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 [...]

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 [...]

The Weekly Hangover: January 29 – February 5, 2010

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.

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 [...]

Patriots 2009 Season Postmortem, Part 3: Offense

Calling the 2009 New England Patriots season a “trainwreck” would be doing a disservice to creativity as well as to the actual confusing and awkward nature of the beast. I’d be more inclined to compare it to something like a strained lower back. Sometimes, even though I know my back is tweaked and needs rest, [...]

Patriots 2009 Season Postmortem, Part 2: Defense

Without a doubt, the end of the 2009 Patriots season leaves more questions than answers. If you think I went a little too easy on the Pats and too hard on fans and the writers yesterday in part one of my post-mortem, then I suppose you’re in for a bit of luck over the next [...]
