NFL Playoffs Kick Off Saturday: Part II

In part II of out NFL Playoff coverage, we look at the NFC and the match-ups that are coming your way this month as the NFL speeds towards the SuperBowl in February.

New Orleans Saints (13-3)

Much like the Colts, the Saints ran through their opponents (a lot of whom were very tough teams) and won 13 straight games. The Saints largely didn’t show up in their final three games of the year (all losses), partly because they had already clinched home field advantage, partly because their team, particularly their defense, has been stricken by the injury …continue reading

Robinson Leads Knicks To Win In Return

It has been so long since Nate Robinson saw any game action that he didn’t even budge when his name was called to come off the bench. Robinson had been riding the bench for a month, ever since the moment he came off the Knicks bench and scored a basket in his own hoop, but not two hours later the backup guard had scored 41 points and led the Knicks to a hardly fought overtime victory against the Atlanta Hawks.

Of the Knicks’ 13 points in overtime, 11 were scored by Robinson.

Robinson has apparently served his …continue reading
