My friend Ameer is here. Ameer is a friendly, self-depricating fellow who once described himself as “The Desert Dork.” He doesn’t know a lot about football, so we’re explaining the nuances of the game to him as it goes along. Only in 21st century America would you see a young Asian woman enthusiastically explaining football […]Read More
Steelers first drive? 3 and out. Colts first drive? One 80-yard touchdown pass from Peyton Manning to Marvin Harrison. J.J. reminded me earlier that next week’s game against the Bengals is more important. The Steelers can survive this loss as long as they win next week. I’m trying really hard to take that to heart […]Read More
The Colts still have a 23-7 lead with 2 minutes left. Unless Ryan Fitzpatrick shows up to sprinkle some magic dust on the Steelers, it’s all over but the shouting. Pittsburgh got throttled. They made some stupid mistakes, too. I’m continuing to remind myself that next week’s game is much more important to the Steelers’ […]Read More
For a minute, I wondered if it could get any worse for Pittsburgh. Then came Troy Polamalu. With the Colts pinned deep in their own and looking to make another move, Troy got the jump on Marvin Harrison, intercepted a Peyton Manning pass and set up the Steelers with 1st & goal at the 6. […]Read More
Everyone in this sports theater is. All twelve screens are tuned into the Monday Night game. Everywhere you look, football. J.J. and Angela are ready… My friend Dawn would like all of you to know that Peyton Manning is going down tonight. She would also like you to know that the Original Steakhouse & Sports […]Read More
Happy birthday to me. I am 34 today. Jesus never reached that age, so I guess I’m doing something right. I’m not feeling that much like partying tonight, though. I’m meeting friends at the Original Steakhouse & Sports Theatre in Durham tonight, and some of us will stick around and watch the Steelers-Colts game until […]Read More
Chris Berman just reported on ESPN that Michael Irvin got busted by the cops for having drug paraphrenalia in his car. Because the U just has to represent, kid. I’ll have more on this later, but it sounds like there may be some changes in the Sunday NFL Countdown gang very soon.Read More
So here’s how that long-ass overtime went… The Giants held the Seahawks yet again on their first drive. A key New York blitz on 3rd down set up good field position for the Giants near midfield. Then, despite yet another false start penalty, which made 111 on the day, the Giants moved the ball to […]Read More
Courtesy of Bruce, Dolphins die-hard sitting across the bar… Bruce’s Dolphins are in a dogfight against the Raiders. Early in the 4th, Miami is leading 23-21. And n, I’m not going to show you Clarence’s Giants boxers. The Edmonton Eskimos’ helmets look a little like the Packers’ helmets from a distance…Read More
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
