Aikman: 86 the Pro Bowl

Troy Aikman on the Pro Bowl: “I know Paul Tagliabue isn’t going to want to hear this: Nobody wants to play in a Pro Bowl. Everybody wants to be voted in. Everybody wants to be in Hawaii. But nobody wants to play. The roster is filled with alternate players. The guys who are voted in […]Read More

It was one thing to think the Eagles wouldn’t win the Super Bowl — and hey, they didn’t — but most bettors thought they wouldn’t even cover the 6 1/2-point spread. Even George Bush Sr. predicted the Patriots would win by two touchdowns.

Yes, yes, I know. I’ve been very slack the last few days in keeping everyone up to date on what’s happening. As a result, there probably aren’t too many of you left out there, which leaves me talking to the wind, I guess. On the other hand, what else is blogging but talking the wind […]Read More
