ICE STATION ZEBRA — On Sunday, in the warmth of the NBC Studios, I found it absurd the NFL called the Eagles-Vikings game because of snow and wind in Philadelphia. You play football in snow and wind. I’ve seen fabled, unforgettable games (The Tuck Rule Game, Michael Vick beating Brett Favre at Lambeau) in snow and wind. Part of NFL lore. And I agreed with Cris Collinsworth, who said last night on NBC that postponing the Minnesota-Philadelphia game until Tuesday night is a dangerous precedent, because, as he said, it opens the door to more weather-related postponements for whatever reason.

GREEN BAY — The Good Ship Coughlin is sinking in this blizzard of ineptitude at the worst possible time. The disintegration of the Giants is stunning and it is inexcusable, and it didn’t only leave them stranded in Appleton, Wisc., last night because of the storm back home.

On a day when the Giants blew a 21-point fourth-quarter lead, the Detroit Lions snapped a 26-game road losing streak, the NFC West Division-leading teams fell to 6-8, and Tim Tebow ran for a 40-yard touchdown and passed for a 33-yard touchdown in his first NFL start, it was fitting that even the teams from the most recent Super Bowl had to scramble to maintain their equilibrium. (more)

Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis shut down so many receivers last season that teammates started calling his turf Revis Island, where opposing players were inevitably marooned. (more)

These days, John Heisman isn’t remembered for much beyond his name on an iconic trophy – a trophy he didn’t approve of in the first place. (more)

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has surpassed Peyton Manning in the overall lead for Pro Bowl voting. (more)

Rex Ryan is trying to put the Jets’ disastrous 45-3 loss to the Patriots behind the team in his own unique way. (more)

Steve Largent is my favorite football player of all time. He also delivered my favorite hit of all time. The story behind the hit goes something like this. (more)

FOXBOROUGH — They are a team that gives you chills on those freezing nights in December — just like in the good old days at the beginning of the century. (more)

In a move that was both sudden and carefully planned, the Broncos management team of Pat Bowlen and Joe Ellis ended the brief but stormy era of Josh McDaniels by firing the head coach Monday afternoon. (more)

INDIANAPOLIS – From the Colts’ viewpoint, what happened here last Sunday night was a product of San Diego’s No. 1-ranked defense. Surely the same awful things would not transpire when facing the Cowboys’ 23rd-ranked defense. (more)
