Welcome To The NFL, Matty
Because everyone we talk to in St. Louis says it's been raining all day and is likely to rain all night, so we are less than optimistic that we'll see the NLCS Game 5 tonight. Therefore, we must receive our sporting fix tonight from Monday Night Football, or, as we like to call it, "Tony Kornheiser ...
Back To You In The Booth, Lamar
So it may not come as a surprise to anyone that more suspensions have come down following the steel cage match between the University of Miami and Florida International football teams on Saturday. A total of 31 players have been dinged — and must sit out their respective games this weekend — 18 from...
NFL Roundup: Payton's Saints Run
News and notes from Week 6 in the NFL ......
NFL Week Six, Update #4
• NY Jets 20, Miami 10. There's really nothing left to be decided today, though I suppose Miami could pull off a comeback. But if they do, I probably couldn't even pretend to care. Chris Chambers just caught a touchdown pass to cut the lead to 10 in the fourth quarter, but I think it's asking a litt...
NFL Week Six, Update #3
• Jets 3, Dolphins 0. The NFL should step in and stop this game at halftime. It is a black mark on the entire league, their image, and their commitment to provide their fans with a quality product. Joey Harrington is 7-of-13 for 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Chad Pennington has a total of 56 yar...
NFL Week Six, Update #2
• New Orleans 27, Philadelphia 24. The Eagles came out in the second half and just bumrushed the Eagles, but the Saints got a John Carney field goal with :03 on the clock for the win. Say what you want about the Eagles, but... without them, this season would've been a lot less interesting....
NFL Week Six, Update #1
• St. Louis 21, Seattle 7. In St. Louis, it's been all about Torry Holt, and Marc Bulger, perhaps the least-physically-threatening non-kicker in the National Football League. Holt already has six catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns, and Bulger has over 200 yards, and 2 TDs....
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Miami Gets Back To Basics
Miami (FL) 35, Florida International 0. There aren't many things that would be able to knock that excellent Auburn/Florida game out of the top spot here, but... a bench-clearing brawl in which thirteen players are ejected is one of them. Eight FIU Golden Panthers and five Miami Hurricanes were sent ...
Week 6 NFL Preview: Attempts To Climb The Mountain
Philadelphia @ New Orleans. This game's sort of similar to the Seattle/St. Louis game, actually, except they aren't division rivals. But it's a young team that wasn't supposed to be this good, looking to jump and bite one of the established teams in the conference. They catch Philadelphia right af...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
Linebacker J Leman for the Illini has a dad named Happy who is a preacher. For lunch, J eats coconut lard, and throughout the day, J eats about two dozen raw eggs. His name is the letter J. Should be a good game tonight. - Adam Duritz...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
Adrian Peterson is out for the year after breaking his collarbone in the first game his father has watched in 9 yrs since his release from prison. - beisbolct...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
Penn up on Columbia, 3-0. Be right back. Have to go let my boys over at Starbucks know. - German Village Media...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 1
I should probably just go ahead and apologize to Pam Ward right now......
It's The Vikings' Bye Week!
Not sure if you noticed or not, but the Minnesota Vikings have a bye this week. And we all know what that means!...
Ethan Albright Is In Fact Able To Walk Upright
As Madden 07 obsessives know, Washington Redskins lineman and ginger kid Ethan Albright is the lowest-rated player in the game, with a rating that barely gives him enough aptitude to stand up and walk in something resembling a straight line. We have wondered if Albright knows about this, or cares, a...
Some Fans Are, Well, "Special"
Sure, you might, on the surface, think that the University of Tennessee calling a boisterous fan at home and asking her to shut the hell up is over the top, rude and all together unacceptable. But, then again, you haven't actually heard her....
The Buccaneers Want To Kill Carson Palmer (With Howie Mandel!)
Proving once again that no one is funnier than those who work for the official Web sites of professional football teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in preparation for their game Sunday against quarterback Carson Palmer and the Cincinnati Bengals, have put together a little flash intro to their home...
Stalking Lloyd Carr
We are no experts in the field of stalking — really! — but as far as potential stalking targets go, we're not sure we'd include Michigan coach Lloyd Carr as a particularly targetable vessel for rage and frustration. Well, at least not this year....
Death Is Not An Option!
In a finding that should surprise no one who has every watched a sporting event, the American College of Emergency Physicians — every single organization in the country has a name that sounds fake, by the way — have discovered that male visits to the emergency room tend to increase directly after ...
A Couple Of Expensive Six Packs
We are aware that it's very possible there's much more to come out about the story than has been released, but, taken at face value, the Connecticut football team is awfully strict about player discipline....
