Time Out: McNabb's New Deal Is Not a "Financial Apology," Just Good Faith

The Philly and national media alike are calling the re-working of McNabb’s deal a “financial apology.” Apparently a “financial apology” is that the Eagles are giving McNabb more money in order to say that they’re sorry for him being benched Week 12 against Baltimore. This would also explain why he’s not receiving an extension on [...]

How NFL Statistics Lead to Wins, Pt. 1: Looking at Win Correlations

In football, there are some truths that are self-evident.

Defense wins championships. A robust rushing game is key for all successful teams. You can’t win a Super Bowl without a fierce passing attack.
