Both Pennsylvania Teams Lose Field Goal Nailbiters

After scoring a touchdown with only a few seconds left, coming from behind and making up a 17-0 deficit to take the lead, Philadelphia still managed to lose their game against the Buccaneers. Matt Bryant drilled a 62-yard field goal to give Tampa Bay a 23-21, the third longest in NFL history, behind... Sign in to see full entry.

Tigers Even Up World Series

I got home from work just in time to see Fox sign off from Game Two of the World Series. My local news sports announcer told me that Detroit won to even the World Series at one game apiece. Kenny Rogers was the winning pitcher. For an aging country singer, he sure has a good pitching arm. Anyway,... Sign in to see full entry.

Question Of The Game: Why Did They Pitch To Pujols?

With two rookies starting, expectations were high for both teams. Detroit looked good, jumping out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st. St. Louis immediately tied the game in the bottom of the inning. They scored again in the bottom of the 2nd. Then, for whatever reason, in a perfect situation... Sign in to see full entry.

This Is How The Road To The Super Bowl Is Paved...

Well, if you missed Monday Night Football this week and you're a football fan, I will foreshadow this by saying that tonight's game would have made a true fan of any sport cry -- for joy and heartbreak, for both teams. Tonight was heralded as a rout by analysts and critics alike. The undefeated... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, Terry Said It, So There It Is

Watching the pregame show on Fox, Terry Bradshaw said that, given their tough- as-nails defense and an offense that has proven to be explosive, the Chicago Bears may be the best team in the league. Barring key injuries and if they continue to play at the intensity they are currently playing, there... Sign in to see full entry.

Just A Few Words On The Disgusting Terrell Owens Show/Soap/Melodrama

Dallas has always been a franchise that has attracted hype and controversy, scandal and melodrama. Still, this T.O. soap opera is worse than Passions, and that's saying something. Next week, during the pre-game show, I'd like to hear this: "We would like to interrupt the following presentation of... Sign in to see full entry.

Broncos Beat Baltimore And We're Down To Two Undefeated Teams

Indianapolis came back and beat the hapless Titans yesterday. Chicago crushed Buffalo. And the Broncs just knocked off the Ravens. That leaves Da Bears and the Colts as the only two undefeated teams, one in each conference. And the Cowboys last minute tying touchdown drive was foiled by an end zone... Sign in to see full entry.

At The End Of This Week, We Could Be Looking At Two Undefeated Teams

At this moment, Indianapolis is losing to Tennessee. Tennessee hasn't won a game and, with that Haynesworth incident, they have something to prove. However, don't count Peyton Manning and the Colts out until that final second ticks off the clock. Chicago looks like they're just waltzing along,... Sign in to see full entry.

Volunteers Deserve Top Ten Ranking

Tennessee topped Georgia, albeit in a flurry of late game turnovers-turned-points. Otherwise, it was a grueling offensive up-and-down-the-field game. Beating the Number 10 team puts Tennessee in the position of replacing them at said spot. And I'll repeat something I've maintained from the beginning... Sign in to see full entry.

Hallelujah!! The Yankees Are Going Home For Good

What a wonderful day. The Yankees lost game four against the Detroit Tigers today. Tigers move on. Yankees go home. In this regard, I like the sound of that phrase. Sign in to see full entry.
