NFL Monday

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... Sign in to see full entry.

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.... Sign in to see full entry.

On opening day of the NFL season we find that there is no comparison between preseason and regular season football. From the first play, the game is more intense.

Another football season is here so it's time to blog. Usually I write about other things during the offseason, but let's face it, everything that happens in the sports world has happened before. If you don't believe me I have two whole bookshelves and boxes of magazines to prove it. So excuse me if... Sign in to see full entry.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals played for the NFC championship in the Arizona desert and put up 57 points. The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers met for the AFC title in a Pennsylvania deep freeze and scored 37. In Arizona both offenses took what they wanted. In Pittsburgh both...

...what we thought we'd get in the conference championship games after this weekend. At least in the NFC. I mean who really thought we'd see the Arizona Cardinals hosting the Philadlphia Eagles for a trip to the Super Bowl? I think that this is the first time that a four seed and a sixth seed have...

IT EXISTS! Well, at least when the Steelers have a first round bye it does. So with some not so intriguing matchups this weekend I took in my nephews track meet on Saturday and Lebron James against the Wizards on Sunday. However, I did catch some of the action and made sure to watch the... Sign in to see full entry.
