Devin Hester was rated #8 player of the year by the NFL Network, even though all he did was return kicks! If you think that American Football is all about big guys who can hardly move, think again…

 

Walking my wife to work this morning in Chicago I heard a discussion by a couple we walked past that included: “…I hope so. They just can’t put together anything on Offense.” I’m going to assume that they were talking … Continue reading

 

I’ve just started trying to write a guide to American Football, for the benefit of foreigners (like me) who actually like the game, but don’t know everything about it. I decided to make examples of certain plays using Madden ’08 … Continue reading

 

Another pre-season game down, two to go. Even though the Chicago Bears have won both their pre-season games so far, I am wondering how!? Well, they seem to be reliant on special teams again, just like last year. Against Indianapolis … Continue reading
