NFL playoff analysis

I said last week that I don’t really follow the NFL playoffs unless the Chicago Bears are involved, but I do like to follow the progress. And no one gives a more enjoyable analysis than Gregg Easterbrook, aka the Tuesday Morning Quarterback. I don’t even have to know which players he is specifically talking about, [...]

Favre back

Is anyone really surprised? I’m not a Vikings fan nor have I been a fan of any team Favre’s played for, but this whole soap opera that goes on every off season is bordering on insane. And if that isn’t enough, he’s getting a hefty raise. Statistically he is capable of playing, but commit to [...]

The (football) Gambler

Brett Favre, you gotta know when to fold’em, meaning walk away. Favre shared with USA Today that he feels he could play until he’s 50. Now, he might be able to play until then, but will he be any good or any kind of difference maker for the team he’s on? I think we all [...]

Super Bowl awesomeness

This was a great game last night. I can’t even begin to list all the things the Saints did that impressed me. The onside kick to start the second half was pure genius. It was so unexepected and executed perfectly. Or how about that barrel roll reception to get the two point conversion late in [...]

Who’s your Super Bowl pick?

Well, the stage is set, the players are positioned.  New Orleans is set to play the Indianapolis Colts, the two teams that went the longest with unbeaten streaks this regular season.  Who’s your pick?  Do you root for the sentimental favorite New Orleans, still recovering from the effect of Katrina, or do you want the Colts, who [...]

TMQ rocks

When football is in season, there is one columnist I love reading.  Gregg Easterbrook, also known as the Tuesday Morning Quarterback, write for Page 2 on ESPN.com.  He recaps the wee’s games and offers insight into why certain teams seem to be flourishing while others are floundering.  What I really love are his tangent sections.  [...]

NFL Playoff round 1 recap

Well, after the first weekend of Wildcard playoffs in the NFL, I have to admit my staggering ability to pick the wrong team.  I went 1-3 in picking the winning team; the only one I got right was Jets-Bengals.  My bracket isn’t busted, but it’s pretty close, especially if I have another weekend like this [...]

50% isn’t too bad

So I was a little off. The Eagles fell short and the cards ended up with the win. Kurt Warner looked great and if the Cards are on their game they could give Pittsburgh a run for their money. I usually go with the under dog in these types of games but I think Pittsburgh [...]

It’s prime time NFL!

We are down to the Steelers, Ravens, Cardinals and Eagles and I have to say that both Championship games look to be great games.  Steelers and Ravens will surely be a defensive struggle from the opening kickoff. My prediction is, Steelers win the game with a score of 2-0 when the Raven’s QB falls down [...]
