Audity

I will take this one opportunity to applaud a Philadelphia Eagle. Eagles offensive lineman Evan Mathis posted this photo on Instagram. And when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell tweeted about it Mathis retweeted…

@nflcommish I’m offended by the actions of Philadelphia Eagle player Evan Mathis peeing on the IRS sign in front of the IRS [...]

Tell it like it is

Comedian Thierrion Kagan, laying the smack-down on Bob Costas. Oh, how the once mighty, even those of the 5-foot-nothin’ variety, have fallen in my eyes. Be sure to check out the rest of Thierrion’s column.

After Costas recapped the events in Kansas City, he haughtily scolded those who need tragedies like this to keep [...]

R.I.P. — Steve Van Buren

As a Dallas Cowboys fan in good standing I dislike all things Philadelphia Eagles… two major exceptions to that are Chuck Bednarik and Steve Van Buren. As a kid in the 1970s I devoured the NFL’s Junior Library books with titles like “Greatest Games”, “NFL’s Greatest Quarterback”, etc. I learned a lot of names [...]

Is Football Wrong?

Dick "Night Train" Lane makes one of the scores of tackles that helped put him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

New York Magazine asks the above question. My answer? “No”. Next question. But I am nothing if not educable:

One of the most quoted routines of the late George Carlin was his [...]

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 [...]

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.

You Can’t Spell Class Without Ass…

The Dallas Morning News today re-printed a column written by some Cretin at the Philadelphia Inquirer named Frank Fitzpatrick…

People often ask me why I dislike the Cowboys so. As Elizabeth Barrett Browning, a Dallas cheerleader until pantaloons above the ankle prompted her resignation, once wrote, let me count the ways:

Tom Landry’s hat. [...]

Roger Goodell Makes His Case

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell makes the owners’ case in the Wall Street Journal:

In an environment where they are essentially independent contractors, many players would likely lose significant benefits and other protections previously provided on a collective basis as part of the union-negotiated collective-bargaining agreement. And the prospect of improved benefits for retired players [...]

Radio Free Threedonia — 1/30/2011 (updated)

Great show today, folks, so even if you felt the need to watch the most popular best NFL stars not in Steelers or Packers jerseys instead of listening live to the best (slightly under) two hours of entertainment on the interwebs, you can still click right here to catch it all.

Artist and liberal skewer-er [...]

Radio Free Threedonia — 1/9/11 (now with actual link to show)

Featuring music from Unknown Hinson (the feller above), Daniel, a pneumonia-recovering Kender and Eric were all around the cyber-dial today, in the first hour touching on the Rep. Giffords tragedy in Tucson, notably the mainstream media’s absolute lack of responsibility in pointing motivational fingers with little to no evidence to support their narratives. Yes [...]

Sunday Open Thread

Probably the greatest run in NFL playoff history… unbelievable…

Wussy Galore

Above is Steve Van Buren, Eagles HOF running back scoring the only touchdown in 7-0 victory over the Chicago Cardinals in the 1948 NFL Championship Game in Shibe Park, Philadelphia. Last night’s Philadelphia Eagles v. Minnesota Vikings games was postponed by the NFL to Tuesday because of blizzard-like conditions. 11 inches! I doubt the [...]

Top 100 NFL Players

NFL Network is counting down the Top 100 players of all time — 10 at a time on Thursdays at 9 PM ET. I am a sucker for these lists — for no other reason than it’s a great experience talking football. This one seems legit too and avoids coastal bias. Proof? Joe Namath is [...]

The other Punxsutawney P

Wonder if this is good or bad for John Nolte’s Tru(e) Crime fixes…

Tom Brookshier — R.I.P.

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 Vern Lundquist [...]

Who’s Anti Trust?

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 Post:

[...]

The NFL gets something right

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.

Oh Please Oh Please Oh Please!

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 [...]

Quiz Time!

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 [...]
