Since the Giants and Packers met in the regular season, each team has lost just one game, but the prevailing public opinion is that the Giants are playing their best football of the season and have as good a chance as anyone to knock off the top-seeded Packers this season. While that is certainly a possibility, New York will have to play extremely well in a number of facets of the game.
There are a number of different ways that an NFL player can become an impact player for his team. The 2011 season provided great examples of rookies playing phenomenally from the get go, players making “the jump” in their second or third year, and seasoned veterans finally breaking through. Here’s the recap from Chris Callaway, plus a look at potential breakout players of 2012.
You don’t care about the Pro Bowl. Chris Callaway doesn’t care about the Pro Bowl. Now that we’ve established that, let’s talk about the Pro Bowl, specifically one easy way to improve the experience for everyone, especially fans.
Tonight, the Week 17 edition of the NFC North Report will take place, hosted as always by MSF’s fun, football-loving quartet of Amanda Lawson, Drew Lange, Chris Callaway, and Tyler Juranovich.
In one of the most promising, if not the best, Monday Night Football match-ups of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3) head west to take on the San Francisco 49ers (10-3).
Chris Callaway attended his very first Green Bay Packers game this weekend, and did so as a part owner of the franchise. And after seeing Greg Jennings go down with an injury, it made him consider what Mike McCarthy and the Packers should do with the rest of the regular season as they march towards a Super Bowl repeat.
Green Bay sits on a nice 12-0 record right now. Before heading to his first Packers game as a part-owner, Chris Callaway provides five things that his Packers need to continue doing to finish the season 19-0.
It baffles me that Montee Ball hasn’t gotten much Heisman love for his 2011 season. I’ve seen him fifth out of five in some lists, or just receiving “honorable mention” in others. Have these people seen this guy play?
I don’t know much about boxing, and it struck me after hearing about the passing of Joe Frazier last night how I wish I knew so much more.
Brewers fan Chris Callaway is setting aside his bias and spite to analyze the rival Cardinals and Texas Rangers in the 2011 World Series. Callaway goes position-by-position with his analysis and then offers his prediction.
If you would have told Chris Callaway after the Brewers swept St. Louis in June, that they would be facing the Cardinals with home-field advantage for the right to go to the World Series, he would have shotgunned a celebratory Old Milwaukee right there on the spot. But here we are in that very situation today.
Brewers fanatic Chris Callaway is very happy with the ways things turned out for the Brew Crew. Home field advantage and no Phillies in the first round? Fine by him. Here is his preview of the NLDS matchup between Milwaukee and Arizona.
By now we’ve all seen the statline for Cam Newton against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but the magnitude of his performance bears repeating.
NFL football is finally back, and there aren’t many matchups better than Thursday’s season opening game between Green Bay and New Orleans. In this post, Chris Callaway provides his analysis for Thursday’s game.
Keegan Bradley is just as good for golf as Tiger Woods is right now. Granted, Bradley nor anyone else on the PGA Tour has the track record that Woods has, but that’s part of what made this weekend, and golf over the past few years, great.
