    DALY: NFL on TV was more than a political football to Nixon

    The current occupant of the White House is a basketball guy. Other recent Leaders of the Free World have been partial to golf, jogging and brush clearing. Not Richard Nixon. Nixon loved football — any kind of football.

    All things being equal, parity rules in NFL

    By Kevin Goheen - Special to The Washington Times - The Washington Times

    In today's NFL, the adage about any team making the playoffs can win it all is more than just a cliche. Half of the past 10 Super Bowl champions were seeded third or lower in their conference.

    DALY: Divided we stand - except when it comes to the NFL

    By Dan Daly - The Washington Times

    It's scary how gigantic the NFL has gotten. If Godzilla and the 50-Foot Woman had a love child, and the kid pumped iron 10 hours a day until the age of consent, he'd still look like Danny Woodhead compared to the NFL.

    Eli Manning is elite, for sure. A king of comebacks, too. And far, far more than Peyton's little brother now.

  • Column: There's still a game in there somewhere

    By JIM LITKE - Associated Press

    The strangest coaching decision during Super Bowl week wasn't when Bill Belichick ordered his defense to act like matadors and wave Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw by for a touchdown from 6 yards out with less than a minute left in the game. That's just the one people will remember. The really odd one came four days earlier when the uber-prepared Patriots coach, anticipating a halftime show that would dictate a 30-minute intermission rather than the usual 12, ordered his players to take a break from practicing football and practice sitting in the locker room for a half-hour instead.
