For the first 25 minutes the New England Patriots had the ball against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, they played sloppy, uncreative football. But down three points with 2:31 left in the game, Tom Brady led a precision air-strike that culminated in Brady’s 8-yard bullet to Aaron Hernandez in the end zone, completing yet [...]
Since he made his debut on Sunday night football in 2006 Tony Romo has been under intense scrutiny, the kind of scrutiny that comes hand in hand with being quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Upon taking the starting job from Drew Bledsoe, Romo’s on the field performance has been picked apart by every so-called sports [...]
Maybe I missed the memo, but it seems like it’s a requirement this week that every article written that has to do with the NFL, has to make mention of the “devastating” hits to the head from Week 6. So I’ll oblige… after all, who am I to buck authority? And maybe I’m just being [...]
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 [...]
We all love summertime. The mercury in the thermometer peaks, and so does the number of scantily clad women at the beach. But personally, I’m very happy to see the summer come to a close. Not because I want to see the lovely beach bunnies layer up for colder weather ahead, but because with the [...]
Your competition is already working hard at building a winning fantasy team… are you? Fantasy football draft preparation should be in full swing by now for you die hards out there that are hoping for a successful 2010 season. Today, I bring you the second installment of my divisional fantasy previews, with the spotlight shone [...]
After a brief vacation week last week, mostly spent failing to stay cool, I return with a vengeance this week to bring you a hearty helping of weekend TV picks in today’s edition of “The Couch Potato Report,” C.P.R. for your sports-lovin’ hearts. Well the World Cup is finally over, NHL and NBA free agency [...]
Recently, the hosts of the Versus show “The Daily Line” took the time to answer questions from blogs across the country. Fortunately, one of the hosts, Liam McHugh, answered a couple of our “pertinent” sports questions about Phil Jackson, LeBron James, Tony Romo, and Chad Ochocinco. Say what? See the video below:
In a lot of leagues, the playoffs have begun. This is because most leagues don’t play during week 17. I don’t see why. In the SoB league, we play all the way through to the end. This means that we are in our final week of our regular season. I think playing during week 17 [...]
Say “bye-bye” to bye weeks! Finally, after seven weeks of juggling your roster and piecing together your fantasy roster from week to week, this week you’ll finally have all your fantasy horses lined up in the starting gates come game time. Or will you? With the latest rash of big injuries to impact fantasy players, [...]
I think we just need to start a pool. Which QB will leave a game with an injury this week. Week 4 saw an injury to rookie Matthew Stafford. Granted, he wasn’t as big a name as others who have bitten the dust this season, but it’s still something. I think the NFL needs to [...]
With the announcement this week that the third incarnation of Brett “Farv-ruh” is upon us, I found myself re-evaluating my feelings on the sports figures I loathe most. I quickly found that Minnesota’s No. 4 has vaulted to No. 1 on my list. I mean, come on Brett…go away already! I’ve never seen anyone who has reached [...]
The season has come to an end. Was it as good for you as it was for me? Hopefully a lot of you are celebrating fantasy championships and are currently rubbing it in the faces of co-workers and/or schoolmates. If you were lucky enough to nab DeAngelo Williams off of waivers then good for you. [...]
The SoB football league’s regular season is over. The playoffs will begin this week. Those unfortunate enough to not finish in the top six will be given lovely parting gifts and a well-deserved pat on the back. In my other league, the team with second-lowest point total not only made the playoffs but, he finished [...]
Months and months ago, the SoB football league had its draft. Football is the sport with the least amount of depth at each position so in order to get things off on the right foot, you need to have a solid foundation. That foundation is in Round 1. If your first round pick fails then [...]
