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 [...]

Eye Candy / Eye Rape, Week 9 Edition

November 9, 2009 – 5:35 pm

It’s time for our weekly football column! This week’s games were fun to watch, but not for the football being played. Let’s dive in!

Racist Team Name V Falcons
Any game involving The Unconscionably Racist Team from DC Whose Name I Refuse To Type is automatically eye rape. They’re terrible, they’re coach is a dead man walking, [...]

Eye Candy / Eye Rape

October 27, 2009 – 8:41 am

Welcome to another addition of Eye Candy / Eye Rape where I rate the NFL games this week in turms of their watchability. Let’s get going:
Texans vs. 49ers: The first half was some brutal eye rape, but then the 49ers came back and almost tied it. Plus, we got to see Alex Smith look like [...]

Drew Breese: “And I’ll break all your daddy’s records, too!”

October 19, 2009 – 1:37 pm

Drew Brees was overheard shouting “Deez nutz!” as he threw his 4th TD pass in his team’s destruction of the formerly undefeated Giants. Eli and the Giants looked like crap against the only good team they’ve played all year, while the Saints looked great in ever phase of the game. Brees not only proved how [...]

ESPN is Made of Lemmings

October 17, 2009 – 11:42 am

I was going to write an NFL picks column today, but instead I would like to pick on the people who do. As I was preparing for my post, I took a look at ESPN’s “expert” picks. Here’s what their chart looks like.
Notice anything odd? Like, maybe, how there are 5 unanimous picks, 4 picks [...]
