The NFL Playoffs: Making Your Head Explode

Instead of me typing out every single conceivable way someone can make the playoffs, just go here. If that doesn’t do the trick for you, I’ll break it down for you in simple terms.

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.

The JMRA Hall of Fame – Inductee #2

Despite the lack of postseason success, the group gave its architect and former Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan, plenty to be happy about. They offered some all-time great performances including the “Bodybag Game”, “The Bounty Bowl”, “When Troy Met Clyde” or my personal favorite, the “House of Pain” game.

Week 14’s Face of Defeat

Things don’t figure to get easier for Dallas with games at New Orleans, Washington and at home with Philly on the horizon. We very well could be watching the last days of Wade Phillips as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. After all, doesn’t someone have to be held accountable for this?

People Still Angry With Michael Vick…Or Not

Video of the Day: Deja Vu

The talk of the football world is the 4th and 2 Belichick call to go for it, which as a result ultimately did in the Patriots.

Well played NFL, [...]

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 [...]

Week 8’s Face of Defeat

Tom Coughlin WAS coaching one of the best teams in the National Football League just a few weeks ago. After getting p’wned by the New Orleans Saints 48-27 in Week 6, the Giants have fallen on hard times. New York’s woes continued yesterday in a 40-17 drubbing at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles.  Losers [...]

The Trouble With Washington

The Washington Redskins are a boring franchise. It’s in their nature and who they are.  Don’t get me wrong; obviously their franchise has been littered with characters over the years from former owner George Preston Marshall to George Allen and to John Riggins.
