The latest installment in the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry is sure to be nasty,even with only one of those teams still competing for a playoff spot.On the eve of the best day of the week in the sports world, EWM takes a look at the most (and least) intriguing matchups of Week 14.Philadelphia (8-4) at Dallas (4-8) - Even though only one of these teams has any chance at playing football after January 2,

One of these men has a QB rating of 105.7 and only two INTs on the season. A Certain Ex-Felon Leads NFL in Pro Bowl Votes - Somewhere, Nils Lofgren weeps quietly to himself. Peyton Manning Plays Like Peyton Manning - No interceptions as the Colts barely overcome the Titans 30-28, despite a huge game by Chris Johnson.

That guy's pretty good. If you like... six-five, 230-pound quarterbacks with a... laser rocket arm... Thursday night, the reeling Peyton Manning Indianapolis Colts will face off against the slightly more reeling Tennessee Titans. Believe it or not, these teams are a combined 1-9 in their last 5 games, with the lone win belonging to the Colts (against a 2-10 Bengals team, in case

At least DC can still root for the Capitals. Redskins Suspend Haynesworth for Remainder of Season - I honestly had no idea he still played for them. Broncos Fire Josh McDaniels - They are late to the "fire your head coach midseason" party. McDaniels deserves it, too. How do you cheat against the 49ers and still lose? Steelers Win Against Baltimore Proves Costly - Sepulveda out for the season

Howard Cosell and Don Meredith Don Meredith, the original Dallas Cowboy and one of the trailblazers of the now-phenomenal Monday Night Football, passed away Sunday after suffering a brain hemorrhage. Meredith, who played his college ball at Southern Methodist University, was signed by the Cowboys in 1959 before they had played a single game as a professional franchise. He went on to become

Now he can't rely on his good looks to pick up women. Turns out Big Ben will actually need surgery on his broken nose. Am I a psychic or what? While I pretty much despise Roethlisberger the person, I have to give him props for the gutsiest performance I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. The Ravens should've put the game away a few times, but the Steelers hung around and made just enough

Peyton's doing his best Eli impression this year, with 11 picks in three games. What the hell happened to Peyton Manning?- Sure, it's probably just a temporary lull, but Peyton Manning is playing the worst football of his career. NFLPA tells players to prepare for lockout - A good scout is always prepared. Mostly just posturing by the NFLPA, but there's a bit of legitimate concern as well. If

This time he means it. Seriously. For real real. Not for play play. Stop me if you've heard this one before: Brett Favre is calling it a career, telling reporters earlier this week "I'm done." Don't get too excited - Favre says he will finish the season for the Vikings, lost though it may be. Making such an announcement midseason is a big departure from past Favre retirements, which

These teams can't wait to kill each other. The NFL loves making a big deal about rivalry games, but let's be honest, many of them just fall flat. Take Monday night's debacle on ESPN, for example. Was anyone really on the edge of their seats, waiting for the knock down, drag out rivalry of Cardinals/49ers to enter its next brutal chapter? Not so much. Many NFL rivalries are manufactured,

Hines, your tears sustain me. Recently, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward spoke out against the NFL and their stance on player safety, calling the league "hypocrites". He said: "The league doesn't care about us anyway. They don't care about the safety of the game. If the league was so concerned about the safety, why are you adding two more games on? You talk about you don't want

There's no point in adding a caption to this photo. Gruden not interested in coaching Miami - He's holding out for an NFL job. Preferably, one where he can inherit an amazing roster after a hall of fame coach skips town. Hines Ward blasts the NFL- Anyone else sick of the Steelers whining yet? If you want your teammates to stop getting penalized, tell them to STOP COMMITTING PENALTIES. Seriously

Goodell was staring at my rack the whole time. Recently, Ed Werder's Mustache was able to sit down for a Q & A session with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Our questions focused mainly on the precautions the league is taking to ensure player safety. The following is a transcript of the conversation. Mustache: "Thanks for taking the time to speak with us, commissioner." Goodell: "Please,

This man loves food and football more than anyone. Oh, yes, it is Thanksgiving Day. Time to celebrate some great things many of us take for granted in America: football and an abundance of food. I don't think we have to worry about a shortage of food come 2011, but there's a very real possibility of a lockout next year due to the collective bargaining agreement negotiations. Luckily,

At least you can always take solace in your killer 'stache, Chilly. Earlier today, the great Brad Childress was relieved of his duties as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. Sources close to the situation believe it's because he's horrible at his job. Vikings have named Leslie Frazier interim head coach. The Vikings embarrassed themselves yesterday, losing 31-3 to the Packers. Quarterback and

I would like to take this time to thank Richard Seymour for punching Ben Roethlisberger in the throat during the Steelers 35-3 victory over the Raiders this weekend. I truly believe the world would be a better place if this happened more often. Unfortunately, due to the unfair nature of the NFL, he will be unjustly fined for his heroic actions. Ben Roethlisberger, of course, is widely regarded

You just can't find good help these days. Here's Albert Haynesworth slipping into a coma while Michael Vick scrambles, eventually finding Jason Avant for a TD. If you pay attention, you'll see Mike McGlynn is clearly confused by Haynesworth's nap.

The Hulk only wishes he was as awesome as Vick. Oftentimes, you'll hear someone say a player played so well, he looked like he was in a video game. Against the Redskins on Monday Night Football, Michael Vick actually looked like he was in a video game. Set to easy. Using cheat codes. Before the game, there was a minor skirmish between the two teams, instigated by Redskins safety LaRon Landry
