By: Adam Troester This NFL season has been like the 45 before it in many ways, but it also has provided a lot of surprises that have made this blogger take an even greater interest than in years past. As always, one or more teams are getting eliminated from playoff contention with each passing week. That much is always...

By: Adam Troester We are officially past the halfway mark in the NFL Season. Nine weeks down. Eight weeks left. Every team has played at least eight games and some have played nine.

By: Adam Troester We are at the one-third point of the NFL Season, and at this point there are still probably more questions to be asked than we have answered so far. We’ll cover those a little later. Right now let’s get into the Power Rankings thru week 6 of the NFL. Even though we are 1/3 of the way thru the...

Hey everyone, I hope this post finds you doing well and enjoying Spring. Since the NFL Draft starts on Thursday, it is time again for the Red Card to take educated guesses at who will be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.

- Red Card Nation, I hope that you have managed to stay warm throughout “Snowmageddon.” I know that normally the weather is different everywhere, but it appears as if mother nature got the last laugh on everyone this year. I mean honestly, -30 degrees is ridiculous, even for the eskimos. Heck, even Dallas, the home...

- Hey nation, I hope you are having a great week. In my never ending quest to be up-to-date on everything social media, I would like you to check out my new social media site: about.me. I think it is a very simple, cool idea that can work as a “new age” resume type of site. Also, in lieu of Monday being Martin...

- First things first: Tiger Woods only owes an apology to the people he hurt, his family. No fan, columnist, talk show host, sponsor ect deserves an apology. Get over it. People mess up, sometimes they mess up BIG. The only person he has to answer to is himself at the end of the day. So what if sponsors drop him? He’s...

- Wow, what a Super Bowl huh? As with many of my predictions over the past year, I got this one wrong. BUT, for once I am actually glad I did. Why is that? Because, I have never seen a city or a region so desperate to win something, anything, in my entire life. That game, as cliche as it sounds, meant the WORLD to Who Dat...
