While other blogs are being lazy and taking a day or two off for Thanksgiving, this blog is still chugging along right through the holiday. Why? Well, let’s just say it’s a two-minute walk to my parents’ house, as opposed to the six-hour drive it was last year, and since it’s just the three of us for the holidays this year, […]Read More

Some of you know this, but in case you weren’t aware, I am a complete roller coaster fanatic. After getting past all the big events at the start of the new year — Super Bowl, ACC & NCAA hoops tournaments, DCLX, etc. — I start planning my big theme park road trips for the year. Nothing […]Read More

Look, kids! A logjam! Seed Team Record Div. Conf. 1 Seattle Seahawks 8-2 5-0 7-1 2 Chicago Bears 7-3 3-0 6-1 3 Dallas Cowboys 7-3 3-1 6-2 4 Carolina Panthers 7-3 1-1 5-2 5 New York Giants 7-3 2-1 6-2 6 Tampa Bay Buccanneers 7-3 1-1 5-2 — Atlanta Falcons 6-4 1-1 3-3 — Washington […]Read More

Okay, folks, we’re ten games into the season and headed toward the big finish. Let’s take a look at how the playoff race is shaping up. First, the AFC… Seed Team Record Div. Conf. 1 Indianapolis Colts 10-0 4-0 8-0 2 Denver Broncos 8-2 3-0 6-1 3 Pittsburgh Steelers 7-3 3-1 6-3 4 New England […]Read More

I just realized why the Steelers didn’t utilize Antwaan Randle El more in yesterday’s game, and it wasn’t entirely because of bone-headed play-calling by Bill Cowher and Ken Whisenhunt. It’s because management doesn’t want to give him a big contract during the offseason. Randle El is in the last year of his current contract. If […]Read More

If you think that being a Steelers and Panthers fan yesterday was bad — and let me tell ya, it was bad — try being an Eagles fan today. After dropping to 4-6 and falling off the face of the playoff race, the Philadelphia Eagles have announced that QB Donovan McNabb and CB Lito Sheppard are both having […]Read More

I’d say more about this game, but it wouldn’t be enough, and I’ve got somewhere else to be. Just click here and look at the numbers. They’re epic – almost as epic as what San Diego did to Buffalo, but that game was too one-sided to be all that interesting. Edgerrin James had a lot fewer yards than […]Read More

Edgerrin James got his wish. He gained 50 yards on 12 carries in that quarter, and he scored a TD on Naptown’s lone scoring drive. At one point, he carried the ball 7 straight times in that drive. Toward the end of that quarter, the Bengals went for it on 4th & 1. Chris Perry […]Read More

kay, seriously, these numbers are just sick. Peyton Manning: 16-for-23, 272 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT when he stepped on one of his linemen and stumbled as he threw. The Bengals scored a TD off that play. Before that, the Colts scored 5 TDs on 5 drives. Carson Palmer: 11-for-16, 162 yards and 1 […]Read More

The San Diego Chargers are in their powder blues today, meaning Berman is going to annoy the hell out of us with his “Best. Uniforms. EVAR!” schtick. Drew Brees, meanwhile, is making a case for his next contract. Against the Buffalo Bills today, Brees is 21-for-24 for 265 yards and 4 TDs. IN THE FIRST […]Read More
