You’re probably thinking, “Wow, this site was suprisingly quiet during the first two rounds of the tournament.”
And you’d be right.  We were.
One reason is that I’ve been making some updates to the design, organization and features of the site.  Some subtle, some slightly larger.  It’s tough to write and design at the same time.
The second [...]

As thrilling as Super Bowl XLIII was, there were still many situations that raised my ire and/or incredulity both as part of the game and in its coverage. So instead of handing out game balls (which are well-deserved by the likes of Santonio Holmes and Larry Fitzgerald), I’ve decided to throw out penalty flags (sadly [...]

If you watch the media carefully, they have abdicated their responsibility as watch dogs of the powers that lord over our existence–the government, the corporation, the “league.”
Today’s media, save for the occasional Olberman, or “watch blog”, have assumed the position of cheerleader for whoever signs their pay check.
Rewind your TIVO of Super Bowl 43. [...]

Can’t say enough about the character, coaching and big play execution of the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers.
To bad the pre and post-game analyses seldom match the on field excellence very often witnessed in Super Bowls.
PRE-GAME BLATHER
Why do all the experts so often miss the mark? What made any of them think Edgerrin James would [...]

Super Bowl Sunday means greasy, fatty, meaty, cheesy food, anything that tastes great, health be damned.  So, in preparation for the big game, I got lunch at Philly’s Best, THE place for cheesesteaks in Los Angeles. Philly’s Best imports all their critical ingredients from Philadelphia, so they are as authentic as you can find in [...]

This is a cross-post of an article I wrote for FierceAndNerdy.com. 
Yes, it’s finally almost here. February 1, 2009–Super Bowl Sunday. The big day of the big game, America’s television-viewing and pizza-munching apex of the year. Whether you watch for the football or you watch for the commercials, you watch. And by you, I mean almost a [...]

If I hear another pundit say the secondary is the Steeler’s weak link on defense, I may have to take the jail time and kill someone.
What defense have these idiots been watching?
A quick gander at game-by-game stats screams the ’08 Steelers are one of the finest defenses in the Super Bowl era.
Admittedly, this “weak link” [...]

This may shock you.
I think most NFL coaches deserve to be fired.
This may sound like a Monday morning quarterback rant on steroids, but week in and week out I am amazed by some of the mistakes they make.
I have no problem with a coach who has a losing record. That is not grounds for [...]

An open letter from an angry fan to Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL…

Dear Mr. Goodell,
Please clarify the following rule:
Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8(g) of the NFL Official Playing Rules, which prohibits:
“…using any part of a player’s helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/‘hairline’ parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently [...]

Damn, I am the worst prognosticator since Michele Nostradamus’ relatively unknown cousin Murray Dunnosquatus. You remember he was the guy who predicted Canada would win the Civil War and a guy named Mussolini would invent Pizza Hut.
I picked the Eagles over the Giants based on my belief Eli Manning is the most overrated quarterback [...]
