The NFL MVP Race: Let the debate begin

Leave a comment

We are entering Week 15 of the NFL season. That is both hard — and sad — to believe, isn’t it? With the New York Giants beating the Dallas Cowboys and tightening up the NFC East and overall playoff picture, we are looking at one of the tightest races for divisions we have seen in a long time.

Which is both exciting and nerve racking.

Which also leads to a big pool of MVP candidates, seemingly larger than usual.

I called upon our guy Dunton who helps with The Wayniac Nation Power Rankings to help break down the NFL MVP race. We got more than a handful of names to throw in the mix.

The Wayniac Nation NFL Power Rankings: NFC up for grabs

1 Comment

 

I fought Dunton for the past three weeks. He was whole-heartedly convinced that the Oakland Raiders were the best of the AFC. I continuously pled my case that the New England Patriots are the best team in the NFL, and they have no reason to not be in the top slot.

Last week, we finally moved the Raiders into the top spot. And, on cue, they lost a big matchup, becoming the biggest fallers of the week (don’t worry, it wasn’t that far).

Remember, our Power Rankings break down the best five teams per conference until the playoffs start, in which it becomes a comprehensive NFL Power Rankings.

Who made the cut this week?

NFL SUNDAYS WITH SBJ: STAR LOGOS ALL DAY

Leave a comment

I’m keeping this week’s Rundown and Sundays short and sweet. The search for my home team will continue in next weeks Rundown.

I hope you all are picking up some valuable lesson with the 2nd Half action so far. Just because I haven’t been breaking down every matchup with 2nd Half analysis, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be keeping your own tabs on things.

Once the search concludes, then we’ll get back to the numbers, and you won’t have to listen to my lost fandom soul sob story anymore. I do hope you’ve enjoyed the struggle, though. It’s been liberating to put my personal growth as a sports fan and individual completely out in the open like this. Very therapeutic. For someone that can’t afford therapy, this has helped me make sense of a lot about myself, and I thank you for listening.

Now, let’s get to this week’s action. Bottomline, if you don’t have a star on your helmet logo this week, then I’m not takin’ your side.

NFL Power Rankings: Welcome to Raider Nation

Leave a comment

The Miami Dolphins are consistent. Every time they do something right, and I go and try to give them credit, they show how awful a football team they truly are. They started a six-game win streak with an impressive win over the Steelers, and then reeled off five in a row against some pretty bad football teams. Dunton and I put them in our Power Rankings as the Honorable Mention and lo and behold, they don’t even show up.

I’m done trying to believe in these guys. You won’t hear any more positive from me on the Phins, I promise.

NFL SUNDAYS WITH SBJ: THE SEARCH FOR MY HOME TEAM – PART IX

Leave a comment

By the time we arrived in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, I had accepted the fact that being the geographical equivalent of an army brat was my life now. This was the fifth house and fourth time I had to start over in a mere five years, and I was sick of it.

It made me slightly numb to the challenge of having to fit in, to the point that I just didn’t care anymore, because whether I would be accepted or not in this new “home”, we would eventually be on the move somewhere else. So, what was the point? If this move didn’t go well, it wouldn’t matter much, since I’d be doing it all again in a year or two anyway.

NFL RUNDOWN WITH SBJ: THE SEARCH FOR MY HOME TEAM – PART VIII

Leave a comment

It was a beautiful day in Louisiana on the last day of that rocky 4th grade year. I had found a home. School was fun again. I had great friends, with construction site battle scars we’d be laughing about, in countless reunions we’d share over a lifetime of memories. Redi-med was announcing a grand opening of a new location, and calling it the Jared & Ryan Law Emergency Center. Not really. But they probably could of with the bills we paid.
