Playoff Picture

The Dolphins have rebounded superbly, the Colts are on a tear, the Eagles are freaking frightening, and the Falcons are tough to beat. Clearly, before we settle into March Madness, we have some January craziness to figure out.

How will the next few weeks play out?

Portis v. Zorn: Pick A Side

I choose Portis, hands down.

Portis has played most of the season injured. He has the biggest heart of anyone on the Skins or in the NFL for that matter. I am livid that Zorn would call out Portis. He clearly doesn't understand the concept of "team." This year, Zorn has thrown individual players and units under the bus--Chris Samuels, for one. The offensive line as a whole. Do I think that players should be held accountable? Absolutely. But I think Portis has been accountable and more.

Heart? This is a guy that was once injured in a game making a linebacker-esque tackle on a play. He blocks. He's a receiver. He's a running back. He plays hurt. He has had enormous success on two teams--Denver and Washington. We traded a shutdown corner--Champ Bailey--for him. He's more than made up for that decision.

Zorn? Prove something first, then take on individual players.

Houston's Problem? Comets Disbanded

The WNBA's Houston Comets franchise recently was disbanded. Having won the first four WNBA titles, this was one of the league's most successful franchises.

Is this the beginning of the end for the WNBA or is this simply an isolated situation?
