If you are a true blue NFL fan you probably have at least one item of team related apparel. If you have a favorite player there is also a good chance that you have a t-shirt, jacket of jersey with that player's name on the back.

It’s the final week of the NFL’s 2011 regular season and only three playoff spots remain: the AFC West and NFC East titles and an AFC wild card berth. The AFC North is Baltimore’s to lose, but both the Ravens and the rival Pittsburgh Steelers have already qualified for the playoffs. Each game this week is a divisional rematch.
Here’s a preview of the week 17 action, with all games slated for Sunday:
Now that we're in the "Frog Days of Winter". the NFL football season gets more serious for teams looking for playoff berths. And, a holiday gift from the NFL, there'll be 13 games played today, Christmas Eve.

One of my favorite aspects of the "Frog Days of Fall" is college football, and with a number of local colleges, we have plenty of good games to follow. Checking our latest Frogcast for the weekend, temperatures should be in the mid 50s on Saturday with sunny skies - perfect football weather. And, let's wish our local high schools good luck in their upcoming weekend games!
