Indy Needs To Hear A New Voice
by Bob Kravitz
Listen, nobody is kicking Tony Dungy's backside out the door. Nobody is packing his bags for him. But sometimes, well, you just know it's time. And the Colts have reached a point where they need to know that their coach is in it for the long run and is not an eternal year-by-year proposition.

BASN's NFL Picks: Wild Card Weekend
by Tony McClean -- Jan 3, 2009 - 9:56:00 PM
The playoffs are a reminder of the Al Pacino speech from "Any Given Sunday" about football being a game of inches. For 17 weeks, teams feverishly fight and claw to get to this week. And then suddenly after three and half hours or so, one team moves on while another packs its bags.
NFL Playoff Preview: Wildcard Round
by Lloyd Vance -- Jan 3, 2009 - 11:41:04 AM
If the 2008 NFL Regular Season has taught us anything, it showed that “On Any Given Sunday” any team can step-up their level of play to beat any other team in the parity-filled NFL (Remember the lowly Cleveland Browns knocking off the defending champion Giants way back in Week 6). Besides attaining the No. 1 seed in your conference is no guarantee of Super Bowl entry as surprisingly it has been fourteen seasons since the last time two No. 1 seeds faced each other in Super Bowl (1993 season, Buffalo vs. Dallas in Super Bowl XXVIII).
BASN's Week Seventeen NFL Review
by Lloyd Vance -- Jan 1, 2009 - 9:57:00 PM
With the regular season ending, 20 teams’ dreams of moving on to the playoffs were officially closed. Leaving 12 teams (Titans, Steelers, Colts, Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins, Giants, Panthers, Vikings, Cardinals, Falcons, and Eagles) to continue following the 2008 NFL’s moniker of “Believe In Now”.
BASN's 2008-09 Report Cards (Part One)
by Gary Norris Gray -- Dec 31, 2008 - 9:56:00 PM

The NFL's Good, Bad and the Ugly: Week 16
by L.A. Batchelor -- Dec 28, 2008 - 9:59:00 PM
The Richmond Spiders win their first ever National Championship in school history thanks to their alumnist Mike London (an African American) while Eastern Michigan hires black coach No. 5 in Division 1-A.

BASN's NFL Picks: Week Seventeen
"Win or go home" has never rang truer than Week 17. In many ways, the last week of an NFL regular season holds the same twists and turns as well as the same drama as any playoff game. Dec 26, 2008
BASN's NFL Picks: Week Sixteen
Basically with 15 weeks in the books, 15 teams are still in contention for the remaining eight playoff spots. In fact, 12 out of this weekend's 16 games play a role in tiebreaker scenarios. That includes Thursday night's affair in Jacksonville between the Colts and the Jags which got this week started off. Dec 19, 2008
BASN's NFL Picks: Week Fifteen
Welcome to the stretch drive of the NFL season. Other than the playoffs themselves, nothing is more nail biting or nerve wracking than the drive to make the playoffs. Dec 12, 2008
BASN's NFL Picks: Week Fourteen
As for action on the field, five clubs can earn playoff berths this week. Then again, some teams could have clinched two weeks ago and didn't. Now that we're in the month of December and it's cold weather, we can expect even more of the unexpected. Dec 5, 2008

NFL Power Rankings: Week #15
I don’t know if it is by design, but the NFL schedule makers must have known something as several potential playoff teams will be playing each other down the stretch. Dec 14, 2008
NFL Power Rankings: Week #14
As we head to toward the final turn of the 2008 NFL season everyone better buckle-up for a fast and furious finish. The NFL is filled with parity causing league officials, teams, media, and fans to not have any idea who is going to represent the AFC and NFC in the Super Bowl Dec 7, 2008
BASN's NFL Power Rankings: Week #11
Even with the Titans (9-0) and Giants (8-1) looking like the cream of the NFL’s crop, no one knows if these teams have what it takes to go all the way – remember the 2007’s 16-0 Patriots (lost in the Super Bowl) and 2006’s 14-2 San Diego Chargers (upset in the divisional round of the playoffs. Nov 15, 2008
BASN's NFL Power Rankings: Week #7
With only one lonely unbeaten team left in the Tennessee Titans, NFL standings are wide open to almost every team to make a move. Divisions are jumbled (the NFC South and NFC North currently both boast 3-way ties for first place) and every divisional race is within one to two games. Oct 18, 2008
BASN's NFL Power Rankings: Week #5
But the overall theme I see is that the NFL is the wackiest league on Earth. Just when you think you know, something happens to show you that you really don't know squat. Please tell me who thought before last week that the Chiefs would run all over the Broncos and the Redskins, who looked pretty lowly in their season opening loss to the Giants, would go into Dallas and beat the mighty Cowboys...
