Sometimes it’s hard to believe how dumb one franchise can be. For all the botched drafts, terrible coaches, horrible losses, and utter foolishness in their history, part of me thought that Rex Ryan was actually bringing a winning culture to the franchise. Then on Wednesday, reality dropped on me like a cartoon anvil. We won’t [...]
Rex Ryan got his introduction to Tim Tebow…from a couple fans while dining in a Baton Rouge, Louisiana restaurant. Watch: (What else can I say?)
Wow. Twitter, my phone, ESPN, THE WORLD has just exploded. First, the NFL went crazy and suspended Saints coach Sean Payton for a full year (seriously) for the bounty stupidity down in New Orleans. Then the Jets traded a fourth round pick for Tim Tebow. I am so excited about this I can barely breathe. [...]
There’s nothing quite like December football. Let’s get straight into the picks, as always picks in bold. Jacksonville @ Atlanta The Falcons are well on their way to the fifth seed in the NFC and the Jags are well on their way to finding a new home. Dallas @ Tampa Bay The way Tampa has [...]
“It’s Impossible Not to Believe in Tebow” By Mike Lupica of the Daily News [Monday, 12/13/11] Sports Reporter Mike Lupica resides in the pantheon of American sports journalism because he usually separates himself from sensationalist press while providing deftly written, well-reasoned, and cogent perspectives on myriad controversial topics. However, even a savvy media vet like Mike Lupica decided to chug, [...]
Here’s this week’s picks. As usual, picks are in bold. Cleveland @ Pittsburgh Boy was I wrong about the Steelers last week. That was a beatdown they put on the Bengals. Houston @ Cincinnati T.J. Yates makes enough plays, Arian Foster controls the clock, the Texans defense plays well enough to help the Texans move closer [...]
Thanksgiving Day Football Miami @ Dallas The Dolphins and Cowboys come into Thanksgiving Day on three game win streaks. The Dolphins thumped the reeling Bills and the Cowboys survived against the Redskins. What once looked like the snoozer of the three games actually turned into a pretty intriguing matchup. The key to the Dolphins’ success is [...]
Recap J-E-T-S…Just End The Season? The roller coaster ride continues for the New York Jets as they get “Tebowed,” dropping a crucial game to the Denver Broncos, 17-13. A defensive battle consisting of two young quarterbacks defined the majority of the game between both teams, but it was one young quarterback that captured the headline while the [...]
So the Jets (5-4) will be facing the Denver Broncos (4-5) on Thursday Night. Is this a “must win” game for both teams? Absolutely. The Jets are legitimate Superbowl contenders, and the Broncos have a shot at making the playoffs. Be serious – the Jets playoff hopes are on the line this week, no?
Quick Hits from Week 10: I didn’t like the Giants decision not to burn their last timeout on fourth and two, following the D.J. Ware run. What are they saving it for? They looked completely out of sorts on the biggest play of the game. Great point by Troy Aikman, even if Smith doesn’t bat [...]
