Why This Win Means So Much to New Orleans

February 8, 2010 – 10:59 am

Going into Sunday’s game, everyone had the subplot in the back of their minds about New Orleans recovery from the devastation of hurricane Katrina.  Only, for Louisiana natives that subplot was the main story.  While the rest of the country sits back and assumes that a sports team’s victory 5 years after a natural disaster [...]

Favre to Retire

January 25, 2010 – 11:43 am

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre called a press conference today to announce his (third) retirement from football.  Favre cried a lot and said that finishing his career on a game in which his 2 interceptions and 1 fumble ended his team’s chance at a title was a fitting way to call it quits.  Immediately after his [...]

3 Beatdowns and a Little Baby (Keith Brooking)

January 18, 2010 – 12:26 pm

Welcome to the weekend roundup.  Let’s jump right in.
Cardinals/Saints
Here’s all you need to know about this game:

Not the QB shootout I was hoping for.  The Cardinals couldn’t protect Warner, which kept him from getting the ball in the hands of his talented receivers. Meanwhile, Drew Brees and Reggie Bush put on a pretty good [...]

Every Grocery Bagger’s Hero

January 11, 2010 – 9:37 am

Yesterday Kurt Warner played possibly the greatest game by a QB in the history of the NFL playoffs.  Here is his stat line:
29-33, 379 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT
He had more TDs than incompletions.    One of his incompletions was due to Charles Woodson, possibly the defensive MVP, just barely tipping the ball off course.  [...]

Big Fat Person Key to Victory

January 8, 2010 – 10:50 am

In assessing the first round NFL playoff matchups, ESPN’s Mark Schlereth named fat man Vince Wilfork the key to the Patriots victory, and presumably the one to blame if they lose.  The Patriots hopes to advance to the next round now lie on his broad, fat shoulders.  He must use his tremendous girth to lift [...]

Is Pat White Awake Yet?

January 4, 2010 – 9:47 am

I know Pat White is a proponent of more regulations on concussions in the NFL, but did he really need to go this far to prove his point?

UPDATE: Pat White is awake and doing fine.

Jim Caldwell is a Coward

December 29, 2009 – 9:59 am

Everyone knows what went down on Sunday.  The Colts had a legitimate chance to go 15-0 heading into the last week of the season and make a run at an undefeated season, and their coach went and pulled his starters in the 3rd quarter, thus forfeiting the game to the Jets.  Everything about that is [...]

Failgate Party

December 21, 2009 – 10:24 am

I try not to focus too much of this site on my Chicago teams, and for the most I’ve been really good about it.  But I have to post about this.  The Bears are terrible.  I haven’t written anything about them since our week one disaster, and things haven’t changed at all.  Our “franchise” QB [...]

Brady Quinn’s Girlfriend

November 25, 2009 – 8:57 am

Apparently Brady Quinn is dating Olympic Gymnast Alicia Sacramone.  He must not care about all the jokes that are sure to fly his way about how his girlfriend could kick his ass.  Either that, or he doesn’t find them funny, because his girlfriend could totally kick his ass.  Here’s the proof:

Devin Hester’s Butt

November 23, 2009 – 3:44 pm

I was at this game, and nobody in the stadium noticed Devin Hester getting pantsed by the Eagles D.  Guess those who were watching on TV got lucky, or unlucky… I forget if accidentally seeing a grown man’s ass on TV is considered good luck or not.
