Brett and Brad – a Match Made in the NFL

"To the facilities, Jeeves." Brett Favre was brought to the Minnesota Vikings to win a Super Bowl - preferably Super Bowl  XLIV. It is now known that Sir Favre has walked to the line of scrimmage after calling a coordinator-mandated run play, realized that the defense had eight men in the box, waiting for Adrian Peterson, and audibled to a pass play.

NFL Week 15: Carson Throws Like #15 Was On the Field; Titans Miracle Run Continues; Ben Goes Over 500′; Eagles QBs Hurt; 10 Teams Between 6-8 and 8-6

The Cincinnati Bengals gather in remembrance of deceased teammate Chris Henry before their game with San Diego. Parity baby, parity. Exactly one-third of the NFL’s 30 teams have records between 6-8 and 8-6; five are better than 9-5; five are 9-5, and 10 are 5-9 or worse. That must be pretty close to Commissioner Roger Goodell’s dream Bell Curve for the [read more...]

NFL Week 11: Patriots Revenge, the Oakland Fly Trap Eats Again, and More…

Jay Cutler contemplates the latest way he found to lose a game for the Chicago Bears. Oakland (3-7) 20, Cincinnati (7-3) 17. Sunday showed the Bengals immaturity. After jumping out to a quick 14-0 lead, too many Bengals players took the reset of the game off thinking the Raiders would pack it in; some appeared mot to show up at all [read more...]

NFL Week 9: Top Teams Exhibit “Escapability”

Indianapolis (8-0) 20, Houston (5-4) 17. Houston placekicker Chris Brown went wide left to keep the Texans from going to OT with the Colts.  The win sets up a big home game for Indy against New England next week. For Houston, Sunday meant another excruciating loss to the Colts. We’ll see if the Texans can bounce back because they must [read more...]

Eagles-Redskins: Happy Days Aren’t Here Again for Washington

The “new” Washington Redskins entertained the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. In their first six games before Sherm Lewis took over the play-calling for the Redskins, the offense average 13.2 points per game, 24.5 rushing attempts, 32.5 pass attempts, and 294 yards per game. Monday night the Redskins – we’ll go backwards, here – gained 308 yards, attempted 49 [read more...]

The Danger of Rush Limbaugh, Silence, and Understatement

Now that it’s safe for ESPN to discuss Rush Limbaugh at length, we know Dave Checketts has dropped Limbaugh from his investment group seeking to purchase the St. Louis Rams. The fear here is that the players who spoke out against Limbaugh and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith will cease being vigilant in ensuring that people who would be detrimental to the [read more...]

NFL Week 6: Pats Hit 59; Saints Hang 40-Burger on Giants; Atlanta, Vikes Escape; Cards Deal; Reid Passes on Win, and the Rest of Sunday’s Games

Kansas City (1-5) 14, Washington 2-4) 6. Redskins head coach Jim Zorn yanked Jason Campbell and played backup Todd Collins in the second half of Washington’s game with Kansas City. And other than one long pass on a flea-flicker play and a long Clinton Portis run, the Washington Redskins looked just like they did when Campbell was in the game. [read more...]

Stephen A. Smith, Mike Greenberg, and the Daily Skip Bayless (they all fit together)

An appearance on MSNBC’s The ED Show, a commentary on CNN.com ———- and now an appearance alongside Michael Meyers, a long-marginalized and forgotten, dusty, shaggy-ass lawn jockey, and founder of the New York Civil Rights Coalition (an oxymoron if there ever was one) on Fox News with Sean Hannity. While Meyers sprayed into the air right-wing odes to idiocy – “da libero [read more...]

On Rush Limbaugh, Stephen A. Smith and Scoop Jackson: There’s a Very Thin Line Between Being Respected and Being Blacklisted

A few days ago I wrote critically about a conversation between Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic on their radio-television simulcast, the Mike and Mike in the Morning show. The conversation dealt with NFL players who spoke out about the potential of Rush Limbaugh’s inclusion in a group of investors led by Dave Checketts who have the collective goal to purchase [read more...]

Rush Limbaugh: The Big Subliminal Shows Its True Colors

Ahhh yes, the Big Subliminal is at it again. This time the subliminal message is, Rush Limbaugh as a potential owner of an NFL team is a relative non-issue. ESPN, through their lack of coverage of Limbaugh’s want to own the St. Louis Rams, is well, well, damn, do I have to say it? Yes I do. The paucity of time across [read more...]
