Down on the Bayou

So, lost in the haze of verbal gunfire launched at Jim Caldwell, Bill Polian, Curtis Painter and the Indianapolis Colts is another brewing mess going in New Orleans.

The JMRA Hall of Fame – Inductee #5

The 2009 NFL season represents an odd journey for Bill Belichick. From the controversy of 4th and 2 to Randy Moss “dogging it”, he’s had a few hurdles to clear. However, none of that stops him from becoming the fifth inductee to the JMRA Hall of Fame.

Video of the Day: The Glorious Randy Moss

Here is a break from Favre vs. Chilly and Perfect-gate in Indy. Last Sunday, a Randy Moss impersonator was spotted in the crowd during the Pats/Jags wipeout. Watch as Moss spots him and thus, hi-jinx ensues.

Curtis Painter and The Perfection Blues

The Colts have won one Super Bowl this decade. One. Not two. Not three. Not four. One. Thus, their philosophy of resting Peyton Manning and others because they might get injured has not exactly paid off handsomely.

Week 16’s Face of Defeat

This is plain awful. No wonder the ‘86 Cowboys finished 7-9, which marked the first sub .500 season in Dallas since 1964. Merry Christmas!!

The JMRA Hall of Fame – Inductee #4

Before there was Michael Vick and Daunte Culpepper, Randall Cunningham was an athlete well ahead of his time. Cunningham could do it all. He could throw it short, medium, or long and then of course, he could run.

Favre Vs. Chilly

The Brett Favre/Brad Childress saga could provide for some compelling drama as we approach the postseason. Last night, Favre told the media that Childress wanted to take him out of the game but Minnesota’s elder quarterback refused. Suffice to say, Chilly was none too pleased. As explained by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com, this isn’t the [...]
