Clarence had to leave the room

After watching Shaun Alexander break off some big runs on that last drive, Clarence had to leave the room. He couldn’t watch. Joe Jurevicius scored on a TD pass from Matt Hasselbeck. The sad thing is that Clarence called that TD right after the Giants were held to a field goal on their last scoring […]Read More

So much for the Grey Cup

  After seeing the Black-Eyed Peas doing the Grey Cup halftime show — the Black-Eyed Peas are Canadian? — the man with the remote switched the TV in the far end of the room over to the Virginia-Arizona basketball game. Edmonton was up at the half, 10-1. The NFL don’t need no stinking rouge…Read More

4th Q, 1:59 left: Seahawks 21, Giants 21

Amani Toomer dragged the second foot in the end zone and got the TD reception. The Giants converted the 2-point try, and now it’s all tied up. For the record, Clarence did say the Giants were going to win this game. Then again, what did you expect to hear from a man wearing Giants underwear?Read More

End of regulation: Seahawks 21, Giants 21

Y’know, I’m kind of glad Clarence wasn’t here to see this. With the score tied and 1:59 left, the Seahawks laid an egg, going 3-and-out and being forced to punt from deep in their own territory. The Giants D came up big and got the offense the ball right at midfield. A key first-down pass […]Read More

Broncos 24, Cowboys 21

After Denver won the toss, Ron Dayne busted out a 55-yard run in overtime that set up a chip shot for Jason Elam. Yes, Giants fans, THAT Ron Dayne. I bet you’re glad you cut him now, huh? Perhaps you should be, because for the moment, the Giants have a half-game lead over the Cowboys. […]Read More

End of regulation: Broncos 21, Cowboys 21

Yes, definitely a better game. Too bad I was zonked out on tryptophan during most of the 2nd half. That’s football on Thanksgiving, though. Millions of American men missed most of the good parts today because they ate all that turkey and dozed off on the sofa. It’s tradition. Bill Parcells looks like he ate […]Read More

Halftime: Broncos 14, Cowboys 14

Now THIS is a game. That first contest between Atlanta and Detroit was a one-sided joke. Mom’s still complaining about how bad the Lions sucked, and she’s not even a Lions fan. This one, however, is worth watching, and the HD signal issues have settled down, so no hiccups. Jim Nantz mentioned that Denver QB […]Read More

Falcons 27, Lions 7

The Lions stunk today. That’s pretty much all you need to know about this game. If Matt Millen still has his current job come February, the team owner is insane. Turkey’s ready. Mom’s made something called “stuffing balls.” Fill in your own joke here…Read More

The irony of over-the-air HD

High definition television is a marvel of modern technology. The picture is so sharp and clear, it makes regular television look old, outdated and downright ugly. But. If you can’t get your HD fix through cable or satellite, you have to get it through over-the-air broadcast signal. That means you need an antenna, and if […]Read More
