Merlin Olsen (74) and Deacon Jones rush Johnny Unitas Merlin Olsen, NFL Hall of Fame defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams’ Fearsome Foursome, actor in the 1970s on Little House on the Prairie and Father Murphy, and football color commentator with Dick Enberg has died at age 69 of cancer. I liked Olsen a lot… [...] I have been amused and sickened by the latest campaign of N.O.W. (Nat’l Organization of Weenie-haters) to smear Focus on the Family — the sponsor of the infamous Pam/Tim Tebow ad — you know the one that argues that having a child is a good thing — so he can then abuse you. Now [...] I wondered how long into Monday’s post-Super Bowl coverage it would take for the “Manning choked” meme to spread, and it didn’t take long. On ESPN this afternoon was a full-bore segment on “Manning’s legacy.” Given Manning possibly has five years left in his career – at the least – it may be early to [...] *** Can’t guarantee I’ll be here the entire game — especially if it starts to suck, but feel free to comment on ads, game, half-time, Katrina mentions… Share on Facebook Here is that outrageous and woman-hating anti-choice Tim Tebow ad that those homophobic zombie-worshiping Christianists aired in the Super Bowl pre-game. Stay tuned during the game for more woman-hating propaganda. Watch it — if you can. /snark off/ Anyone who sees anything sinister in this ad needs some serious spiritual help. You [...] …to get a set of pom-poms? From the Seattle Times Weekly: Benjamin Grundy is a student at Garfield-Palouse High School (local population: 1,100) who says the school is discriminating against his wishes to do what all the other cheerleaders are doing. Namely, dance, wave pom-poms, wear a proper uniform and not just stand like there like a [...] Building a Super Bowl team takes a lot of preparation. The Wall Street Journal published this study on the man hours spent yearly by an NFL franchise – the numbers are stunning. According to an operational study of National Football League teams prepared for The Wall Street Journal by Boston Consulting Group, the typical [...] comes this from CDR Salamander. Saints fullback Kyle Eckel used to be a Midshipman at the Naval Academy. Greg Doyle wants to know why Mister Eckel isn’t serving alongside his brothers. Good question. If you came here looking for answers, you’re out of luck. I have no answers. Not when the topic is New Orleans [...] Wonder if this is good or bad for John Nolte’s Tru(e) Crime fixes… Share on Facebook Tom Brookshier, former Philadelphia Eagles DB and CBS football broadcaster died last Friday of cancer at age 78. Before it was John Madden-Pat Summerall it was Tom Brookshier and Pat Summerall through Super Bowl XIV. Another part of childhood in the 1970s passes with Mr. Brookshier. Saturdays belonged to Keith Jackson and [...] Share on Facebook I confess to having no dog in this hunt. In fact, all due respect, I’d be okay with all four of ‘em losing. But I am very fond of love adore light a small candle & chant to a picture of his dad, so he wins the money shot. Bring on March Madness. In the meantime, chat away.
Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961) I’ll be watching the NFL conference championships — it’s what I do, but I’ll be DVR’ing this for [...] Despite beyond jaw-droppingly electrifying Super Bowl and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performances last decade, Prince seems to have fallen back to earth, real hard, with his latest project, a fight song for the Minnesota Vikings. Not only has James Brown’s heir to the King of Funk produced a tune that wouldn’t have even [...] This song sums up today’s Cowboys-Vikings game. In any case… there’s nothing to say but to tip my hat especially to the Vikings defense. The game would’ve been a lot closer if not for the Vikes D. Share on Facebook OK, we still had some sound glitches, but we indeed ran a full 120 minutes with no major stalls or even a few minutes of silence. In our first interview-less show in God knows how long, and ably produced and piloted by Young Gun Conservative’s Kender “Patriot Missile” MacGowan, Rich, Floyd and I, along with [...] Share on Facebook Is the NFL a single entity or a collection of 32 individual entities that can act separately? That basic question comes up before the U.S. Supreme Court this week. The case, NFL v. American Needle, comes up for argument this week and New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees weighs in at The Washington [...] That’s how Dan Wetzel, one of America’s finest sports columnists, described the actions hidden in the Texas Longhorns locker room last night, as the team’s title hopes spiraled away. Colt McCoy, knocked from the game in his first series, lied to his trainers and tried to get back into the game by throwing balls to [...] Share on Facebook As a former defensive lineman I loves me some defense and great hits, but I also appreciate a good stiff arm by runners. This stiff arm from today’s Ravens-Raiders game by Willis McGahee is a fine example. Share on Facebook Trading one Touchdown Jesus for another So Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly skips town to Notre Dame – a move deemed inevitable since names like Bob Stoops and Urban Meyer declared no interest in the job. Kelly is the hottest of the hot and young coaches in college football, and hiring is as much a beauty [...] 1. As much as I’m a fan of Cincinnati’s underdog run, a team with a physical defense would probably hang 30 on them. Ohio State fans get agitated at the comparisons, but given the difference in skill level, a game against Ohio State – on paper – would be a slaughter. That said, it isn’t [...] While I suppose we could have seen the choice of The Who as the 2010 Super Bowl halftime entertainment coming for miles and miles and miles, can’t help but think the Foo Fighters, probably the most popular (and across the board accessible) rock band of the next generation, can’t be too far down the producers’ [...] From IOWAHAWK Green Bay, WI – Like a pot of bratwurst left unattended at a Lambeau Field pregame party, simmering tensions in the strife-torn Midwest boiled over once again today as rioting mobs of green-and-gold clad youth and plump farm wives rampaged through Wisconsin Denny’s and IHOPs, burning Texas toast and demanding apologies and extra half-and-half. The [...]
