The NFL is notorious for having uninspired trade deadlines, but the fine folks from Oakland and Cincinnati look to buck that trend this year. Per ESPN, the Raiders and Bengals are on the verge of swapping embattled quarterback Carson Palmer for two draft picks. Read the rest of this entry »

And we all thought 2011 was the year of Philly didn’t we? One week in October has killed both the Phillies and the Eagles’ seasons. The you-shall-not-call-them-the Dream Team moved to 1-4 on the season following a defeat to the AFC East’s rising dynasty, the Buffalo Bills. Mental mistakes on offense killed the Eagles as Michael Vick gave up four picks to the ball-hawking Bills defense. While the Eagles’ high-priced secondary shutdown Buffalo’s passing game, the D had no answer for Fred Jackson who put up 200 yards of offense himself. Read the rest of this entry »

This morning had Terrelle Pryor pegged as a surefire fifth or sixth round pick. Pundits were even predicting that he would be better off as a tight end instead of trying to haul passes to receivers as his accuracy left a lot to be desired. Of course, none of these experts accounted for the wildcard: the looney, half-dead owner of the Raiders, Al Davis. Read the rest of this entry »

Being a NFL defender is a tough gig with a much greater share of shame than glory. Week 7 was the week the defenses turned the table as this week featured defensive touchdowns. Ground zero for the cornerback invasion was Solider’s Field, where D’Angelo Hall  almost single-handedly ended Jay Cutler, Mike Martz and Lovie Smith’s careers. Hall intercepted a harassed Cutler 4 times in the second half, returning one for a game-winning 92 yard touchdown. Read the rest of this entry »

I haven’t paid attention to wrestling in well over eight years. WWF (I refuse to refer to it with the ‘E’ on the end) always ranked as #1 in my book, but after that whole merger with WCW and ECW, I lost interest. Minus the B.S., I still have fond memories of the sport however. One wrestler in particular whose matches I always enjoyed was Chris Benoit. Read the rest of this entry »

For the third and fourth time in the last five years, Indy and New Orleans enter December as unbeatens. Both teams maintained the course on their quest for perfection, Indy with a routine win over the feisty Titans (sorry Gotty™) and New Orleans with anything but against the Washington Redskins.

Down to the Skins, the Saints got a key touchdown after wide receiver Robert Meachem forced and recovered an improbable fumble after a (terrible) Brees interception. That’s a once or twice a year in the NFL play. Read the rest of this entry »

“Just keep your head up & you see all the good things.”

Too often, the good that athletes do is overlooked. Whether it be for a tax write-off or for genuine good, any act that involves you taking what you have and sharing with others is respectable. Read the rest of this entry »
