A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
The New England Patriots received their Christmas gift from Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos a little bit early.
The Broncos defeated the New York Jets Thursday night behind a stunning 95-yard drive, culminating in a 20-yard, game-winning touchdown run for Tebow. A Patriots victory against a short-handed Chiefs team Monday night could give New England a 2-game division lead over the Jets.
State College has been the focus of the sports world, but not for reasons they or anyone else wanted.
The scandal involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is still unfolding, detail after disgusting detail. The case has been well documented, so I won’t go into the details here outside of their relevance to Saturday’s game.
What was supposed to be one of the marquee matchups in 2011 Big Ten conference play has lost some of its luster over the past two weeks.
Ohio State will travel to Lincoln, Nebraska to face the 14th-ranked Cornhuskers Saturday night in a meeting of powerhouse programs desperate for a conference win.
Unless you like to read bloggers who have no regard for intellectual property rights, you’re reading this article on a website called Midwest Sports Fans. While not all who contribute to MSF currently live in the Midwestern United States, we all have ties to the Midwest and maintain allegiances to college and pro sports teams in the region. These Midwestern sympathies set MSF apart from sports websites whose writers identify with the coasts or the south.
But what does “Midwest” mean?
I had assumed that, for most Americans, “Midwest” meant the Great Lakes, the Rust Belt, the Big Ten, corn, and the American League Central. But after spending much of last week in Sacramento, I’m not so sure.
I tweeted 140 characters worth of musings on said topic last night, but figure I can elaborate a bit more here, as this college basketball season seems to present more deserving men for Coach of the Year than in years past.
As we motor forward during March Madness 2011, here are the leading candidates for the top coach in college basketball for 2011.
I told you I wasn’t going to engage in any serious sports talk today. If you didn’t believe me then, you will now.
Over the last ten minutes, I randomly came across videos featuring the two crappiest bands of our generation: Creed and Nickelback. Luckily, the purpose of both videos was to lampoon the bands and their awful music…and really, what other options are there with these two terrible excuses for musical “artists” other than lampooning then.
In this post I will show you the two videos so that you can point and laugh at them, and then ask you to answer one of the most difficult questions ever posed in the history of mankind and all the universe.
Fraschetti brought up an an interesting point regarding what Browns fans think the team should do with The Soldier, Kellen Winslow.
K2 has returned from his suspension, he has practiced this week, and by all accounts he seems to be toeing the line now that Staphgate has blown over. He is slated to start this week, although the Ravens present a tough matchup.
From a fantasy perspective, I would think you would have to be a little nervous is Kellen Winslow is your only option at tight end. Kellen has not gained more than 80 yards in a game this season, and has only 21 catches and 1 TD. Plus, Derek Anderson has developed a rapport with Steve Heiden in Kellen’s absence, and I would think the team would spread a few of Winslow’s usual targets Heiden’s way. Hopefully Fraschetti will chime in with a more in-depth Kellen Winslow analysis in the comments section.
Plus, one troubling fact remains: The Browns are 2-0 without Kellen Winslow, and 1-4 in games that Kellen Winslow has played. With the Browns sitting at 3-4, and the 4-3 Baltimore Ravens visiting Sunday, the margin for error is razor thin if the Browns was to compete for a playoff spot.
Well, we decided to find out what Browns nation (and any other interested parties) thinks about this issue. Please chime in with answers to the two questions below, and feel free to leave comments if you’d like to explain your votes.
Without any further rambling by yours truly, here are the Kellen Winslow poll questions:
