The Weekend Hangover: New Jersey Brown Bagger Edition

The Weekly Hangover is a gathering place for all the miscellaneous news, blog posts, and articles that were interesting and sports related, but yet not quite enough so for me to bother clambering down into my mother’s basement to write about. Served with a heaping helping of [...]

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 [...]

The Weekend Hangover: Clearing Out Two Weeks Of Links Edition

The Weekly Hangover is a gathering place for all the miscellaneous news, blog posts, and articles that were interesting and sports related, but yet not quite enough so for me to bother clambering down into my mother’s basement to write about. Served with a heaping helping of sarcasm, market price. This [...]

Obituary Section: Peyton Manning’s New Image

Peyton Manning’s new image as a clutch performer and likable guy passed away Sunday evening after a brief, but ultimately futile, battle with the forces of nature. It was three years old.
Since entering professional football as the top pick of the NFL Draft in 1998, Manning was seen as the heir apparent to Hall of [...]

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 [...]

We Won’t Get Fooled Again

Let’s be clear about this thing… Although I wanted the New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl, there was no way it seemed possible. Nothing personal against Drew Brees, Sean Payton, any of their teammates, Who Dat Nation, Dr. John, or anyone else from NOLA you can mention – it just didn’t seem like [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Championship Weekend Just Made Me Throw Up In My Mouth

The playoffs only become a hollow and cold place once your favorite team is knocked out (unless you root for the Buffalo Bills, then your entire existence is hollow and cold). There’s been an interesting discussion in New England over the last week about who Patriots fans will be pulling for in the AFC Championship [...]
