Five Inconceivable Moves From The NFL Offseason
Well, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sure enjoying the 2010 NFL offseason. Maybe it’s the lack of a salary cap, maybe Saturn is moving into orbit with some unknown planet, or perhaps Flozell Adams has finally eaten enough fried dough to shake the Earth from its axis – whatever it is, things [...]
Christopher Gasper Wants None Of Your Improvement Talk
If you happened to watch more than five minutes of the New England Patriots last season, then it was fairly easy to see something wasn’t quite right. Whether it was a lack of performance from a certain player (Adalius Thomas is a good bet to mention here), an entire position (the neverending barrel of suck [...]
The Free Agency Spending Spree So Far
Perhaps it’s all that malt liquor I drank back in college, but the NFL offseason has been damn interesting this year, hasn’t it? There’s the confusion over who is a restricted free agent and who isn’t because of the uncapped year in 2010, the normal churning of rosters, the continuing and epic stupidity of the [...]
An Open Letter To Adalius Thomas
Dear Adalius,
I’d like to begin this letter with something that is more than likely an uncommon occurrence for you these days – thanks for your efforts over the past three years. That’s right, thanks. I know that’s a bit unusual considering that you had as many tackles this year – a year in which you [...]
The Pro Bowl Is A Joke, And Other Obviousness
About the only way you’d catch me watching the Pro Bowl from beginning to end would be if, through some strange mishap, I became trapped under a boulder in my living room as I was channel surfing and the TV was stuck on the game with the remote control out of my reach. Even under [...]
Vince Wilfork: Pay That Man His Money
At the end of Rounders, Teddy KGB gets cleaned out and his pitbull loan shark associate Grama is about to rip Mike McD’s face off. In a split second, Teddy goes from being furious at Mike for completely outwitting him to stopping Grama – “He beat me… Straight up… Pay him… Pay that man his [...]
Can We Please Stop Whining About Overtime In The NFL?
During my usual survey of Kerzblogistan this evening, I came across an impassioned plea from Geoff Decker at The Big Lead for the NFL to please do something about their overtime rule. It’s a well-worn argument that I’m sure most everyone has heard, but I can always use some extra typing practice, so I’ll sum [...]
Shedding Some Light On The End Of The Pats Season
Even though my wish came true for the Saints to beat the Vikes and make it to the Super Bowl, I’m not quite ready to think about Petyon Manning being thisclose to being the first quarterback to win a ring with a coach who may or may not being sleeping with his eyes open on [...]
Family Versus Sports
Hi everyone. My name is Todd and I’m a footballaholic.
Hi Todd!
The ultimate beauty of the NFL season is this: unlike hockey, baseball, and basketball, every game is important (unless you root for the Bills, Raiders, or Lions that is). Losing streaks carry an extra burden unlike any other in professional sports. Lose four in a [...]
