Football fans around the world probably remember what happened the last time Peyton Manning took on Drew Brees. The game happened to be a pretty big one, Super Bowl XLIV. The game ended with Brees and the New Orleans Saints raising the Lombardi Trophy.

There is no denying that there is something special about Monday Night Football. Sports fans around the country have nothing better to do on Monday night's during the Fall and Winter, so everyone gathers around the TV to watch football.

It has been impossible to avoid. Football fans around the country have been complaining about the replacement officials the NFL has hired to take the place of the full time refs who are in the middle of a lock-out with the league since the first week of the preseason. Whether its a replacement or a regular, complaining about officiating is as old as the game itself. But, The inevitable replacement ref disaster finally happened last night (September 24th) when the Seattle Seahawks were awarded a last-second touchdown to win the game against the Green Bay Packers. Are the replacement refs ruining the NFL?
The National Football League will open its 2012 regular season on Wednesday when the Dallas Cowboys visit the defending Super Bowl-champion New York Giants. The off- and pre- seasons have set up several key story lines for the new season. Here are the 10 burning questions for the 2012 NFL season:
Brian Gary once wrote a post about NBA players and their selfish behavior. I couldn't agree more that when it comes to professional athletes, many don't realize just how lucky they are and I have been enraged at NFL holdout Maurice Jones-Drew.
I distinctly remember hearing of Brian Banks almost a decade ago. He was at the time a highly scouted LB out of Long Beach California who had many schools offering him scholarships and a pro career was only 4 years away. But then, he was accused of rape and all those dreams were dashed away as he spent the next 5 years in prison and another 5 on probation. Then, the unthinkable happened last year!
The Broncos have a new quarterback. Now they have new uniforms, so does everyone else in the NFL. Nike unveiled the NFL's new line of game uniforms yesterday in New York City. We want to know if you like them.
Tim Tebow has been traded to the New York Jets. NFL insider Adam Schefter broke the news this morning via Twitter. Tebow became expendable when the Broncos signed 4-time MVP Peyton Manning to a 5-year $96 million contract yesterday.
The Denver Broncos' number one pick in the 2011 draft appears to have been a good choice. Von Miller has been named the 2012 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year by a nationwide media panel. Miller's 64 tackles and 11 & 1/2 sacks helped turn around the Denver defense, and along with Tim Tebow, sparked a run to the playoffs.
