After this weekend in the NFL Playoffs, my dream of a Colts/Bears Super Bowl is still intact. Growing up, I learned from my parents to always root for the black quarterback, no matter who he is playing against. Back then there were no black coaches to cheer for. But black...
10. The Statue of Liberty can still work I can't remember seeing it run in a game, and have only fleeting memories of executing the play at the park back in the day. But Boise State brought back the coolest play in football: The Statue of Liberty, executing it perfectly...
Thanks to Fox Sports Net, I was able to see one of the great high school football performances in recent memory. As I watched William Cole slash through the Cypress Falls defense, it brought back memories of Vince Young at Houston Madison and Reggie McNeal at Lufkin. But on this day at the...

Lapchick examined the academic performance of this year's 64 bowl teams. A large part of the article is the comparative graduation rates between black and white football players. Some of...
What a difference 6 weeks makes. The last time I wrote about the Cowboys (Bledsoe…Romo…Oh No), the Giants had taken them to the woodshed, Bledsoe had been benched, and Romo had a less that stellar debut. But look at the 'Boys now, 8-4 with a two game lead in the division. If...
Next Saturday's High School playoffs will feature a huge match up between traditional 5A powerhouse DeSoto (10-3) and highly ranked playoff newcomer Cedar Hill (13-0).
