Posted by Prince Malachi The First on November 28, 2013 at 1:37am

Robert Griffin III bristled Wednesday, telling anyone questioning his father's visit to the Washington Redskins locker room after Monday night's 27-6 loss to the San Francisco 49ers to "back up."

It is one thing to give Griffin the third degree about his disappointing play or his relationship with his offensive linemen during this disappointing 3-8 season.

Dallas Cowboys Have 24-21 Victory Over Giants

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on November 25, 2013 at 1:10am

This one wasn't a Giants-sized gift. Tony Romo and the embattled Dallas Cowboys took this pivotal game and all but buried New York's slim hopes of making the playoffs.

Romo threw two touchdown passes and led a 14-play drive that set up Dan Bailey's 35-yard field goal on the final play as the Cowboys won 24-21 Sunday, ending the Giants' four-game winning streak and denying them a place in NFL history.

"I thought it was a great drive," coach Jason Garrett said after the Cowboys (6-5) mov

The Denver Broncos stamped themselves as the AFC's top team by ending Kansas City's perfect run.

Peyton Manning threw for 323 yards and a touchdown Sunday night and was barely touched by Kansas City's sack-happy defense in Denver's 27-17 victory.

The Broncos (9-1) tied the Chiefs atop the AFC West. Temporarily, Denver holds the tiebreaker, but the teams meet again in two weeks in Kansas City.

Should Eagles Sign Tim Tebow?

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on October 30, 2013 at 11:15pm

With Chip Kelly being hired as the Philadelphia Eagles head coach the first question out of the mouths of everyone was, could Michael Vick run Kelly's offense? The answer is both yes and no. Vick showed us in their first game against the Washington Redskins that for a half he could run the offense and the score on anyone.

The problem with Vick is he cannot stay healthy for an entire season. Since being drafted in 2000 by the Atlanta Falcons, Vick has only played one complete 16 game season. Th

The NFL fined Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton $10,000 on Friday for using unapproved Under Armour visor clips on his helmet.

The small, black clips with the logo blacked out, according to league policy, violated the NFL's equipment policy.

According to the rulebook, "No invisible identification of a manufacturer's name or logo on the exterior of a helmet or on any attachment to a helmet is permitted unless provided for under a commercial arrangement between the League an

Washington Redskins superstar Robert Griffin III, otherwise known as RGIII, is set to marry his fiancee, Rebecca Liddicoat, this summer, his mother reportedly revealed.

Crossroads time for Tim Tebow.

The man poised to become the highest-profiled free agent in the NFL -- waived by the New York Jets on Monday -- has to determine whether to abandon his vision of having a long career as an NFL quarterback and take a new approach.

Could Tim Tebow End Up With the Patriots?

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on April 29, 2013 at 6:49pm

Remember: It just takes one team.

Now that he has been released by the Jets, there is one certainty as it relates to Tim Tebow: He will be in the NFL next season.

Now that the Jets' futile attempts to trade Tebow have put him on the open market, available to any team that wants him, the reality is that -- despite the naysayers -- there will be interest from at least a handful of teams.

Meanwhile, that interest will increase dramatically if Tebow is willing to play roles beyond QB -- something h

Ray Lewis Does Not Think The Ravens Will Repeat as Super Bowl Champions. Do You Agree?

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on April 25, 2013 at 3:57pm

So what do you think? Are the Baltimore Ravens in position to repeat as champions after winning a Super Bowl during Ray Lewis' final season in the NFL? Well the retired linebacker does't think so.

"It's going to be very hard, after you lose that much chemistry," Lewis told USA TODAY Sports. "But who knows? It's unpredictable, as always. Hopefully, they try to pull enough together, use their youth and try to make a run. But it's hard to try that formula. That formula usually doesn't work."

Despite his disappointment with Rex Ryan's passing him over at quarterback late last season and his uncertain future, Tim Tebow intends to be at the New York Jets' facility next week.

Tebow will participate in the team's offseason workouts that start on Monday, according to a person informed of Tebow's plans. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because neither Tebow nor the Jets have commented publicly on the matter.
