Things You Will Probably Never Hear A Football Fan Say

Time for a little levity. I have a splitting headache and the Stillers blew another game on the road to the Jets so it's time for things that you will probably never hear a football fan say: The tickets cost how much? Is that all? No, I'd rather sit in the endzone than the fifty yard line. The NFL... Sign in to see full entry.

NFL Theatre

Go to an NFL football game. Better yet, go to an NFL football game that you have no rooting interest in. Even better, go to an NFL football game where you have no rooting interest between two teams that are not that far apart, are in the same division, have been playing each other forever and who's...

Let's Do It Again

Pats-Colts should, as the early seventies movie starring Bill Cosby and Sidney Pottier said, do it again. I want them to meet, not because they are the two best teams. No, I want them to meet because they are the two "smartest" teams. I love the chess match between Tony Dungy-Peyton Manning and Bill... Sign in to see full entry.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Here's what I liked about NFL Sunday number eight: The Cincinnati Bengals should rename their stadium after Art Rooney, Sr. instead of Paul Brown, Sr., because the Stillers own them there. Seven straight counting today. Despite the fact that I think no NFL team should play out of the country during... Sign in to see full entry.

Fantasy Football

No, not that kind. I'm talkin' all of the shoulda, woulda and couldas that we hear from the fans and media every week. My Stillers just lost to the Broncos 31-28 dropping their record to 4-2. Some would say it was a winnable game for the Stillers, but they lost so it wasn't. That's life in the NFL.... Sign in to see full entry.

Youngbloods

I'm not going to pile on the Dallas Cowboys. They were supposed to lose to the New England Patriots. If you noticed, the Las Vegas line went from 4 1/2 in favor of the Pats to 5 1/2 by the end of the week so someone knew something. It was just one of sixteen games as far as I'm concerned. No, I try... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't Bet On It

I used to bet on football. College(until someone in the know gave me the heads up on college fixing) and pros. Gave it up about ten years ago. Will play one every now and then when I get the itch, but always quit when I lose. I just couldn't enjoy the games with money on them. Today, there were... Sign in to see full entry.

It Ain't Easy

My Stillers suffered the inevitable first loss of the NFL season today to the Arizona Cardinals. I've had this game circled since the beginning of the season and the only thing I have to say is it's hard to win when the other team knows your playbook and personnel. The Stillers were going to have to... Sign in to see full entry.

Supermen

What do Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger, Donovan McNabb, Matt Hasselbeck, Jake Delhomme and Steve McNair have in common? They are all QB's who have taken their teams to the Super Bowl. And they were all starters who won today, though Delhomme and McNair did not finish... Sign in to see full entry.

The Early Dope

For those of you who hate the Patriots, you are in for a long season. They just finished crushing the San Diego Chargers 38-14 and it wasn't even that close. The last thing this team needed was motivation and that's what this whole "spygate" thing has given them. They are 2-0 in the AFC East while... Sign in to see full entry.
