DC United hope for forceful effort against New England

After a forgettable performance in a 4-0 opening game loss at Kansas City, DC United’s home opener will be against a familiar foe, New England, which also lost their opening match on the road 1-0 to Los Angeles with only a handful of familiar faces from days gone by. “The team has changed a lot but it’s still the same Stevie Nicol’s system,” said Adam Cristman, who spent his first two MLS seasons with the Revolution scoring 10 goals in 46 games.

Saints Win First NFL Title With 31-17 Win in Super Bowl XLIV

Heading into South Florida and Super Bowl XLIV, many folks would have guessed that one of the quarterbacks would have melted down the stretch and not come through when it counted. That’s part of the game, right? But how many of them would have said that Peyton Manning – the 2009 NFL MVP – would [...]

Perkins re-acquisition could be bittersweet for United

Curt Onalfo’s first move in charge was to bring back former fan favorite Troy Perkins. The move looks great on paper and D.C. United needed a goalkeeper badly, but the acquisition could be bittersweet if Perkins leaves for national team duty this summer. The team still has other glaring holes and did little to address these in today’s MLS SuperDraft.

NFC South Week 16

Atlanta 31 Buffalo 3
Now that the playoffs are not possible the Falcons decided to play for wins and pride. On Sunday they manhandled the Bills from the start. On the first play from scrimmage Matt Ryan hit Roddy White from 42 yards out to make it 7-0. The Bills would never be in the game [...]

NFC South Recap

New York Jets 17 Carolina 6
Somehow some way Carolina quarterback Jake Delhomme finds a way to get the ball in the hands of his opponent. Sometimes he does that a little too often, like he did Sunday when he threw four more interceptions and was a miserable 14-34 for a mere 130 yards. He looked [...]

The UFL Opens in New York (In A Stadium Soon To Be A Memory)

It was a long wait from the first announcement of the United Football League until Thursday night when a game was finally played in front of a local audience. While it wasn’t a “packed house” at the Meadowlands for the game between the California Redwoods and the New York Sentinels, the crowd was at least [...]

United keeps hopes undampened by the rain, 1-0

DC United snapped a three game losing streak and kept their slim playoff hopes alive with an opportunistic 1-0 win over the Columbus Crew on a cold, rainy night at RFK Stadium. Luciano Emilio capitalized on one of the precious few chances United could muster, finishing a nifty combination play with Boyzzz Khumalo just past the quarter hour mark of a first half.

That’s My Take: Flying a Mile High

When NFL Training camps opened back in late July, very few people, if any thought the Broncos would have a 2009 season to savor. With a new regime taking over and many changes taking place this team had more of the look of rebuilding, than contending.
Following what could only have been described as a disastrous [...]

Fantasy Sleeper Week 6

Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has perhaps the most potential of any player in the NFL this week; taking the spot of this week’s fantasy sleeper.
Williams came into the season with remarkable expectations for just a 4th-year back, but has come out flat in the Panther’s opening games. Averaging just over 50 yards rushing per [...]

DC United fades to 2-1 loss to San Jose

DC United’s playoff hopes took a severe blow Sunday with a 2-1 loss to San Jose at RFK Stadium. Despite taking a lead through Jaime Moreno and controlling possession through most of the match, mental lapses and an overall flat second stanza doomed the home side, which has fallen for the second consecutive time in an MLS game in their once friendly confines.
