Every year it seems like there’s a weekend in the NFL that season that takes all of the conventional wisdowm, assumptions, and preconceived notions that fans and media have about the league, and takes a great big piss all over them.

Detroit vs. NYJ
Why does this thoroughly unintriguing game get first billing? Because we like the picture, and because it has major fantasy implications for us this weekend, when we have several regular starters out on byes. We’re looking for this one to be a high scoring affair. We like the Lions in [read more]
Denny Green Gets Pissy After The Cards Wet Themselves

We knew there’d be some fallout from the Bears ridiculously improbable 24-23 comeback victory over the Cards on Monday Night. We knew there’d be the predictable gnashing of teeth in the Chicago over Rex Grossman’s god-awful performance. We figured there’d be cliches about ‘teams of destiny’ finding ways to win (hint: teams of [read more]

The Superdome in New Orleans conjures up a lot of distressing memories for Americans. While I would never minimize the horrors of what took place there in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, as a Philadelphia Eagles fan the building represents one of the worst days in a lifetime of miserable days.
In January 1981, the [read more]
Is the NFL Entering a New Era of Suckitude?

We have a very short commute to work. Walkable, in fact. When we’re too lazy to walk, which is about four days a week, we often find ourselves getting caught listening to the Herd on ESPN Radio in the car for a few minutes. This morning, we listened as Colin Cowherd ranted [read more]

Losing on a 61-yard field goal to a team as pathetic as the fucking Tampa Bucs would kill me if I thought the Eagles were a Super Bowl contending team, but the fact is that this year’s version of the Birds is like so many before it: mediocre.
People always remind me of the three straight [read more]

Let’s re-cap the last 24 hours in the desert: The Cardinals jump out to a quick 14-0 lead over the lifeless Bears. Rex Grossman does his best Kurt Warner impersonation, turns the ball over 4 times in the first half, and the Bears find themselves down 20-o at halftime. As the 3rd quarter [read more]

Week 6 Preview: Somewhere The Boz Is Smiling
Date: October 13th, 2006 | No Comments
A quick aside before we get to this week’s predictions: wtf on the mohawk/faux hawk making a comeback in th NFL? We figured that this was just another Chad Johnson attention deficit thing in the pre-season, but it seems to have really taken hold. Shawne Merriman jumped on the bandwagon as well, [read more]
Parcells Stinkpalms TO
Date: October 10th, 2006 | No Comments
A friend just sent us this little nugget of wisdom about the TO vs. Philly game, which, apparently is still a top news story:
According to those close to Cowboys players, Bill Parcells was hell-bent on ensuring Terrell Owens wasn’t the star on Sunday. Although it’s no secret Parcells is partial to wideout Terry Glenn — [read more]
