The NFL season is over and there is nothing left to do but look back at the great season of 2009. I've enjoyed this season very much and I'm sure that Roger Goodell has too what with the high ratings especially with the Super Bowl that even beat the MASH record. Here are my top ten stories of the year.
10. Micheal Vick's Return. Though he didn't do much on the field, I think that he still garnished enough attention that he will get a job somewhere else. I don't know if he will be a team's top dog ever again though.
9. Collapse of the Steelers. Even though the Steelers started 6-2, they finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs. Tough for the defending champs just rusting out like that.
8. Tom Cable Throws a Punch. Another Raiders incident is just fun to watch.
7. Jay Cutler and the Bears. Jay Cutler had a lot of attention until the end of the year. It was rough for him but he has shown he can still throw a good game at times, especially for the other team.
6. Chris Johnson's 2000 Yards. While Adrian Peterson's spotlight dropped, Johnson came in and showed he was the dominant runner. The way he ran, you'd think he was playing against the Wile E Coyotes.
5. Cowboys Turn it Around Late. Cowboys actually had a good December and won a playoff game for the first time since 1996. Media can shut up now.
4. Cowboy's New Stadium and TV. Nothing like a lot of seats and a Big TV to watch in front of them. Now where's the Chips?
3. Failure of Perfection. Colts and Saints were close to perfection but the Saints just lost it and the Colts just let it go because it was nap time. How did that work out, Colts?
2. Brett Favre's Comeback Season, Again. Him going to the Vikings, beating the Packers, and falling short again in the NFC Title Game. Favre by far got the most attention for one person. Hey Favre, you done yet and is that your final answer?
1. Saints win Super Bowl. Of Course this is the top story what with the story of New Orleans in recent history and what it means for the city. Saints will go marching into New Orleans on Tuesday Night with the Lombardi Trophy as the city will start Mardi Gras early.
Overall I give this season a A-. A great season but the 49ers fell way short.
