 Revis Island can be a lonely place for receivers. At the moment it’s also a lonely place for a Darrelle Revis. The man who was hands-down the best defensive player in the league last year is not practicing or spending time with his teammates, and it HAS to be a frustrating way to follow up [...]  I joined the Ultimate Football Talk podcast tonight to talk about a few of the prospects for the NFL draft tomorrow. Marty Borotsik, the regular host of the show just shot some rapid fire topics and we went through them like a set of clippers through Big Ben’s dirtbag undercut. You can listen on iTunes or [...]  I’m sick of mock drafts. Speculating on what a team “might” do is boring. I’d rather tell teams what they SHOULD do. Frankly, Al Davis should be reading this, nodding his head and calling me to run his draft room. If I was a betting man, and I am, I’d rather actually place bets on the [...]  (Before you read anything else, say that title in a Mike Tyson voice, it’s WAY more entertaining!) As usual, during the lead-up to the NFL draft, there are trade rumors flying. There are a few veteran names being bounced around with a variety of draft picks rumored to be going the other way in return. The veterans [...]  Given the change to the NFL’s overtime rules for the playoffs, NFL coaches might want to re-evaluate their 4th down decision models. Coaches will definitely have a more difficult decision to make if the opening drive stalls in FG territory. Knowing that the other team has a chance to get the ball back if a FG is kicked [...]  At this time of year, we all seem to constantly refresh our screens, search twitter or leave the TV on NFL Network to find out which free agents have landed with each team and how much money they got. Inevitably we get into arguments about whether certain players were worth the money or not. Marty and [...]  With free agency only a few days away, teams are making difficult decisions on who could help their team on the free agent market. The majority of the talent available this year is definitely on the defensive side of the ball, but there are probably some excellent bargains to be had on the offensive side. Unless [...] Another year, and another playoff disappointment for Colts fans. It seems odd to be so dominant in the regular season, and yet the team seems to perennially come up short in the post-season. In case you haven’t guessed already, or are not a regular reader, I’m a Colts fan. Now that I’ve had a couple [...] It’s taken two weeks of hype, ignoring a Pro Bowl that no one cares about, and way too much worrying about Dwight Freeney’s ankle. It’s finally here, the Dignity Bowl finale. Oh yeah, it’s also the Superbowl. Every angle has been dissected, every fan is having a nervous breakdown (myself included) and the party food has [...] Below is a guest post by Sarah from her blog Real Women Watch Football. Give her blog a visit if you like what she’s written. As everyone knows, the Indianapolis Colts are playing the New Orleans in the Super Bowl on Sunday. So what has been the focus of this game since day one? How the [...] I don’t always like the week leading up to Superbowl. Everybody seems to be searching for a story angle and we tend to beat small stories to death. It reminds me of seeing someone on a hot blackjack table and everyone else clamors to get a seat. That said, one part I really like, is that [...] It’s time to admit what the Pro Bowl is. It’s just one last effort by the NFL to eke out some TV money, jersey sales and press coverage. The problem is that only works when the game is full of the NFL’s biggest stars. This year, there’s been more ducking out than at a Washington Wizards [...] Dignity Bowl Update:
So Pete has it in the bag….Ryan is looking ok, but our hero (read: ME!) is not out of the woods! I am tied with my mom with the Superbowl to go! it [...] Forget Leno vs Conan, we’ve got bloggers vs their moms! Take that NBC! Sure, both Tonight Show hosts have infinitely more hair than chrome-domers like Marty and I, but Sports Opinionated has the football predictive skills of Kim, Maria, and Norma. We’ve been trying to sign Triumph, but he’s holding out for more things to [...] Am I unaware of an intense amount of blackmail, the back-stabbing that happens behind closed doors or just the sheer lack of judgement in NFL front offices? After this week, I would have to say ”all of the above”. Does Norv have pictures of Dean Spanos wife?For starters, the San Diego Chargers handed Norv Turner a 3 year [...] …And the NFL is now down to four teams. …And the dignity bowl has been turned upside down! Well, maybe not turned upside down, but it seems as though order was restored a bit, this week. For me at least. I spent the early part of this past week walking around like a zombie…like I had been [...] With one week under our belts, it doesn’t look like anyone on the Sports Opinionated staff knew their stuff. We were a collective 4-8 while our moms went 2-10. Personally, I felt a little like Alan Garner (Zach Galifinakis’ character) on The Hangover, lost and throwing out comments that had no relevance whatsoever. In honor [...] The NFL playoffs are a fascinating time of year. It’s a time where every analyst from ESPN to some random sports blogger (*cough*) can break down each game in every direction, and make gimmicky picks against their mothers. It is also a time of transition. The first Monday after the final game is widely known [...] Wildcard Weekend is in the bag, and judging by my picks in the Dignity Bowl, there were a few surprises. After all, I finished 1-3, and lost to not only my mother, but my girlfriend got in on the action for a side bet, and also beat me. My picks were bested by a mother [...] It`s time for all the hype to finally come true. “Final Countdown“ is playing on the loudspeakers (read: my iPhone) and the pressure is mounting. The crowd (my dog) is going wild as we prepare for the biggest matchup of the football season. Yeah sure, the wildcard games are important, but not nearly as important [...] |
