Michael Silver: The Raiders aren’t as lucky as the Colts

Michael Silver wrote an article last night talking about how Carson Palmer doesn’t want to play for the Raiders this year even if they pay him $10 million.  OK. Then Carson Palmer is an idiot, but we already knew this much. What we didn’t know is that Silver somehow got his hands on a ‘document’ from inside the Raiders headquarters comparing the Colts situation to the Raiders last offseason. Now, before I go into how stupid this argument is because the Colts had THE NUMBER ONE PICK IN THE NFL DRAFT WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE ANDREW FREAKING LUCK…

Free Agency Winners from….2012

Free agency is always one of the most exciting and mind boggling times of the NFL year. Exciting because players move around nimbly bimbly from team to team, and mind boggling because teams are always declared ‘Winners’ and ‘Losers.’ The fact of the matter is that most of the time, the ‘Winners’ of free agency are still ‘Losers’ when it comes time to play actual football.  Don’t believe me?  Well then let’s take a look at some of last year’s supposed ‘Winners’ according to John Clayton from ESPN. 1.) “The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the 2012 free-agency winners by…

Big Brother for the Win

My pick for the Super Bowl is based solely on personal experience. When it comes to pick-up games of basketball, soccer, football, baseball, wall ball, knee football, sharks and minoes, freedom, sardines, lacrosse, 500, king of the hill, rumble fumble, sledding, water balloon fights, back yard wrestling, and of course, half marathons, my big brother–the wolfman–has always held sway over his younger counter part. Therefore, my Super Bowl pick reasoning goes like this: John Harbaugh is older than Jim Harbaugh. Therefore, my pick for the Super Bowl winner is: The Ravens, 24-20. Enjoy!

Ray Lewis is Outside of your College Dining Hall

Back in college, we used to have this crazy religious guy who would show up about once a week with his faded baseball hat, his stubble and stained teeth, his coffee and bourbon breath, dressed in his dirty brown khakis and stringy overcoat. He would hang out in front of the dining hall, getting into peoples’ faces and screaming at them about God and how we were all a bunch of sinners and what not. The man was pretty much completely insane, waving around the Good Book and sullying its name with every word that he uttered. Why am…

Emergency Te’o Post

Ok, if you have been living under a rock, you probably haven’t heard about this Manti Te’o business. So allow me to give you the cliff notes version: Te’o had a girlfriend. He says that the locked eyes at a Stanford game in 2009, that she was a Stanford student and that they fell in love. Cut to 2012 when the girlfriend supposedly comes down with leukemia and tragically passes away on the same day as Te’o’s grandmother (who did, it should be noted, really pass away, which is legitimately sad). All sorts of news media picks up on…

Delaware Park Parlay Card Part Trois

1.) Aren’t we all lucky to have the regular refs back in our lives?  They did not miss a single call last weekend and I for one am glad that they did not stay locked out for longer.  Yeeeesh. Of course that is sarcasm, and even though I thought that the replacement refs were terrible, it turns out that the regular refs are just as terrible. It was, however, very nice to see the Broncos get screwed over on a ‘Tuck Rule’ non call. So that made me happy. It was those same Broncos, mind you, that kept me…
