Are You Ready For Some Football — Sunday Divisional Playoffs

Both games should be good today… the Giants have a real good shot to beat the Packers if the Pack defense doesn’t show up. I’m rooting for the Texans to bring home the trophy to Houston and somewhat redeem Bud Adams’ sorry ass. Nothing but a Lombardi Trophy will erase the knowledge that Mike [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Divisional Playoffs

Broncos and Patriots play tonight preceded by the 49ers and Saints. Both could be classics or blowouts — but so can every game in the playoffs.

I Believe!

Check this article about Tim Tebow out and if you aren’t bawling like a baby at the end of it, you have no heart.

Who among us is this selfless? Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to [...]

Not So Naughty, Naughty

A few cheesy lines in John Parr’s Tim Tebow-inspired re-make of his #1 hit “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)”? Well, not even “Weird Al” hits a home run every time and nowhere near as many clunky lines as in the movie where it originally appeared. Frikkin’ super-genius compared to Prince’s ode to the Minnesota [...]

End-of-the-Year Hubba/SportsTalk: Mike Greenberg

Because first I loved his voice.  Then I loved his wit.   Then I saw him, live.  Then I just loved him.

Because now two of my favorite sports guys are New York Jets fans (Joe Queenan’s the other), and I admire such dogged devotion in the face of…well, the Jets.

Because Mike & Mike, the morning [...]

Monday Morning Quarterback — Tim Tebow Edition

I normally avoid all things ESPN (not college football or basketball — or Monday Night Football if the Cowboys are playing) like the Plague, but the website Grantland is one exception. Anyway… Bill Barnwell has a good breakdown of Tim Tebow’s outstanding performance against the Steelers yesterday — and a bit of crow eating [...]

Skip Bayless’ Head Will Explode: Wild Card Thread

This is the only time you will ever see me root for the Denver Donks.  (Until the next time they play the Raiders.)  Headline refers to what will happen if Tebow pulls this one out — which is just the cherry on the cake of my weekend.

 

You See, It’s Like This…

ESPN and USA Today are both reporting (which means ESPN probably stole the story from some local blog) that Penn State has hired New England patriots Offensive Coordinator Bill O’Brien as its next head football coach. Nittany Lions nation is apparently up in arms that someone without ties to PSU was hired.

Bill O’Brien [...]

End-of-the-Year Hubba/Sports: Jason Babin

Because I heard him talk after the Philadelphia Eagles won on Monday Night (Sunday night?) (eh, they’d won) and thought first: Hubbahubba! and second: Wow, he’s interesting! and third: Hubbahubba!

Because while avoiding any 30-second-postgame-interview platitudes, he managed to completely charm & utterly impress.  Probably because he avoided any 30-second-postgame-interview platitudes.

Because before he was an [...]

Are You Ready for Some Football — College/Bowl Edition

Ahhhh, January 1st: meaningful bowl game after semi-meaningful bowl game after semi-mean– Wait, what? It’s January 2nd? Two 6-6 teams playing in the Gator Bowl? A 9-3 team in a seventh-tier game, against a team one game from winning its conference? The game to decide the #1 team isn’t for another week? Oh, well, [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Pro Edition

Emmitt Smith gained over 220 yards from scrimmage and beat the New York Giants single handedly (almost literally) with a dislocated shoulder in 1993 to clinch the NFC East. I don’t know if Tony Romo’s bruised hand is as painful, but the Cowboys could sure use another gutsy performance tonight from Tony Romo (and [...]

Insightful Football Commentary From China

Actually this is more spot on than anything you will hear from Fox, NBC or ESPN. Especially the part about the Cowboys not succeeding until Jerry Jones dies.

Are You Ready For Some Football — Christmas Eve Pro Edition

I’m on the road to Texas today so rest assured I’m yelling at the kids to “shut the f*&k up!!” “please refrain from conversing.” while this game is going on so I can hear Brad Sham call a game like nobody’s business. DeMarcus Ware has to sack up on Michael Vick today. Talk about [...]

Way To Go Texans!

Video: Finally home

Marine Scott Wood died four weeks ago after suffering injuries during combat in Iraq. Before his burial, his wife dressed him in two uniforms. On the outside, Scott wore his military dress blues. Underneath, he wore the blue No. 80 jersey of Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson.

Sara Wood had been [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Pro Edition

My ‘Boys took care of business last night… I’ll admit… I’m looking forward to Patriots-Broncos… besides his faith I want Tebow to succeed if for no other reason than he makes the experts look like asses… and that’s something all Americans should celebrate. Talk about your teams and games below!

Are You Ready For Some Football — Pro Edition

I know Tony Romo is going to screw this up… and yet my hopes are up. Who can explain the inexplicable? Damn. Talk about the day in pro football below.

Down, never out

No denying Coach Paterno’s legacy took a deserved recent tarnish due to his inaction re. Jerry “How Ya Liking Jail Now?” Sandusky’s sickening behavior, but a recent ranking of Penn State football’s academic excellence a nice heads-up for those who don’t know what we who proudly wear the blue and white have known for [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Pro Edition

I’m actually looking forward to the Steelers/Bengals game. Who knew? The Giants are the last best hope perhaps to defeat the Packers, but I don’t care about that… as a Cowboys fan I want a Giants crushing defeat. You have your orders Rodgers… now get to it. Talk about your teams and games below.

Are You Ready For Some Football — College Edition

It’s a pretty good weekend for college football given that it’s December. Georgia is the last best hope to screw up the BCS by beating LSU. Geaux Dawgs! Oklahoma and Oklahoma State also promises to be good though I imagine OK State would have to put an epic beatdown on OU to leapfrog Alabama [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Pro Edition

In going 4-1 this season, Tim Tebow is responsible for 280 minutes of the most damning football ever seen in the pros… but his 20 minutes of the damndest football seen in awhile is what makes the Broncos-Chargers game compelling this afternoon. Phillip Rivers better get his prayer on or just make sure he’s [...]
