Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present –

The Jets The Jets have to be the most stubborn and stupid football organization on the planet right now. You have arguably one of the most popular football players on your team, you are OUT of the playoffs, and yet you announce that you are going to start your third string quarterback instead. Well congratulations Jets, you just made me feel sorry for Tim Tebow – and I honestly did not think that was even possible. (Maybe I am just feeling sentimental since according to my father’s meticulous research and Ancestry.com we may be related. Keep your head up…

NFL Myth: Teams Tank Games for Better Draft Picks

After the Raiders shutout the KC Chiefs and put on an absolute clinic about how to properly kick field goals on Sunday, I went over to Raiderfans.net to see how the Raider Nation was reacting. It was, after all, our first win in 7 weeks. And hey, even if it was a win over a terrible (and I mean tuuuuurrrrible) team, I’ll take what I can get at this point. A win is a win. So what did I find? Fans bitching and complaining about the win!  And why is that, you may ask?  A.) It hurt our draft…

Who is Frank Ocean?

1.) I mean honestly?  The only time I ever heard of him was when one of my soccer players was listening to him on their Ipod before one of our games. I didn’t really think much of him until I check out all of these “best of” lists and guess who is number one on practically all of them? Frank Ocean! So I go to check out his songs, I listen to them and I think….meh. I mean, any album that has lyrics like: “Set the cheetahs on the loose, there’s a thief out on the move, underneath out…

Hell, Let’s Make Some Picks!

I’ll admit, I’ve been off my game lately. I hadn’t made any NFL predictions since Week 9. Things have been hectic, so forgive me for not guiding your betting patterns for a few weeks. But, just as people feel towards McDonald’s hamburgers, you’ll love me, then hate me, then forgive me right back into your life at an inopportune time. Let’s get to the FAT! Cincinnati -4.5 @ Philadelphia – The Eagles are the only team I know that can mess up losing. The idea, at this point, is to lose out for a better draft pick. The coaching…

Andrew Bynum Expects To Play This Season

This just in…. Andrew Bynum has stated that he intends to play this season. Right after, he mentioned that his left knee is still incredibly sore and he’s not sure on the timetable for his return. I guess that’s some sort of good news? This is the knee he injured during his bowling fiasco. So technically, if the man lived in a bubble during his rehabilitation, he would be healthy enough to play right now. That makes me rethink my position on the Sixers trade and this whole situation. Bynum sticks to his story that he will play this…
