Defense Wins Super Bowls
I often say that football is a violent, brutal game. So, quite naturally, the team that is more violent and brutal will usually win. Only the strong survive, and this maxim has borne itself out time and time again from the bloody core of this beloved, gladiatorial sport.
Betting the Super Bowl Total
I have spent most of the last week scratching my head trying to figure out what to do with the Super Bowl total. The problem is that I can see good arguments for both sides of the number. The total is at 48.5 right now, and it doesn't seem as of now that the bookies have much interest in moving very far from that number.

Visiting the Patriots' training camp
A trip to the reigning Super Bowl champions' training camp prior to the weekend revealed very little. Still, there were some interesting notes. Read on for the story.
New England Patriots -- Dynasty or die-nasty?
Will there ever be another NFL dynasty? Probably not. Because of free agency and the salary cap, we may never see a team win consecutive Super Bowls, again. In fact, teams should count themselves lucky if they have back-to-back winning seasons. One word sums it up.
Can the Colts defeense be good enough?
The Indianapolis Colts fell one game short of the Super Bowl in 2003, losing to New England in the AFC Championship game. The offense is strong, but the defense needs improvement. Here's a look at what the Colts will need to do if they want to advance to the Super Bowl this season.
The great get greater
You know, dynasty is a word that's sometimes thrown around too often. So when the New England Patriots won their second Super Bowl in three years, I was somewhat cautious when people around Boston started proclaiming the Pats to be sport's newest dynasty.
Ignoring the lesson
Even during its offseason, the NFL stays in the news. Some of the league's biggest names are on the move as teams set themself up for a run at the Super Bowl next year. Have the Eagles positioned themselves as front-runners or are they just ignoring the Pats' path to success?

Bucs won in the trenches

Buccaneers Maul Rudderless Raiders
It was billed as the closest-to-call Super Bowl in a decade: the NFL's best offense against its best defense. In the end, it was a rout. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers racked up a huge lead, survived a fouth-quarter wobble, and then came on strong in the game's dying embers to crush the Oakland...

Super Bowl: in your face, and a tribute to marketing genius
Every major national sporting event is in some sense a reflection of the country's character, but there is nothing quite so in-your-face about it as the Super Bowl, the apogee of Americanism.

New England Patriots -- Dynasty or die-nasty?
Will there ever be another NFL dynasty? Probably not. Because of free agency and the salary cap, we may never see a team win consecutive Super Bowls, again. In fact, teams should count themselves lucky if they have back-to-back winning seasons. One word sums it up.
Can the Colts defeense be good enough?
The Indianapolis Colts fell one game short of the Super Bowl in 2003, losing to New England in the AFC Championship game. The offense is strong, but the defense needs improvement. Here's a look at what the Colts will need to do if they want to advance to the Super Bowl this season.
The great get greater

Ignoring the lesson
Even during its offseason, the NFL stays in the news. Some of the league's biggest names are on the move as teams set themself up for a run at the Super Bowl next year. Have the Eagles positioned themselves as front-runners or are they just ignoring the Pats' path to success?

Bucs won in the trenches

Buccaneers Maul Rudderless Raiders
It was billed as the closest-to-call Super Bowl in a decade: the NFL's best offense against its best defense. In the end, it was a rout. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers racked up a huge lead, survived a fouth-quarter wobble, and then came on strong in the game's dying embers to crush the Oakland...

Every major national sporting event is in some sense a reflection of the country's character, but there is nothing quite so in-your-face about it as the Super Bowl, the apogee of Americanism.
