“Taking a pop culture incident like that and having it take precedence over the underlying problems of the world was absurd.” -Nicolette Sheridan, on the controversial Monday Night Football skit in which she got naked in front of Terrell Owens. (Yeah, and check out that Skyy Vodka ad on that link…)Read More

As if the potential lack of Terrell Owens isn’t bad enough, the Philadelphia Eagles are now without the services of tight end Chad Lewis. Lewis, who caught two touchdown passes in yesterday’s AFC Championship game, will require surgery on Wednesday for a “Lis Franc sprain” in his foot, which he suffered on his second TD pass. […]Read More

Len Pasquarelli of ESPN writes that the Steelers failure to convert on 4th and 1 set the tone for the rest of the game, while Jimmy Golen of AP notes that both the Steelers and the press were so focused on Corey Dillon that they all forgot about Deion Branch. And while Len’s at it, he also […]Read More

Clark Judge of CBS Sportsline has a hunch that Terrell Owens won’t play in the Super Bowl. It’s probably a good one. Sure, T.O. was jumping around yesterday and stopped just short of stealing some pom-poms from the Eagles’ cheerleaders, the only people in Philly to sell more 2005 calendars than T.O. himself. His ankle sprain, however, […]Read More

Click here for final game stats from SuperBowl.com. So what happened? For starters, Ben Roethlisberger didn’t play particularly well. You could argue that his team tried to cover up a thumb injury; several throws did get away from him, and there’s no way that cold water poured on his hand in the first half was […]Read More

What a dismal day. The Steelers tanked, Roethlisberger played like a rookie, both my conference championship picks were wrong, Joanne went home with someone else, and to top it all off, Johnny Carson died. I think I’m going to go to karaoke now and sing something angry…Read More

Click here for final game stats from NFL.com. Okay, so I got that one wrong. Philadelphia’s game plan on defense was to bottle up the Falcons’ running game as much as possible and force Vick to win the game with his arm. As talented as Vick is, he’s still not entirely comfortable in the West […]Read More

To those Steelers fans visiting here today thanks to this Jeremy Boren article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Yeah, I messed up. The source I used for the Steelers’ postseason records, Pro-Football-Reference.com, had no record of the 1962 Playoff Bowl. So the Steelers played in two postseason games before the 1970s. Still, the point is that the Steelers just weren’t that […]Read More

People wonder why I obsess over smartphones as much as I do. It’s because of days like today. My choices for the day are: a.) Going to Varsity Ale House to be with my fellow Steelers fans, or b.) Blogging the conference championship games from home for you people. It’s the 21st century, and there’s no reason […]Read More

Yes, yes, I know. It’s the day before the conference championships, and I’ve been virtually silent all day. I’ll have you know that I’ve been working on complicated computer simulations all day that will help me divine the outcome of tomorrow’s games. Here, take a look…Read More
