The Pro Bowl: Alo…Oh Wait.

The Pro Bowl is in Miami this year and during the Super Bowl bye week no less! Let the good times roll. Here is a look at the rosters. Nothing really earth shattering. Favre. Brady. Manning, etc. The newbies include the electrifying Chris Johnson, Miles Austin, and DeSean Jackson, who made it as a receiver [...]

Week 16’s Face of Defeat

While he was starting to approach a realism level similar to that of Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, Jim Caldwell does really exist. The Colts elected to eschew going for the perfect season and mailed it in during a 29-15 loss to the Jets on Sunday in Indianapolis.

The Mediocre 22

The Indianapolis Colts established a new NFL record on Sunday by defeating the Denver Broncos and winning its 22 straight regular season game in the process. The achievement which dates back to early last season bested the efforts of the 2006-08 Patriots, who won 21 regular season games in a row.

More Belichick

According to research done on advancedNFLstats.com, the man was right. Under the circumstances, going for it, while jarring to see, is an understandable proposition. If his own team can’t get over what he did, than the Patriots have far greater problems than Belichick going for it on 4th and 2.

Defending William Stephen Belichick

As per usual, the football talking heads are missing the boat on this call. The problem isn’t the call itself for my money. It’s the events leading up to the call that make it look awful.

SNF – Patriots/Colts Live Blog: The Gathering

Brady. Manning. No further explanation needed. Let’s get it.
8:15 – You’ll never see a broadcast crew this excited to do a game. Al Michaels seems downright giddy doing the intro, giving the obligatory heavyweight fight reference.

Two Minute Warning – Everybody Hurts Sometime

Bare with me through our latest voyage. Thanks to the Phils’ World Series loss, I’m in a bit of an ornery mood these days. My email box and Facebook account has been swamped with arrogant and cocksure emails from Yankee fans celebrating title 27. Most of which I can’t even put in print.
On Thursday, I [...]

Two Minute Warning – Certified

As we stand days away from a potential Phillies-Yankees World Series and the biggest sports fan battle to hit the east coast in decades, it is time to issue a test.
I’m declaring open season on all fraudulent fans; and as they say on the streets, let’s not get it twisted. I love my Phillie fan [...]

Kate Hudson Saves All

Bill Simmons made an interesting point on his Twitter last night. Sports fans operate in a universe these days where the two most clutch players are Alex Rodriguez and Peyton Manning. Does anyone find that bizarre? Seriously, these guys embodied postseason futility.
Manning, a notorious postseason slacker, won Super Bowl XLI and beat Tom Brady and [...]

Two Minute Warning – Half Dead

One of my favorite pastimes is watching bad movies. If it’s on cable and has one star, I’m in; Killer Clowns from Outer Space? Check. Where do I sign? Penitentiary II featuring Ghostbusters star Ernie Hudson? Probably watched it 15 times. In fact, more that one later…
Most terrible movies work for me except for Hulk [...]
