Will the Giants return the Super Bowl? How far can the surprising Falcons actually go? Will the Eagles ride their momentum all the way to Tampa? There are many questions to be answered and here's my take on how it will all shake out.

Manny Ramirez in pinstripes is a scary thought to many people. Die-hard Yankee fans everywhere cringe at the thought and might even consider it blasphemy. However, there's a chance of it becoming a reality.

This is not what the Cowboys wanted to hear on the verge of their biggest game this season. A team fighting for their playoff lives against the Giants this Sunday, now has to cope with an unhappy wide-out.

On February 3rd, 2008 Plaxico Burress could not have been any higher on life. He was one of the heroes in the New York Giants improbable playoff run, culminating in a shocking Super Bowl victory over the previously undefeated New England Patriots.

Roughly 10 months later, Burress has fallen faster than anyone could have.

A few weeks back I labeled the Jets as pretenders in the AFC. Well, after they knocked off the previously undefeated Titans by a shocking score of 34-13, I might have to admit I was wrong. Okay, I was dead wrong. With that resounding victory and the Giants 37-29 win over the Cardinals to move them to 10-1, New York is already having dreams of the two clashing down in Tampa for Super Bowl XLIII.

Here’s my take on the 10 best in the business right now, or the goalies I would like to have on my team at this point in time. Joey Macdonald, for some strange reason, was left off the list.

The Yankees are only a few pieces away from becoming a playoff team once again. The team is certain to make a huge splash this off-season with roughly $88 million to spend on the rich free agent market. The Yankees have never been gun shy in the free agent world, and in order to keep pace with the Rays and Sox, a few big signings by GM Brian Cashman are certainly expected.

Eight weeks have gone by in the 2008 NFL season and the unexpected once again reigns supreme, as it often does in today’s NFL.
