Whoa — what happened? Last thing I remember, I was writing a post about Ron Artest. Or maybe it was that hot race car driving chick . Then all of the sudden I blacked out for a month or two. Man, feel like that dude with the beard. Uh, what’s his name? Rumplemintz? You know who am talking about? I think he was in a coma or something. Probably drug related, I figure. Anyway, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while, but my agent, Scott Bored Ass,...
I can’t remember the last time seven NFL teams started out 3-0. Maybe never. I suppose I could check, but then why. My point is, it’s interesting. In fact, only one division — the NFC West — does not have an undefeated team at the top. And that’s just weird. So there’s some disparity in the divisions right now, with several heavies sporting perfection. For now, anyway. That will change next week. But for the time being, here are my rankings for the unbeaten,...
I’m gonna go out on a limb here. No, actually — it’s not a limb. In fact – here, I’ll just say it: Peyton Manning is the best quarterback ever. Period. ‘Nuf said. Yeah, I know — it always seems like the current players are the best. And, yeah, let’s not forget the greats:. To name a few: Namath, Bradshaw, Unitas, Marino. I know about all those guys. I do. And they were all great. Led their teams to victories — Super Bowls even. But...
Injuries are killing me, literally. Donavan McNabb, Matt Cassel, LaDainian Tomlinson, all sidelined this week on my fantasy football squad, which begs the question: why did I give in and play this season? But all those injuries are just the tip of the neck-pain iceberg this week, considering I was rear ended at a stoplight on the way to work Thursday: hit so hard it rammed my sick-ass 1997 Nissan Sentra into the back of the 2009 Mustang in front of me. Total damage...
Some times I can be such a woman. Like, remember that time I wrote about how unbent visors annoy me? What the hell was that all about? And then that time I wrote about stirrups? I’m a PC kinda guy and all, but back when I was in school, any guy writing about socks would clearly be called g-a-y. And in southern Indiana, that wasn’t exactly a hip thing. But get this — it doesn’t stop there. I also wrote about guys in baseball...
So I was watching the Bears-Packers game last night when Al and Chris started talking about how Brian Urlacher was finally completely healthy this year. And as soon as they said it, I was like: “He’s gonna get hurt.” Not that I thought they put the hex on him or anything. I just figured a guy who gets hurt as much as Urlacher is bound to get hurt again. Sure enough, Urlacher didn’t play the next half. And today we learn that he’s out...
Okay, this post is for football fans in St. Louis. Of course, I say St. Louis, but it could also be for football fans in Baltimore. Or Cleveland. Or Houston. Anyway, St. Louis fans — I have a question for you: When your team moved to Phoenix, did you continue to root for the Cardinals? I mean, it was the same team you rooted for the year before, right? Same players, same red birds on the helment, same under .500 record. They just played in...
So get this: The last time I played Fantasy Football? We didn’t even use computers. Not because we were trying to be all retro or anything. No. Most of us just didn’t have computers. Or we didn’t have the Internet. My first pick in the 1992 Fantasy draft was pretty bold. I went with University of Michigan star Desmond Howard. I figured, you know, Howard was a pretty good receiver, right? And he was drafted by the Super Bowl-winning Redskins, led by Mark Rypien,...
With a 2-year-old taking up most of my time on the weekends, and another one on the way, I’m seriously considering retiring from fantasy football this year. Then again, I could just pull a Brett “Flip-Flop” Favre and find myself starring in one of the three fantasy drafts my friends are talking me into this weekend. But, after struggling to find a running game, or a passing game for that matter, the past couple of years, I don’t know if I have Favre’s kinda...
I’m not a big NFL guy, but there are certain things about “The League” that get me fired up from time to time. Like the Dallas Cowboys being “America’s team.” Or idiots in “the media” guaranteeing the Philadelphia Eagles won’t make the playoffs when all they have to do is win ONE game: at home nonetheless. This just in: home teams win a majority of their games in the NFL. Oh yeah, and the idiotic fans in Philly who don’t want Donovan McNabb as...
