The divisional matchup between the Steelers and Ravens, known by fans of either team as “AWESOME” and “insufferable” by anyone else, is probably going to result in someone receiving a career-ending injury. That’s the only way it can top Pittsburgh-Baltimore games in the past in brutality and destruction. The minimum amount of concussions in this game has to be three.
Terrell Suggs, however, is really excited for it. He coined a questionable nickname for this game: “ARMAGGEDON.”

You know, sometimes it’s hard being right all the time. I guess I’ll just bear with the burden.
This is my post to all those who helped me along the way. I’d like to dedicate this to… me. Without that guy, none of this could be possible.
I’M SO COOL AND WON SEVEN CENTS ON CENTSPORTS.COM WITH THAT BET SO SUCK IT. I AM NOW A BETTER FOOTBALL PICK-MAKER THAN BILL SIMMONS. EAT A DICK, BILL SIMMONS. ALSO, SHARE THAT DICK WITH ALMOST EVERYONE AT ESPN FOR PICKING THE SAINTS BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID.
In conclusion, I’m great, blah blah blah.

The doubt of Jason Garrett shrank as the post-Wade Phillips season went on for the Cowboys, until it was all but certain that he would become the new head coach in Dallas. Who could blame Jerry Jones for going with it either?
Standing at a podium on the main concourse with the largest video board in sports as a backdrop, Jason Garrett was announced as the eighth coach to lead the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.

There’s always a team no one expects to succeed in the NFL playoffs, and everyone always tries to figure out which one it’s going to be so they can brag about it later. It’s a noble endeavor. Two seasons ago, it was the Arizona Cardinals blasting through teams in the playoffs and finding their way into the Super Bowl, where they were about a minute away from beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. This postseason, I’m going to reach in my pants, find my balls (sorry about that visual) and use them to make a suggestion that very few people will write.
The Saints have a good chance of losing to the Seahawks.
Yeah, I said it. And because I don’t feel like writing a cohesive essay about it, I’m going to write why I think so in small, digestible sections.

If there’s one coach supposedly on the hot seat this offseason who I feel deserves to keep his job, it’s Tom Cable. The Raiders coach led his team to a 6-0 record in the AFC West, and an overall record of 8-8, beating the eventual division winner Kansas City Chiefs twice. Oakland is making progress it hasn’t made in a while, and it could all be ruined if Al Davis decides to let Cable go.

Even if their teams aren’t in playoff contention, players try and scramble to complete contract incentives or milestones in week 17, their last opportunity to do so. One example was running back Ronnie Brown, whose contract, as Adam Schefter tweeted, would give him $500,000 if he reached 750 rushing yards. Before the game against the Patriots today, Brown needed 30 to fulfill that clause; he ended up getting a total of 14.

Before I start this, if you hate Brett Favre or Katy Perry, two things reviled by a majority of people right now, I understand. Please, save yourself and don’t read this, because you will either hate me, yourself, or both. As another note, this will hopefully be the last post that I write regarding Favre this season. Thankfully. If you’ve made it this far, enter into the insanity that occurs when I have too much free time late at night. Do not click further if you plan to take this way too seriously.

There will be at least four head coaching jobs open by the end of the regular season and probably a couple more due to contracts or overall shittiness (John Fox, Marvin Lewis?). Normally, this is a great chance for some stellar coordinators to jump up to the next level and get one of these positions. One name popping up this season is Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
From Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Sheldon Brown, a nine-year veteran NFL cornerback with six playoff seasons under his belt, says Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is ready to be a head coach and promises to be a good one.
With about eight to 10 head coaching jobs likely opening by next week, Ryan is sure to get some interviews.

Mike Singletary no longer has the title of head coach of the 49ers. After a lackluster effort against the Rams that had San Francisco eliminated from the playoffs (at 5-9, they were still in playoff contention. YUP), it was decided that Singletary was not very beneficial to the team and was let go. Easily sweaty Jim Tomsula was named as the interim coach for the final week of the season.

Sergio Kindle is definitely a man with a past. At the University of Texas, he missed three games in 2007 for getting a DWI. He also had issues with injuries, and if you’re not a big college football fan, you may have recognized his name as that NFL rookie who fell down the stairs, fractured his skull and missed the season.
Well, Kindle’s back in the news this week for getting a DUI this time. Someone should tell him that it’s not a game where you try and collect them all.
Ravens rookie Sergio Kindle’s troubled first season took another hit Sunday morning when he was arrested and charged with drunken driving in Howard County, an incident the player called a “mistake.”
