So, IS Tom Brady an A-hole?

By ⋅ January 13, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Noted etiquette expert and New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie sparked controversy this week when he called New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady an “a**hole” for allegedly pointing to the Jets sideline after a touchdown during New England’s 45-3 victory in Week 13. “Everybody’s seen the tape of him pointing and taunting at the sideline [...]

Dear Rex Ryan: A Letter About Tom Brady & The Playoffs

By ⋅ January 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

You’re right, Rex. Peyton Manning would have been watching your Wildcard playoff game this weekend. Manning is probably a big Colts fan, I doubt he would miss their first playoff game. Oh, is that not what you meant? Right, if Peyton Manning were Tom Brady, who had a bye this week because his team went [...]

With Rex Ryan Foot Fetish Report, Deadspin Has Gone Too Far

By ⋅ December 23, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

A “story” broke on deadspin.com on Wednesday. I say “story,” because in my mind, this does not qualify as journalism. It is a series of videos of a man- likely New York Jets coach Rex Ryan- and a woman- likely his wife, Michelle- engaged in a police role-play where the man says the woman has [...]

Patriots-Jets “Game” Rewind: Rex Nuts Up, Jets Don’t Show Up

By ⋅ December 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Well then, I guess that settles that. Expecting a knock-down, drag-out fight in the Ward-Gatti tradition, we instead got Tyson-Spinks, except this bout had a predetermined, rigid time structure and no standing eight count. But 45-3? On Tedy Bruschi Night? Not even in Pete Sheppard’s wettest dreams did anyone see this bloodletting coming. You could [...]

PATS on the Back: Week 13 vs. New York Jets

By ⋅ December 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

“Outcoached.” “Outplayed.” “A total butt whooping.” Yup Rex, that about sums it up. How fun was Monday night’s 45-3 blowout win over the hated Jets? I mean really, with all the hype leading up to that game… the “game of the year,” as ESPN and the NFL was touting it… how flippin’ sweet was that [...]

Bill is a Pill, Rex’s in Effect

By ⋅ December 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Exhibit A is short, truculent, crabby and comports himself with the miffed, detached air of someone running late for a colonoscopy. Exhibit B is large, boisterous, expressive, sometimes downright jolly, possessing an everyman wit you could easily see coming from a barber or short-order cook. They are as different and as similar as the Grinch [...]

Who Makes Up Your “Mt. Rushmore of Hatred?”

By ⋅ October 29, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Hatred. We all have it, whether we admit it or not. As sports fans, we’re fueled by hatred. There wouldn’t be rivalries if it weren’t for hatred. We wouldn’t get so emotional after big games, win or lose, if it weren’t for hatred of the opponent. This week, two of the world’s most hated athletes [...]

Vikings’ Childress the Essence of Idiocy on MNF, Jets’ Ryan a Close Second

By ⋅ October 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I started this Tuesday the way I start all Tuesdays here in Istanbul, with a pot of coffee and an archived Monday Night Football game via NFL Game Pass. This week’s matchup featured the Minnesota Vikings at the New York Jets, a much-anticipated showdown between teams that both fell one game shy of the Super [...]

Who is Danny Woodhead?

By ⋅ September 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Patriots traded veteran running back Laurence Maroney following their Week 1 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, they opened up a very big roster spot. Last week, just before their loss to the New York Jets, they filled that big roster spot, with a very little man. The release of Maroney left many wondering [...]

PATS on the Back: Patriots-Jets, Week 2

By ⋅ September 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

And with a thunderous thud, down went the Patriots on Sunday, falling 28-14 to the hated New York Jets at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Jets coach Rex Ryan must have dined like a king after the big win. Taking a 14-10 lead into halftime, the Pats came out completely flat for the final 30 minutes, [...]

The Couch Potato Report: NFL, PGA, MLB, VMAs, and More Fun with Acronyms

By ⋅ September 11, 2010 ⋅ One comment

For weeks, writing this article was a challenge. The summer months brought little in the ways of big sporting events, making it difficult to hype up a lackluster docket of weekend TV each and every Friday. But now… problem solved. The NFL kicks off its 2010 season this weekend, and I for one am here [...]

Mark Sanchez Speak Out About Tom Brady

By ⋅ August 26, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After Tom Brady said he hates the Jets and doesn’t care to watch HBO’s “Hard Knocks” featuring the New York Jets, Mark Sanchez responded that the feeling is definitely not mutual. Brady’s comments that started the whole kerfuffle? “I hate the Jets. I refuse to support that show. I’m sure it’s great TV and I’m [...]

Patriots Release Adalius Thomas

By ⋅ April 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The New England Patriots cut linebacker Adalius Thomas on Monday, and for most Patriot’s fans one word sums up his departure: finally. Or maybe one phrase: It’s about [insert expletive] time! Monday’s releasing of Thomas came as little surprise to many, and ended a three-year tenure that can only be described as a marriage from [...]

Rex Ryan Flips Bird at MMA Fans, Apologizes for Middle Finger

By ⋅ February 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Jets coach Rex Ryan is apologizing for his recent conduct at an MMA event called “Strikeforce: Miami.” While there, in response to taunts and boos from people presumed to be Dolphins fans, Ryan flipped the bird. What he didn’t know was that fan David Hildenbrand captured a great candid photo of Ryan in the act [...]

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW: Reliving History

By ⋅ January 22, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

What’s a better scenario then a Colts-Jets matchup for the AFC Championship game? Some would argue the Chargers would be a better team, or a Patriots-Colts showdown would be a perfect way to kick start a new decade of football, but honestly, there is not greater matchup then the one presented to us. This season [...]
