Some of the greatest music of the past 50 years or so has been put out under the sponsorship of NFL FIlms — THE premiere myth makers of American culture in our history (IMHO).
And this one is the best — of course:
Love much of Unitas We Stand below:

Floyd | Friday, 23rd of March 2012 at 11:57:20 AM Olympic organizing committees often get derided for being corrupt, politically correct, and craven — and rightly so. They should also get credit where due of course. And this is one of those times:
London Olympic organizers announced plans Friday to remaster “Chariots of Fire,” the 1981 Oscar-winning film that opens with a classic scene [...]

Floyd | Tuesday, 20th of March 2012 at 07:30:30 PM I like Peyton Manning a lot. He’s a man of faith and a great competitor, if not as vocal as Tebow. I also like Tim Tebow a lot. Did he get a raw deal from Denver? How? When you take that much money for season tickets and seat licenses, etc. a team owner HAS [...]

Floyd | Thursday, 8th of March 2012 at 04:31:06 AM Could Major League Baseball be an all Designated Hitter sport within a few years? According to Sports Illustrated‘s Tom Verducci… it could happen within the next 10 years.
Major League Baseball has expanded its pool of postseason teams to 10 — up from four just 19 years ago — and next year will re-align [...]

Floyd | Friday, 24th of February 2012 at 12:59:41 AM I had stacks of these books in the 1970s as a kid… the NFL Punt, Pass, and Kick Library Series — this is representative… and they were great mini-bios and histories of games, etc.

Floyd | Wednesday, 8th of February 2012 at 12:25:40 PM Brick Tamland was found playing golf in Texas the other day. That’s the only explanation for a man who nearly died when he was stabbed with a golf club during a golf course brawl. From The Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
One man was stabbed with a golf club shaft after a brawl broke out when [...]

To ensure domestic tranquility, not to mention Belichick/Brady envy mixed with disdain (please lighten up, Francises!), it’s a “Go, Giants!” kinda day. Still, considering the potential bump to recruiting it’ll do to have Penn State Head Coach Bill O’Brien as Super Bowl Champion Offensive Coordinator on his resume, won’t be too heartbroken if the [...]

Floyd | Saturday, 4th of February 2012 at 01:30:11 PM The Feds have dropped their doping investigation against Lance Armstrong.

I’m of two minds on both the man and the case.
I firmly believe in the presumption of innocence and know that many of his accusers are liars, rent-seekers, or both. He’s also not given a dirty test. How do I know? The [...]

Breaking sports news video. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL highlights and more.
NBCSports Channel had a great two hour townhall meeting hosted by Bob Costas (part of a show called “Costas Tonight”) on the state of the NFL. They talked a [...]

Floyd | Saturday, 28th of January 2012 at 06:54:23 PM The above lithograph, by Theodore Gericault in 1818 is called The Boxers. It depicts the December 1810 fight between English champion Tom Cribb versus freed American slave Tom Molineaux. How well known was it? Both boxers are in the Boxing Hall of Fame and it was well known enough to capture the imagination of [...]

Eric | Thursday, 26th of January 2012 at 03:07:25 PM Relax, ladies, you don't have to squint too hard for the Nike logo.
The facts were always there, folks, and a huge show of appreciation to Phil Knight for distinctly remembering of them. While an adidas man, I am now doing my damnedest to find at least one pair of Nikes which will accommodate [...]

Wankette | Monday, 23rd of January 2012 at 07:52:22 AM Sports Illustrated‘s Joe Posnanski has a little fun with our favorite long-winded referee:
NFL Referee Ed Hochuli’s 57-second explanation of the new NFL overtime rules … in verse.
With the score tied at the end of regulation we will go into overtime
There are special overtime rules in the playoffs

Wankette | Saturday, 21st of January 2012 at 07:30:54 AM Championship games tomorrow; BCS come and gone; March Madness looms…
Yeah, sports are on the brain. And almost as fun (and certainly less nerve-wracking) as rooting for your favorites is rooting AGAINST the ones you scorn, despise, curse, etc.
Without getting nasty! name the sporting ones you love to hate.
5. Yankees: Of course.
4. [...]

Floyd | Sunday, 15th of January 2012 at 09:42:29 AM 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 [...]

Floyd | Saturday, 14th of January 2012 at 11:42:26 AM 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.

Outlaw13 | Friday, 13th of January 2012 at 03:55:31 PM 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 [...]
