Today in sports history (1999), John Elway rode off into the sunset, winning the last game of his career. To the delight of Denver Broncos fans, this happened to be Super Bowl XXXIII. The victory over the Atlanta Falcons gave the Broncos their second straight Super Bowl victory. Atlanta came into the Super Bowl on the back of Vikings’ Gary Anderson missing the game-winning kick in the NFC Championship. Denver Broncos Build an Early Lead The Atlanta Falcons opened the game and immediately marched down the field. The drive stalled after a Bill Romanowski sack on fourth down forced the Falcons to…

Today in sports history (1991), the Buffalo Bills took on the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXV. The Bills came into this game with a 13-3 record, due in part to their K-Gun, fast-paced offense. The Giants came in with the same record, due in part to their dominant defense. In a game with the best offense and best defense in the league, football fans around the world knew that this was going to be a good one. The Giants prevailed in Super Bowl XXV, thanks to the famous miss from Bills kicker Scott Norwood in the final seconds. This was…

Today in sports history (1986), the Chicago Bears dominated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. The Bears won their first and only Super Bowl, 46-10. Although the Bears have not won another Super Bowl, they have been to one more. They lost to the Indianapolis Colts in 2006. This 1985 Chicago Bears team was noted for their tenacious defense, as they are often called one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Mike Ditka and Buddy Ryan formed one of the best coaching duos ever. Players including Mike Singletary, Walter Payton and Richard Dent were stars for the Bears. The…

Real-life football and fantasy football – while they share similarities – they also share many differences. In the NFL, the most important position on the field is the quarterback. It is becoming very difficult to win in this league without a stud as your signal caller. That is not the case though for fantasy football. Oftentimes, we see up to the first three rounds go by in fantasy drafts without a quarterback taken. Getting an elite quarterback is not nearly sought out as much as securing an elite running back or wide receiver. With that being said, quarterbacks do matter…

If you are unaware of what NFL survivor picks are, the basic concept is you make NFL picks throughout the season, but you can only pick a team once. Once you lose, you’re knocked out, so choose your Week 18 NFL Survivor Pool picks wisely. If you are new to reading my survivor articles, what I do is outline my “lock of the week,” my “value of the week” and my “high-risk, high-reward pick.” The lock of the week details what team I think has the best chance of winning their matchup. This would most likely be a good team that plays a bad team. The…

The college basketball season is in full swing. This year has been a little different than last, since Coach K and Jay Wright are not roaming the sidelines, (as of Dec. 9) Missouri is on top of the SEC and nine out of the 11 teams in Mountain West basketball are above .500. That is what gave me inspiration for this brief story. Believe it or not, Mountain West basketball is on a little bit of a come-up in terms of conference talent and success. Last year, the conference produced four NCAA Tournament teams in Wyoming, Colorado State, Boise State…

We are just over a quarter of the way through the NBA season, which is crazy, considering it feels like Golden State just won the championship and the Jayson Tatum slander was at an all-time high. Not only is NBA moving through its season, but college hoops are too. Many players, like Keyonte George, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandon Miller, have used early-season tournaments to improve their stock for 2023 NBA Mock Drafts. Obviously, there is a lot of basketball yet to be played in both college and professional leagues, so things will change from now and my final 2023 NBA…
