This gets harder every year. As usual, these are things that I remember about Super Bowls past from VI to last year that many people may not remember and from my own game watching experiences. Here goes: John Stallworth cramping up in Super Bowl XIII and missing the whole second half for Pittsburgh.... Sign in to see full entry.

I've Seen This Show Before

Where to start. I don't know so here goes. Congrats to the Pats and Giants on advancing to the Super Bowl. Enjoy the next two weeks. You won for three reasons. You ran the ball. The other team didn't. And you played strong defense. The same blueprint that has brought victory for the last 100 years.... Sign in to see full entry.

Holy Upsets, Batman! The Tables Have Turned!

I don't write this blog for my health. I try to give the reader some insight from the day's games and things to look for down the road through the course of a season. I'm not always right, but sometimes I get lucky. I wrote earlier that history states both number one seeds would probably not make it... Sign in to see full entry.

The Lean, Mean, Fat Reducing Machine(Wildcard) Weekend

The fat has been cut out of the NFL playoffs as the Seahawks, Jaguars, Giants and Chargers advance to the second round next weekend. Leaving us with the eight best teams in the league left to fight it out for the title. This is not always the case. As for the teams I considered to be fat, I have my... Sign in to see full entry.

We Got Mail!(And Some Wisdom From "Nature Boy" Ric Flair)

Who says the mailman doesn't come on Sundays? If you are a fan of the Steelers, Bucs, Jaguars and Cowboys than you definitely got mail today from your teams. All of them benched key starters in games that meant little or nothing to them(though Tony Romo and many Cowboys played into the second half).... Sign in to see full entry.

It's just that the theme is words that begin with the letter P: Pride of the Pros It started last week when Philly went into Dallas and beat the Cowboys. It continued today with two...

The Cowboys were due for a loss. The Eagles were due to win a close one. Washington QB Todd Collins was due for a start. Hadn't had one since '97. The Giants Tom Coughlin is due for his annual meltdown. Brett Favre was thought to be overdue for retirement by me. Now he may be due to get back to his... Sign in to see full entry.

Flat Out Beat!

That's what my Stillers were today. Flat out beaten by the Pats. Just like everyone else New England has played. So unless you are a Pats fan or your team beat New England(quick raise your hand. That's what I thought,) I don't want to hear it. Though I wish they had played better, I'm not too upset.... Sign in to see full entry.

Patriots-Cowboys: What Stands In the Way?

Right now, everyone has the Patriots and Cowboys ranked one and two in the NFL. Of course, no matter what their records are they will have to prove their worth in the post season. And as we've seen many times there is no guarantee that they will. Let me throw this at you. The number one seeds in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Thanksgiving

In the spirit of the holiday, there was a lot of giving in the NFL in week 12. In fact, the Philadelphia Iggles are giving the Patriots a hell of a run as I write this. So let's start with Thursday shall we. The league gave the Cowboys a hell of break by scheduling them at home before their... Sign in to see full entry.
