Once Again, Philadelphia Fans Do Their Part To Keep Their Reputation for Upstanding Citizenry Intact
And then there's the other Philadelphia sports team. No, it wasn't all mirth and merriment in the 215 sports community this weekend after the Eagles surprisingly dropped a home game to the Redskins. All that talk about the Birds being the class of the NFC East this season has quieted down, now that ...
College Football Roundup: Chase Daniel and Warren Buffett Are Boyzzz
The most shocking image of the college football weekend occurred in the second half of Missouri-Nebraska. And it had nothing to do with the fact that Missouri hung 52 on Nebraska before the third quarter ended. It was finding out that Missouri’s chubby and short quarterback who will win the Heisman...
It's Very Hard To Be A Texans Fan Right Now
The good thing about being a quarterback in Houston is that there is virtually nothing you can do that will be bad enough to equal the worst collapse your fans have ever seen. That would have been in the 1993 playoffs, when the Bills came back from 32 points down in the second half to beat the Houst...
The Sunday Evening NFL Roundup
Those clever Dolphins with their misdirection. I know if I stare long enough Ronnie Brown is going to pop out of nowhere and run my ass into the ground. Brown rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown while Chad Pennington continued to excel at keeping the ball from hitting the ground (75.8% passing). A...
NFL Update: Back-up Quarterbacks Get Their Shot
It was an eventful day for back-up quarterbacks as Matt Hasselbeck, Eli Manning, Damon Huard and Jon Kitna were all pulled in today's games. Manning was rested from the Seahawks-Giants game due to the fact that the score was humiliating Seattle. Hasselbeck was pulled when it was clear there was no s...
NFL Update: Tony Gonzalez Breaks TE Record
As we head into the second half of the early games, we have a broken record to report. Chiefs' Tony Gonzalez has broken the NFL's career record for yards receiving by a tight end. The record, previously held by Shannon Sharpe, stood at 10,060 yards before today's game. DeAngelo Williams has 102 rush...
NFL Update: The Giants Are Dominating
The day's games are off to a good start, unless you're a Redskins fan. I've been instructed by Kogod to tell you that the Redskins were screwed on a bad block in the back that should have been a flag. I'm going to be listening to this all day, so feel for me. So far, the asskicking of the day belong...
Aaron Rodgers, Retired Jerseys, and Chris Henry
Welcome to NFL day folks. It's a glorious day, despite the rain spreading across the country. This, my friends, is what it's all about. The Seahawks take a trip to see the Giants after some horrible comments by Seattle fans a week ago. That should make a bad situation worse for the Seahawks. The NFC...
Pryor and Beanie Get It Done
It was a close one, but Terrelle Pryor's last minute touchdown run was just what was needed to put Ohio State over the top in last night's 20-17 win over Wisconsin. Beanie Wells' looked to be in great form as well with 168 yards rushing and a touchdown of his own. If Pryor and Wells can stay healthy...
College Football Brings The Heat Tonight
And so closes another day here at Deadpsin. There are three college match-ups as well as MLB Playoffs, some boxing and MMA to round out your evening. For those of you sticking with the college offerings, here are some game notes: • No. 14 Ohio State at No. 18 Wisconsin, 8pm ET on ABC (Regional): I d...
Hugh Johnson Heads to Tuscaloosa
Listen young lady, I don't know how they do things down in Lexington, but we at the Hugh Johnson Project don't really "do" dick jokes. What's that you say? It is just one big dick joke? Well alright then, please gather up some like-minded friends and join us after the jump....
Spartan Football Gets Hugh Excited
Michigan State is looking to move to 2-0 in the Big Ten, and they're looking good while doing it. The Spartans are holding off the Iowa Hawkeyes by a score of 16-13 in the fourth quarter. BC and NC State have slowed down a bit, and the Eagles lead 28-17 on the strength of Chris Crane's 319 yards th...
Uncorking The Hugh Johnson Project
Another weekend of college football has begun, but for once we'll have to make due without the play-by-play brilliance of Pam Ward. Everyone's favorite Hugh Johnson punching bag is off covering the WNBA Finals so this week you'll have to settle for her substitute saying the most ridiculous things i...
Trash Talk, Viral Outbreaks, and Gameday at Vandy
With the trash talking already underway, today is shaping up to be a exciting entertaining crappy day of college football. Take your survival guide if you're headed out to the Ohio State/Wisconsin game. Cancellation of the day is Georgetown at Colgate. A norovirus outbreak at Georgetown has forced t...
Stanford Lineman Does Not Like Notre Dame
About the only thing that would make Saturday's Stanford-Notre Dame football game actually compelling is if Charlie Weis and the Stanford Tree fought at midfield with rakes and blowtorches. But knowing that would never happen (the Tree is usually soaked with alcohol and cannot be near open flame), C...
Mike Sellers and Chris Samuels Forge a Friendship Through Nude Hijinx
Sometimes I really envy Dan Steinberg. As one of the few sports bloggers in the country with real-deal locker room access, Steinberg takes us to places those of us trapped in underwear-covered cellars can only dream about . He gets to show-off his deft reporter's instincts and tenacity, but still wr...
College Football Preview: Y'all Better Recognize Joe Pa Wants His Daps, Yo
The eyes of the college football world shift to Nashville, Tennessee this weekend where the mighty Vanderbilt Commodores will be hosting Auburn. This is a huge game for Vandy. The last time they beat Auburn was 1955, the same year that Rosa Parks instituted her bus boycott in Montgomery. Yep, black ...
Warren Sapp Weighs In On Al Davis
Warren Sapp isn't quite the Charles Barkley of NFL broadcasting, but he may get there yet, as long as the Al Davis stories hold out. Sapp, a regular on Showtime's Inside the NFL, played for the Raiders for four seasons, and with his insights on Davis and the way things were run, he can finally put h...
Thursday Night Football Previews: Pitt at South Florida; Oregon State at Utah
Thursday night college football arrives with a televised double-header. ESPN brings us Pittsburgh at South Florida and something called the Versus Network brings us Oregon State at Utah. Like me you have no idea if you have actually have Versus and if demanded on pain of death to give ten guesses a...
Ocho Cinco: Excuse Me, While I Kiss This Star
You've got to give props to Chad Formerly-Johnson, whose talents as a receiver are almost equal to his marketing acumen. Managing once again to somehow keep an 0-4 team in the spotlight, he vowed on Wednesday to score a touchdown and kiss the Dallas star when the Bengals play in Irving on Sunday. Bu...
