I don’t know how to blog to TheFranchiseOK.com from my phone, which is what I’m doing now. But, many who missed the show today (how dare you!) are asking for my thoughts on the “Mr. Unreliable” headline The Oklahoman gave Kevin Durant (sounds braggadocios… Yuck. Sorry). (Please excuse the all-caps… Most of this is straight...
I remember April 19, 1995 vividly. I was a freshman at Providence High School in Clarksville, Ind. Many students gathered around the TVs as every network was well into their “Special Report” coverage of the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. I remember being frozen by it. I remember purposely being late for...
AT&T is spoofing True Detective. Or the other way around. I’m not sure. Either way, brilliant. Especially Fake McConaughey.
I gotta give this guy some credit. Most creative so far.
It’s been an interesting last couple of months. In one word: humbling. Interest from top markets, no interest from smaller markets, and everything in between. It’s the first time I’ve ever been in this spot where I’m really searching for a job while actually not being employed. It’s totally been a blessing in disguise. Part of that...
Headlines all over already projecting Manning's legacy ONLY if he loses...
It is Friday. The NFL playoffs are in full swing. So my biases are feeling real good. It’s like going commando, and it feels good (don’t act like going commando doesn’t feel good). So, while I’m “freeballing,” let me go ahead and defend my man, Peyton Manning. The most popular media narrative: “This is the...
Mini-petty-diatribe time
This is not a diatribe on what I think about gays and lesbians. If that’s what you were looking for when you clicked on this, all I can give you is this: in terms of your sexual preference, I do not care, unless you’re going after my main squeeze (otherwise known as ‘Lady EZ’). Then...
Here's a hint: he wouldn't...
For the Louisville readers (and anyone else interested, I guess), just so I’ve got this straight. Louisville Cardinals quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is the top quarterback prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft according to many of the draftniks. He’s also graduated. From his twitter account: As of December 16, 2013 10:34 PM, I can officially say...
Matt Stafford didn't, all of the sudden, play a bad game
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this. A team plays well enough to win. Has the game all but won. But one final drive by the other team sets them up for a chance, albeit marginal, to win the game. The other team takes advantage of that chance, wins the game. It happens. And...
The worst part: some media help the cause...
It seems as though the NFL and it’s teams are proactive in almost every other department, other than making personnel changes at the most opportune times in a season. Why is that? Plus, clothing gets “retired” and Mark Trestman is a PR stuntman! And do we have any other pieces of clothing we’re going to...
