand: Green Bay vs. Denver, each looking to improve to 7-0.

In his locker room speech following his successful debut as Miami’s interim head coach, Dan Campbell credited his practice squad players for helping propel the Dolphins to their big win at Tennessee. “Don’t forget those guys,” he implored his team.

A look back at the always quotable Steve Spurrier

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Steve Spurrier made college football news conferences – which can range from tedious to sleep-inducing – into must-see events. The Head Ball Coach had plenty of targets for his zingers. Back in his Florida days, it was Tennessee, Georgia and Florida State. He tweaked NFL coaches for losing despite working around the clock. After he came to South Carolina, he also took aim at Clemson. Spurrier would sometimes put on a show. He faked his own arrest when star Jadeveon…

After top overall draft choice Jameis Winston flopped in his NFL debut, Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith decided his rookie quarterback could benefit from a history lesson. Some elite NFL quarterbacks of today had rough days of their own early in their careers. Saints all-time leading passer Drew Brees, whom the Bucs will see Sunday in the Superdome, was benched more than once during his first couple seasons in San Diego.
