Did Beckham take Brady or Zidane to the ESPYs?
While David Beckham is most likely enjoying a romantic honeymoon with French footballer Zinedine Zidane, it was Landon Donovan who got the shaft at the 2008 ESPY awards. Who am I to question the great and powerful ESPYs? While David Beckham is likely the prettiest player in the MLS (as evident by the ESPY nod), I don't think you can hand ...
Choke or Comeback?
If there is one thing that sports fans can agree on, it's that there is nothing that sports fans can agree on. Some people like the designated hitter in baseball, others say it takes away the basic elements of the sport. There are both major fans and major critics of the BCS in college football. Even fans of a respective ...
Spygate: What Arlen Specter Really Wants From NFL Owners and Roger Goodell
Let's see, how does this go? The New England Patriots at New York Giants football game is scheduled to be aired on the NFL Network only. However, because the Patriots are undefeated and this is the final opportunity for another team to defeat them during the regular season, there is a groundswell to have the game aired on some channel ...
Bill Belichick: The Mystery of The Hoodie
Bill Belichick is giving the press nothing. Nada. Not an inch. And I, for one, love it. Mike Greenberg on the Mike and Mike in the Morning show is "flabbergasted" over the Patriots head coach's ability to give so little of himself to the press. Greenberg said things like he has never seen anyone who is so guarded in the ...
Super Bowl XLII: Separating Fact from Fiction
They choked. In the end, the Patriots cracked under the constant media scrutiny and pressure of the last 12 weeks; cracked under the weight of perfection. Wading through all the nonsense of the "Eli came of age" talk, the New England Patriots, from the coaching staff to the players, must take the lion's share of the blame for their losing Super Bowl ...
Super Bowl XLII: We’ll Never Hug a Snake
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? In scientific theory, yes; philosophically, no. But, don't get started on the whole "chicken or the egg" thing. That requires a discussion of evolution and genetics that could generate rioting hordes with pitchforks. In Boston, Portland and Concord this morning, fans ...
Giant Deer in Headlights
If you've ever driven through Wisconsin late at night, you know all too well to watch out for the single greatest danger to drivers on twisting, turning, single-lane roads. No, it's not drunken Cheeseheads bombed out of their sausage-lined skulls on Jaegermeister and Leinenkugel - though that is a real danger. Rather, it is the innocent deer that wanders into ...
NFL in Brief
It's hard to think of a Wild Card weekend in recent years that passed with such predictability. At times, it seemed that the most unexpected twists and turns could be found on MSNBC, where the Republican and Democratic primaries have turned into the political equivalent of a jump-ball. Tuesday's New Hampshire primary may just turn out to be more exciting ...
And Down the Stretch They Come
With three-quarters of the 2006 NFL season already in the books, 17 of 32 teams are realistically alive for 12 playoff berths. The division winners are pretty much set in the AFC, yet three of the four divisions are still unsettled over in the NFC. The Colts have clearly established themselves as the team to beat as they march toward ...
What We Learned From Week 1 in the NFL
There are few things more meaningless than preseason games in the National Football League, aside from Kanye West's political beliefs and Richard Hatch's tax return. The results actually count in the standings after Week 1, so this is the first true test to see which coaches have made the right adjustments, which free agent signings will pay off, and which ...
