Ravens’ Ray Lewis Used PEDs to Return in Time for Playoffs

By ⋅ January 30, 2013 ⋅ One comment

Apparently Wes Welker’s wife forgot to add one item to her scathing Ray Lewis rant on Facebook: Cheater. According to a story in Sports Illustrated’s next issue, Lewis used a banned substance during his recovery from a torn right triceps, and despite that he will be playing in Super Bowl 47. Mitch Ross, who owns Sports with Alternatives [...]

What Really Wins Super Bowls

By ⋅ January 12, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Great quarterbacks, great coaches, and great teams win Super Bowls. But along the way, every championship team has been helped by factors other than their own play. Whether it is a coin toss, a forecast, an odd rule or the ineptitude of an opponent, no recent Super Bowl winner has been crowned without some form [...]

SoB Crystal Ball: Predicting 2013 More Successfully than the Mayans

By ⋅ January 9, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Now that it’s finally clear the Mayans didn’t bring about the end of the world, SoB can get down to business making some predictions for the new year. What sort of predictions, you ask? Fearless ones. Bold ones. Zero regard for possible Patriots playoff jinxes. Projected presidential candidates running on the Papa John’s platform. Celtics [...]

2012 Patriots Blueprint to New Orleans (If They Sign Wes Welker)

By ⋅ February 21, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

I wrote at the end of September that Bill Belichick had lost his fastball on defense. As it turned out, I was wrong. Given the personnel, I thought it was a near miracle that the Patriots were an incomplete pass from a Super Bowl championship. Looking back, it was one of his finest coaching seasons. [...]

Week of 2/5 – 2/12/12 This was a week filled with curious and controversial decisions like Kevin Youkilis popping the question to Tom Brady’s sister, Rob Gronkowski partying like he’s on the Jersey Shore right after losing the Super Bowl, and Tom Brady’s wife publicly blaming the receivers for blowing the big game. What could go [...]

Hey Patriots, “Coffee is for Closers”

By ⋅ February 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Alec Baldwin famously said “Coffee is for closers” in the movie “Glengarry Glen Ross,” and when it came to Super Bowl 46, he couldn’t be more right. The Patriots couldn’t close. I have had a couple days to digest, and I am like many Patriot fans, I’m ready to move on. I wanted to reflect [...]

Rob Gronkowski and Matt Light were caught on camera partying shirtless on stage with LMFAO at the Patriots after-party just hours after losing the Super Bowl on Sunday night/early Monday morning. Is there anything wrong with this picture? I have a few different feelings about this…

By ⋅ February 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Do you believe in the SI cover curse? Does it apply to team owners? Despite whatever you may believe, Patriots owner Robert Kraft made the cover of Sports Illustrated this week for the first time. What took so long? Photo after the jump…

Who Does “Fake Tom Brady” Actually Look Like?

By ⋅ January 31, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Super Bowl Media Day was a complete circus as usual on Tuesday. One of the sideshows was a man dubbed “Fake Tom Brady.” At first glance, Fake Tom, also known as Nick Lower of Missouri, resembled the Brady of a couple years back. He has long, flowing brown hair and a thick beard (do you [...]

By ⋅ January 25, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Rapper, Cash Money Records co-founder/co-CEO, and Lil Wayne father figure Birdman (now known as Baby, for some reason, although his real name is Bryan Williams) has offered to bet $5 million on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. $5 million!