Finally a game for manly men! Yes I am the “healthcare guy” but damn it all I love football and am reasonably sure I’ve been playing it since I was a zygote, as such I know a thing or 12 about it and have decided we need a football column. So [...] First off, happy Veterans Day to everyone – especially our own Outlaw. Glad to see the media behind the holiday this year, especially ESPN of all places. One wonders where this support was during the Bush years, but better late than never. Here are some nuggets Tzupek-style. I’m currently sitting on three possible DVD reviews, hopefully [...] Is it just me or does Jake Gyllenhaal look like juiced up Charlie Sheen spoofing Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo character in Hot Shots Part Deux? They showed this tonight before the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game (Cowboys 20-16!). You know — maybe if this was his first film after October Sky, but between his Rendition whininess and [...] Very cool feature from today’s Fox Football Pregame, and not just saying that because my cousin appears at the 47-second mark. More greatness from Howie, Terry and the guys at the site, too, as they broadcast from Afghanistan in honor of Veterans Day. Share on Facebook Who knew the Buccaneers would have to break out Buccaneer Bruth to win their first game in nearly a year? The Packers were Bruth’s favorite opponent. There’s still time for the Bucs to lose though… Share on Facebook Happy Halloween Lil’ Wayne! err… Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader dressed up as Lil Wayne! I can’t tell if that’s blackface or if that what she looks like after she stepped into the shit storm she’s embroiled in. For the record — I think it’s a GREAT costume — high-larious and Blacks can unclench. I [...] Al Sharpton is threatening to sue Rush Limbaugh for defamation. Rush wrote this about Sharpton in an op-ed outlining his mistreatment by the NFL and Al Sharpton in his bid to own part of the St. Louis Rams: In 1998 Mr. Sharpton was found guilty of defamation and ordered to pay $65,000 for falsely accusing [...] In the the Wall Street Journal: As I explained on my radio show, this spectacle is bigger than I am on several levels. There is a contempt in the news business, including the sportswriter community, for conservatives that reflects the blind hatred espoused by Messrs. Sharpton and Jackson. “Racism” is too often their sledgehammer. And it [...]
ESPN had some fun updating NFL team logos to reflect the current season. You can see more here, http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=snibbe1/091006&sportCat=nfl Share on Facebook The NFL had no problems with black players at its inception. Fritz Pollard not only played in the NFL, he coached – and played quarterback. Then in a strange decision comparable with marking a giant letter R on their foreheads, the league decided to segregate itself in a rather cynical marketing move. For over a [...] Not that I’m encouraging anything – but a prediction. Conservatives are going to make a run to the phone and go after the NFL and NBC for employing Keith Olbermann. Granted, Olbermann defended Limbaugh’s right to buy a stake in a team, but Olbermann is just as divisive as Limbaugh (just divisive to the right [...] And again, those layers and layers of fact-checkers fail. Ed Driscoll has the goods on the smear quotes attributed to Rush Limbaugh in an effort to taint his bid to become an NFL owner. One wonders if Michael Wilbon, Jayson Whitlock or the innumerable talking heads of sports will offer mea culpas or just feign [...] Can anyone tell me the political beliefs of ANY of the NFL owners — including the views of multiple members of the various ownership groups? Beyond that when have the personal political views of ANY potential owner of a professional sports franchise of any professional sport been a litmus test for ownership??? Don’t [...] Share on Facebook Sadly, Iraq War vet Tony Fein never got to live out his post-service dreams. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Fein played quarterback for South Kitsap High School before graduating in 2000. At age 19 he enlisted in the Army and spent 2 1/2 years in Iraq as a 19 Delta reconnaissance scout. Share on Facebook Sorry, Floyd and Outlaw, first pic goes to someone representing dem dere Stillers, n’at! I will find the pic of Terrell Owens as a Niner defacing the Cowboys' mid-field star if need be…
