NFL Pigskin Pigsplosion Preview Week 11

NFL, Pigskin Pigsplosion 65 Comments »

I think its great that LeBron James is going to play for the Browns.  An big athletic tight end that hasn’t played organized football for the better part of a decade is just what the city of Cleveland needs to turn around its football team.

Ironically - or coincidentally, I can never remember - the answer to the Cavaliers’ problems is on the Browns’ roster. Read the rest of this entry »

Devin Thomas Had a Brazilian-Themed Birthday, and Clinton Portis Showed Up in a Purple Scarf

clinton-portis-is-a-fashion-superstardevin-thomas-birthday-partyThe party itself isn’t worth a post, so how about we turn this into an item about the Buffalo Bills? Reality seems to be setting in regarding who the Bills can secure as head coach. Yesterday, we said this; today, the local media is saying this: Read the rest of this entry »

Thursday Night’s All Right for Running the Ball

Music, NFL, Video 277 Comments »

jake-delhomme-carolina-panthers-not-dead-yetIn a matchup that can only be described as even more scintillating than last week’s epic 49ers-Bears tilt, tonight’s installment of NFL Network’s much-plugged Thursday Night Football again features two teams with playoff aspirations. I remember when I was young and had things to aspire to. A month from now, when the Panthers and Dolphins are watching the postseason from their five-figure couches, they’ll know what I mean.

Drunk Buffalo Bills Think They’re Getting Mike Shanahan or Bill Cowher. Ha!

NFL 100 Comments »

mike-shanahan-bill-cowherThe beginning of coaching searches are always brimming with optimism - everyone is in play! The Buffalo Bills seem to think Mike Shanahan, Bill Cowher, Mike Holmgren and Brian Billick are potential targets to fill the seat previously occupied by Dick Jauron. Clearly, fans in Buffalo are drunk. The Bills aren’t getting any of those guys. The notoriously cheap franchise will need to spend money on a big-name coach, but why would any of those guys go to Buffalo? The Bills have holes at all the key offensive spots- lack a capable QB and skill at the key positions (WR, RB), and they have the worst run defense in the league. Read the rest of this entry »

The JaMarcus Russell Experiment Has Finally Ended

1-liner, NFL 42 Comments »

Bruce Gradkowski, New Oakland Raiders QB: He’s from outside Pittsburgh, the same area that produced Hall of Famers Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Joe Namath, and Johnny Unitas. Supposedly, Gradkowski posted better high school stats than all of them. Gradkowski has not thrown a TD pass since 2006. The Cable guy has done Gradkowski no favors - Oakland hosts Cincinnati Sunday, and the Bengals have the 2nd-best defense in the league (16.3 ppg). Cincy is in the top 10 in interceptions and sacks, too. [Chronicle, Mercury News]

Jeremy Shockey: LeBron Could Never Play in the NFL

1-liner, College Basketball, College Football, NBA, NFL, Video 158 Comments »

jeremy-shockey-vs-lebron-jamesJeremy Shockey vs. LeBron James: The Saints tight end dropped a strange gauntlet on twitter last night. The uninformed Shockey must have had one too many energy drinks - James was an accomplished high school football player, is perhaps the most freakish physical specimen in NBA (sports?) history, and at 6-foot-8, 265 pounds, he’s taller, heavier, and presumably faster than any tight end in the league.

We’ll Probably Try to See The Blind Side

1-liner, Movies, NFL 63 Comments »

The Blind Side: Haven’t heard many folks talking about this upcoming football movie - except to make fun of Sandra Bullock, who really is a poor man’s Julia Roberts, if that’s how Hollywood is trying to peg her. The movie is based on the book by talented writer Michael Lewis (who also wrote Moneyball). Nick Saban is one of the college football coaches who makes a cameo. If we don’t see The Blind Side this weekend, it’ll be difficult to wedge it in - The Road is a must-see Thanksgiving weekend, then there’s a big weekend on college football, followed by holiday parties leading up to Christmas. In other news, Fight Club turned 10 yesterday. [Baltimore Sun]
