Peter King Is Quite Mad, You Know
In case you weren't aware, the biggest rivalry in sports is not the Red Sox-Yankees. It's the Patriots vs. the Colts! A rivalry as old as sports itself! First fought with leather helmets when players had part-time jobs as dock workers! So says Peter King, and if he writes it, it must be true....
Seriously, They Still Use The Term "Gunslinger"
Leave it to Monday Night Football to take a vintage Brett Favre moment, his overtime game-winning touchdown over the Broncos last night, and turn it into yet another exercise in overpromotion....

The World's Most Dangerous Hall Monitor
It must be frustrating to have once played in the NFL, making millions of dollars, and now being forced to work as a Dallas hall monitor just so you can maybe have a tiny shot at coaching someday. Lots of investment with little potential payoff. But you never know. But the one thing you can't do, wh...
Sorry: You Just Can't Do This
A tip for all you kids out there still undecided about your Halloween costume: Just because Michael Vick is going to jail doesn't mean you can dress up in blackface....
A Look At Steve Nash
We're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alph...

One More Time To Kill the Pain
Well here we are, staring at what's likely to be the final game of the 2007 Major League Baseball season. If Leitch were here he'd probably be inconsolable, but I think I'm handling it just fine. After the marathon regular season the post season has been unremarkable at best. I'm ready for next year...
OK, Peyton Can Keep His Job
Damn, just when you write off Peyton Manning as a fluke he comes back to life! Since we last checked in he's added a pair of touchdown passes (Wayne and Addai) and the Colts have pulled away from the first place Panthers. Wait...Carolina's in first place? I don't think I want to live in such a world...
Our Big Ben Can't Tell Time Or Hold His Liquor, But He Can Throw
In Cincinnati the quarterbacks have been all but perfect. Caron Palmer has gone 14-16 for 114 yards but the Bengals have seen two drives stall out forcing them to settle for a pair of field goals. Conversely Ben Roethlisberger is 10-12 for 136 yards with two satisfying touchdowns. Willie Parker has ...
Undefeated Teams Remain Undefeated

Shawne Merriman: Virtual Asskicker
Shawne Merriman is another one of those athletes with a presence in the vast world of gaming. Apparently he's got some game in development, but frankly I don't speak gamer all that well. Fortunately the interview primarily focuses on the bone-crushing (sorry Priest) linebacker himself, and it's pepp...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
Can we give announcing team props on HJP? If so, props to Andre Ware for an apt comparison between the pass down the sidelines to set up the last second field goal in the MSU-Iowa game and the Texans-Titans game. -Chilltown (ed. note: I like to give Bonnie props whenever possible)...
