Referees Super
Latimes.com ColumnistThe point that NFL games have been efficiently officiated again this fall, as usual, is compelling. And I'd say that on the whole it's true. At the same time it is obvious that there have been too many penalty calls this season. Waves of falling flags...Tags: Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Joe Horn, New York Jets, National Basketball Association

The Misunderstood Rams
Latimes.comThe St. Louis Rams had to rely on Tampa Bay fumbles to win a 28-21 decision Monday night from a 1-5 team they would have creamed if Ram Coach Mike Martz's play-calling matched his brilliance as the pass-play designer for the NFL's most exciting pass...Tags: Tom Brady, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Marshall Faulk, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Patriots Far in Front
Latimes.com ColumnistAs of the 21st century, passer Tom Brady and pass-offense enthusiast Bill Belichick are on board to succeed the Joe Montanas and Joe Namaths and the Vince Lombardis and Bill Walshes who in the 20th century topped the NFL. Since the 2000 season, when...Tags: Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Carolina Panthers, Charlie Garner, Indianapolis Colts

Vick Vs. the Best
Latimes.com ColumnistFor the last two months, Atlanta's left-handed quarterback Michael Vick has been the hottest player in the NFL and the best of all time potentially. Some of us have been suggesting that he already is. Yet, even though Vick has the Falcons up to 8-3-1...Tags: McGraw-Hill Incorporated, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

A League With 8 Divisions
Latimes.com ColumnistThe most pressing business facing the NFL today is realignment, which, when completed in the next several months, will spread 32 pro clubs through eight separate but hopefully equal four-team divisions. Only one uncertainty remains: the precise...Tags: Edgerrin James, Indianapolis Colts, Marshall Faulk, Bars and Clubs, Jimmy Johnson

Garcia Gets the Points
Latimes.com ColumnistJeff Garcia of San Francisco, the NFL's most improved quarterback, will take the NFC's second highest scoring team into Carolina Sunday. As a scoring machine, no team can match the St. Louis Rams, of course, but Garcia has the 49ers averaging in excess...Tags: Brett Favre, Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, Marshall Faulk, Mike Ditka

How to Beat the Rams
Latimes.com ColumnistIn most of their first-down plays the other day, the Kansas City Chiefs, a famous running team, threw passes instead. And that's how they ran up that 54-34 score on the St. Louis Rams, who had won their first six games with the same plan: consistent...Tags: Derrick Alexander, Tony Gonzalez, Mass Media, Marshall Faulk, Sports

A New Scoring Machine
Latimes.com ColumnistThe proposition that the Oakland Raiders are finally a Super Bowl team again this season will be tested, for perhaps the last time, in the game of the week Monday night at Denver. If the Raiders win that one, their bright future will be more fact than...Tags: Rickey Dudley, Pittsburgh Steelers, Marshall Faulk, Bars and Clubs, Jimmy Johnson

Great Coaching
Latimes.com ColumnistCoaching seems to be the decisive variable in the development of a successful football team, although, in New Orleans as well as in Philadelphia on Sunday, that might not be apparent. One game doesn't make a career. The odds are that Jim Haslett of...Tags: Indianapolis Colts, National Football League, Al Davis, Shaun King, Multi-Sport Events

Chargers Charge Gaps All the Way to the Top
Latimes.com ColumnistThe San Diego football team has seized first place in the AFC West this year with carefully coached, uniquely aggressive defensive men who attack not the players in the offensive line but the gaps between those players. Up and down the line, as the...Tags: Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, Marshall Faulk, Education, Tim Brown

The Rams are Different
Latimes.com ColumninstWhen their offensive team is on the field this year, the St. Louis Rams are making the kinds of plays that no other teams are even attempting. And that's one reason why they're winning most of the time. At a critical moment Sunday, for example, the...Tags: New York Jets, Marshall Faulk, Jimmy Johnson, Doug Flutie, National Football League

Raiders May Be Caught Short
Latimes.com ColumnistThis is a game that figures to go Tampa Bay's way — on a relatively low-scoring day — because the Raiders haven't had time, during a short work week, to make the extensive changes they need to solve the Buccaneers' unconventional defense....Tags: John Lynch, Ronde Barber, National Football Conference, Charlie Garner, Sports
