Belichick with a huge middle finger to Manning on Sunday Night.
Let’s jump right in. No. 1: Can everyone please stop telling me about how Peyton Manning lost the game because of the wind or the cold weather? His stats, obviously, aren’t the best thing to ever happen to him. 19-for-36 for 150 yards isn’t good by any means. Consider: I know it’s not easy to...
When someone leaves your team, why does it have to be on the team's accord for fans to accept it?
One of the things I will never understand about us as fans: if the star parts ways with our team, we will only celebrate that star if he left on our terms. But if, God forbid, the star wants to leave on his terms, then we’re just not going to like him for the foreseeable future....
I know... you hate the Patriots...
In a league that does all it can to make sure that every team ends up 8-8 every season, I’m a big bettor on teams that had a crushing loss the week prior. Enter the New England Patriots. They were hosed last week on Monday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers. I’m always going to...
Get out the Bradford homers and haters for this one... Rams beat the Bears 42-21.
I have a theory as to why the St. Louis Rams are, all of the sudden, God’s gift to running the football. I don’t know if it’s right or not, but I’ll present it anyway.
Feeling good...
For some of these games, I took what I felt is extra value on some of these lines that is there based on an out-of-character game in the week(s) prior. Here is how I did last week. Good luck.
It's okay to foul...
Yesterday, I was watching UAB basically shit the bed at the end of the game while leading by 3 against New Mexico… …TWICE! So, I had to opine. Basketball coaches have to be smarter than this.
And how I make super-hypothetical sports leaps...
I’ve always been interested in how singular events change the course of history. Especially in sports. For example, with the St. Louis Rams, what if Mike Jones didn’t make “The Tackle” at the goal line against the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV? The Rams may not have won the title without it. Dick Vermeil,...
I bet the chicken taste better after this...
Here’s the security camera footage, via @SportsCallAU, of a Locos restaurant in Alabama as the Auburn Tigers won in one of the most improbable pass completions ever last week. Hostesses: please do not handle the silverware while watching the Auburn game.
From Little League to World Series in two years
Of my time in St. Louis, I believe my biggest public mea culpa has been reserved for Mike Matheny. When Tony La Russa retired and John Mozeliak hired the former St. Louis Cardinals’ catcher to take over one of the most prestigious managerial jobs in Major League Baseball, I was astonished. Matheny, while apparently being...
What a wild three weeks this could be for the Tigers
Missouri football, an SEC team, controls their own destiny in the SEC East. But that’s not the only place where they control their own destiny. Back to that in a moment. I was doing a radio interview today (which is weird, because who wants to do a radio interview with an unemployed guy?) in which the...
