IT'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN CHAMP AND CHUMP
Stats ae for losers and fantasy league geeks. I've always believed this, but the Pittsburgh Steelers, who happen to be my boys, proved it for the third time this season as they dominated the Kansas City Chiefs statistically only to come up on the short end of a 27-24 OT defeat. Pittsburgh did the...

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
I am watching the so called "Rivalry of the Decade" between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. The Pats are leading by ten at the half, but there is still a lot of football left and as we know these games usually go down to the wire. Patriots-Colts is big at the present, because of...

USELESS INFORMATION
Every once in a while, I like to throw a little history into my recaps. Though we finally had a week where I had to use the clicker, because we had some good games, this is the one. So here goes. The Washington Redskins were the team of the South for 23 years. In 1960, the Dallas Cowboys were born....

WHAT WE NEED
With the halfway mark of the NFL season, all of us must agree that the games have been lacking drama. Today, we had four close games, only one of which, Dolphins-Jets came down to the final seconds. The Broncos were knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten rather easily by the Ravens. Indy had a close...

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL?!
As a high school football official, I get my schedule well in advance and I can tell you 80% of the games are just flat out dogs. Watching the NFL season this year, I wonder if their officials, game announcers, other media and the fans feel the same way about each weeks slate. I'm telling you, it's...

GNN HEADLINE SPORTS!
As Redd Foxx might have said, the G stands for Growler. In any event, here are the NFL headlines for week six so far: 59-0!!!!! Are the bullies from New England back? Who knows? Today they crushed the Tennesse Titans 59-0 with Tom Brady throwing for 5 TD's in the second quarter. In high school they...

I've Never Seen Anything Like It
Five weeks into the NFL season and this is what we have: New York Giants 5-0 Minnesota Vikings 5-0 Indianapolis Colts 5-0 Denver Broncos 5-0 New Orleans Saints 4-0 That's not unusual. This is: Kansas City Chiefs 0-5 Tampa Bay Bucs 0-5 St. Louis Rams 0-5 Tennessee Titans 0-5. I can't ever remember...

60 MINUTES
No, not the TV show. I'm talking about the length of an NFL football game. And in today's pro football, you had better be able to manage every one of them. The teams and more important the offenses are so good that unlike in the seventies when I first started watching the game no lead is safe....

HOORAY, FOR DETROIT! HOORAY AT LAST!
HOORAY FOR DETROIT, THEY'RE A HORSES ASS! Yes, the Detroit Lions won a game. The losing streak ends at 19 with 19 points scored to 14 for the Washington Redskins. Congrats to the Lions. Lion fan, if you're not already you should be doing Smokey Robinson's "Mickey's Monkey" in celebration. I, for...

THE NFAL (NO F***ING AROUND LEAGUE)
I hate when the Steelers lose. Anyone who has read this blog knows that. Especially when they have a team on the ropes, like today against the Bears, and let them off. The 17-14 loss could have been avoided if the Steelers hadn't f***ed around and left points out there that they should have scored....
