Last season, the New York Giants surprised a lot of folks by winning the Superbowl over the New England Patriots, so there's no reason to think this season couldn't have the same surprise and intrigue come playoff time. We continue our ongoing look at which teams are faking it, and which will be a tough out in January.Carolina Panthers - ContenderD'Angelo Williams and rookie Jonathan Stewart are absolute beasts, bowling balls with legs that bounce off of would-be tacklers. They lead the strength of the team, the running game, and open up opposing defenses for play-action passes to one of the most underrated receivers in football, Steve Smith. Their defense is stacked, with first-time Pro Bowler and University of Miami[...]

A lot's happened so far this football season. The Titans have dominated everyone (except the Jets, which isn't weird at all) with Kerry Collins, the Falcons and Ravens are in the hunt with rookie QBs, and the Giants are the first team in what seems like forever to not have a year-after-the-Superbowl hangover. While a few playoff spots are clinched, most are still up for grabs. So, three weeks from the playoffs, who's a contender, and who's just pretending? Baltimore Ravens - ContenderThey don't score enough on offense - a disproportionate amount of their points comes from defensive touchdowns, gadget plays, and Ed Reed - but you can't underestimate their toughness. Ray Lewis, as we've stated before, is as much[...]

After the Big-12 tiebreaker debacle unfolded, leaving Texas on the outside of the National Championship picture looking in, it became clear that we're ready for a college football playoff.Some tried to parade Florida vs. Alabama in the SEC title game as a national semifinal, the best we could hope for, which was a) true, and b) a very, very good game, but still, it was a complete accident that it worked out like that. In another year, maybe there's three teams in the SEC and the Big-12 that deserve playoff football. What then? There's no system in place to ensure that a team will get a chance to play for a title if it's truly earned the right to do[...]

Why the NY Giants won't miss a beat without Plax

By now, I'm sure you've heard about this. Giants star wide receiver Plaxico Burress went out to a club in midtown Manhattan last week, carrying an unlicensed, loaded handgun in the waist band of his sweatpants. This really does sound like the set-up to a bad joke, right?Except it's not. So Burress gets to the The Latin Quarter (located on Lexington Ave and 48th street in NYC), accompanied by LB Antonio Pierce and RB Ahmad Bradshaw, and they let him in, knowing full well who he is. Their only request? Please unload the illegal gun before bringing it inside. Easy enough, right? Except not so much. Burress shot himself in the leg, so now he's gone, suspended for the rest[...]

The NBA Through Unpaid Eyes is a weekly blog by Men's Fitness intern extraordinaire and wealth of basketball knowledge Collin Orcutt.**The two statements expressed about Collin's intern and basketball prowess are not necessarily those of MF. Nor are they necessarily correct. Except for the unpaid part.The horn is sounding the end of the season's first quarter, and the the league's structure is slowly coming into focus as the early season madness dissipates. The Cavs have insisted  we consider them one of the league's powers with 15-3 record, good for second in the East. Dallas and New Orleans (winners in eight of their last nine and five of their last six games respectively) look to have shaken off the early season[...]

The NBA Through Unpaid Eyes is a weekly blog by Men's Fitness intern extraordinaire and wealth of basketball knowledge Collin Orcutt.**The two statements expressed about Collin's intern and basketball prowess are not necessarily those of MF. Nor are the necessarily correct. Except for the unpaid part. It seems like every year the NBA season starts off with a ton of hype but within a few weeks the excitement wanes. Blame it on the NFL and college football ramping up, college basketball tipping off, or the NBA season's freshness fading away. Whatever the reason, it seems like it's not until All-Star Weekend that the NBA regains fan's undivided attention. This season, though, there's been more than enough drama to keep even[...]
