Owner to fan: Carolina Panther helmets will change, uniforms won't
Carolina Panthers News on Charlotte Observer &bull Feb 6, 2012
Panther owner Jerry Richardson has long been known to pick up the phone and call a random fan or three that has either written him a letter or written into the "feedback" section of the Panthers.com website. Richardson is like that -- anyone who has met him on one of his pregame golf cart rides knows he likes to talk to fans directly.The Panthers owner apparently did that late last week with a fan named Mike (who didn't want his last name used) from Winston-Salem after Mike wrote to the Panthers website that he really wanted the Panthers to change… Full Story »

Patriots may be able to overcome woeful D
Jason Cole on Yahoo! Sports &bull Jan 20, 2012
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - It doesn't take much to send a New England Patriots fan into a tizzy these days. Use the words "Patriots" and "defense" in the same sentence and the response is some combination of fear and anxiety that seems straight out of a Hitchcock film. But here's something for fans to consider as a salve from the burning pain New England's defense has caused at times this year. Seriously, the fact that the Patriots allowed 342 points in the regular season may not be a good thing. But when it comes to winning a Super… Full Story »

Brady, Patriots bring Tebow back down to Earth
Jason Cole on Yahoo! Sports &bull Jan 15, 2012
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. New England advanced to next weekend's AFC championship game at home against the winner of Sunday's game between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens game with a 45-10 thrashing of Denver. The Patriots, as they have been wont to do over the years, played at a relentless pace for much of the game as Brady finished with an NFL playoff-record-tying six touchdown passes and a team record for passing yards (363) in a playoff game. This was Tom and what he does," wide receiver Deion Branch said with a broad smile. There have been some others like this,… Full Story »

How Demaryius Thomas beat the odds

Adam Schein hosts the "Sirius Blitz" on Sirius NFL Radio from 11-3 ET. He also co-hosts "Loudmouths" on Sports Net New York every weeknight at 6 ET. I still can't believe what we all witnessed Sunday afternoon in Denver. I still cannot believe that Tebow played his best game as a pro quarterback and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Think about it. The morning started with Jay Glazer reporting Brady Quinn could play in the game if Tebow struggled. Broncos coach John Fox didn't exactly deny the report when he talked to John Lynch on the NFL on FOX pregame show.… Full Story »

Fatal flaws of NFL playoff teams
Jason Cole on Yahoo! Sports &bull Jan 3, 2012
For every explosive offense, there is a defense seemingly ready to implode. For every tough quarterback who can take punishment, there is an offensive line that allows him to be knocked around. It was a fitting end for a future Hall of Famer. Dolphins DE Jason Taylor, with the game on the line and the Jets chasing a postseason berth, harried New York QB Mark Sanchez into an interception that helped seal a 19-17 victory. While the Jets were eliminated from the playoffs in part because of Taylor, who played for the team in 2010, the Dolphins tied an NFL… Full Story »

Cruz comes to the rescue for Giants
Jason Cole on Yahoo! Sports &bull Jan 2, 2012
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The way things are going for Victor Cruz, job security isn't going to be a problem, even if this football gig doesn't last long. Based on all the hands Cruz was shaking after he led the New York Giants into the playoffs, he could probably run for mayor of Paterson, his nearby hometown, and win in a landslide. Sorry, Jeffery Jones. You might be doing a great job in the Silk City, but Cruz is one serious hero right now. This isn't a "hometown guy makes good" tale. It's more like, "hometown guy makes meteoric." Over… Full Story »

Lions can't pass on shot to make louder roar
Jason Cole on Yahoo! Sports &bull Dec 25, 2011
The 11-year run, including the entire first decade of this century, finally came to an end in Detroit in a sweet, convincing victory over San Diego on Sunday. But here's hoping that the Lions don't lose focus over the final week of the season because they have a tremendous opportunity to help themselves with a win over Green Bay. The Lions qualified for the playoffs for the first time since the 1999 season, doing a nice job of erasing a lot of harsh memories over those 11 seasons (that period, which featured an 0-16 season, is known as the Millen… Full Story »

Ten most impactful during NFL's stretch run
Jason Cole on Yahoo! Sports &bull Dec 16, 2011
With three weeks remaining in the NFL's regular season, here's a list of 10 players who figure to have a huge impact on the playoff picture. Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Wallace: With the Steelers, Ravens, Patriots and Texans tied atop the AFC at 10-3, the jockeying for position is obvious. Sure, home-field advantage isn't always crucial to making the Super Bowl, but it doesn't hurt. And going on the road - where line communication is more difficult - could be problematic for a Steelers team with a banged-up O-line. If Pittsburgh is going to win in San Francisco on Monday… Full Story »
