Memo to all hosers…

If your 2005 Grey Cup turned out to be so damn great — even without the Renee and Angela wannabes in the stands — how come I can’t find a BitTorrent distribution of this game anywhere? Come on, Canada, share that rich 3-down football tradition with the rest of us. Let us see for ourselves how great your game […]Read More

Mike Martz wants his job back…

…and that appears to make a grand total of one person in the St. Louis Rams organization who wants Mike Martz to return to his old job. Granted, it’s kind of hard to fire someone who’s on disability leave, but the Rams look like they’re going to give that a try. The whole soap opera […]Read More

Phil Luckett strikes again

The NFL has come forward and admitted to Mike Holmgren and the Seattle Seahawks that referee Larry Nemmers may have made mistakes in that Seahawks-Giants game. It seems that Jeremy Shockey’s 2nd quarter TD, in which he was knocked loopy as his second foot was coming down, and Amani Toomer’s 4th quarter back-of-the-end-zone grab may not have […]Read More

End of 3rd: Colts 23, Steelers 7

My friend Victor is somewhere in the Hoosier Dome nosebleed seats. He’s got a rolled up sign that reads, “Dear Mr. Shula: You’re welcome.” Something tells me he’s not going to be able to roll that out tonight. Another friend of mine up there called me and told me that obstructed-view seats were going for […]Read More

Well, that could have been better

Bill Cowher called an onside kick to start the half. The Colts recovered on the Steelers’ 37. Then they scored a touchdown. Nice one, Bill. Did Matt Millen call that one in for you during halftime? Early in the 3rd, the Colts are up, 23-7.Read More

Halftime: Colts 16, Steelers 7

Want to see something really sad? Jerome Bettis: 6 carries, 9 yards. Duce Staley: 2 carries, 4 yards. Willie Parker: 4 carries, 0 yards. So yeah, the Colts are geared up to stop the run. Their pass rush is really jacked up tonight, too. Everyone on that defense seems to be getting tackles right when […]Read More
