Deconstructing the QB Controversy in Chicago

By Brett | December 6th, 2006

We've been resistant to chiming in publicly on the clusterfuck that is the quarterback situation in Chicago for a couple reasons. First, it seems like every a-hole out there has an opinion on whether the Bears should stick with ...

Jake Delhomme: Single-Handedly Killing Our Playoff Predictions

By Brett | December 5th, 2006

Just when we thought the the NFC playoff picture couldn't become any more muddled --or the conference any more mediocre-- the Jeff Garcia led Eagles go out and beat the Panthers on MNF. If the playoffs were to start today, Phi ...

Viva Gramatica!

By Brett | December 4th, 2006

Forget the 60 yard game winner that Rob Bironas booted to beat the Colts. Forget Josh Brown's game winner --his record-tying 4th game winning kicker of the season-- to beat Denver in the late game. The award for Best Game Winn ...

NFC Playoff Picture

By Brett | November 30th, 2006

We enjoy the fact that current NFL flavor of the month Tony Romo kind of looks like a filthy drunk in this photo. Can't really think of a decent segueway from that into our pseudo-analysis of the NFC playoff race, so we're just ...

Let The Playoff Analysis Begin!

By Brett | November 29th, 2006

We were going to start this post with a mention of how the Broncos have made a QB switch, and are hoping to ride Jay Cutler (figuratively) to the playoffs. We did the perfunctory Jay Cutler image search, and this little doozy is ...

MNF Liveblog: Green Bay vs. Seattle

By Brett | November 27th, 2006

Can't say we're real intrigued by this one. The Pack going to Seattle, where we'll undoubtedly hear about two storylines all night long: Brett Favre/Mike Holgrem and How Amazing Brett Favre Is/Will Brett Favre Retire At The End ...

Week 12 Wrap

By Brett | November 27th, 2006

Alright, we know we're getting to the party a little late in the day to talk about yesterday's action, but we have a couple of excuses handy. First, we have a real job, that requires real work...so back off. Second, it's taken u ...

Week 12 Preview: Bears vs. Pats

By Brett | November 22nd, 2006

We haven't done a Bears preview post in a while, and with the Thanksgiving games looking less than compelling (with the exception of Denver/KC, which we're not talking about because we're bitter as hell that the only game worth w ...

MNF Liveblog: Giants vs. Jags

By Brett | November 20th, 2006

It's been a while, but we're getting back on the livebloggin' horse. After a hiatus of a few weeks, we're back and badder than ever...or something like that. Tonights game should be a good one. What this rivalry lacks in myst ...

Week 11 Wrap Up

By Brett | November 20th, 2006

Before we dive into our reactions on this weekend's NFL action, we're going to comment on the Ohio St.-Michigan game. The game was well played, clean, and wasn't characterized by bad penalties, stupid turnovers or sloppy play. B ...

Week 11 Preview

By Brett | November 17th, 2006

In no particular order, here are a few of the storylines that we'll be following this weekend: Looks like reigning league MVP Shaun Alexander is coming back. We're going to go on record, and say this: His ridiculous TD t ...

Guess We Should Chime In On This

By Brett | November 17th, 2006

In case you haven't heard, there's a big college game tomorrow, as the Wolverines of Michigan will attempt to defeat the Buckeyes of Ohio State by kicking an oblong leather ball through a large upright H. We anticipate it will ...

Jason Campbell: A Day Late and A Buck Short

By Brett | November 14th, 2006

Joe Gibbs has finally pulled the trigger on the move that many have been calling for for weeks now: he's finally turning over the keys to the offense to QB Jason Campbell. Gibbs has claimed that he's not mailing in the season, b ...

Week 10 Wrap Up: Have We Mentioned That We Hate Ed Hochuli?

By Brett | November 13th, 2006

We're back from overseas, a bit earlier than expected. After we heard about the what happened at Soldier Field in Week 9, we changed our flight to get back early for the Bears-Giants game, knowing our boys would need all the ...

Week 9 Preview: There's Really Only One Game That Matters

By Brett | November 2nd, 2006

Tom Brady. Peyton Manning. Bill Belichick. Tony Dungy. 6-1 Pats. 7-0 Colts. Huge, insanely overhyped game between two great teams, that probably deserves all the attention it's getting. But we don't really care that much, fo ...

Breaking Our Sheepish Silence

By Brett | November 1st, 2006

After we so boldly predicted that the Seahawks-Chiefs game would be a complete cluster last week, we decided to bury our head in the sand for a while. Actually, we've just been out of town on business and haven't been able to giv ...

Somewhere Bubby Brister is Licking his Chops

By Bob | October 29th, 2006

Last week it was Bruce Gradkowski. This week it was David Gerrard. The Eagles haven't exactly faced Joe Montana and Dan Marino, but they are doing a great job of making mediocre, unknown quarterbacks into sup ...

Why We Hate Fox's NFL Coverage

By Brett | October 27th, 2006

Obvious reasons aside, our hatred for the Fox network has reached new heights today. Why? We'll tell you why. Seneca Wallace and Brodie Croyle, that's why. Because we live in the Seahawks' 'market', this week we're being forced ...

Week 8 Preview: Just Glad Week 7 Is Over

By Brett | October 26th, 2006

Last week was officially the worst week of the season thus far. On top of the fact that there was a slate of crap games on Sunday , the Bears were on bye, leaving us with the half-excited, half-depressed feeling we got after t ...

Bears Come Off Bye Week Banged Up

By Brett | October 24th, 2006

Coming off their comeback victory over the Cardinals last week, the Bears went into their bye week at 6-0. In spite of Rex Grossman's hideous performance in that game, their offense still ranks near the top of the heap, and their ...

Week 7 Wrap Up: NFL Enters Bizarro World

By Brett | October 22nd, 2006

Every year it seems like there's a weekend in the NFL that season that takes all of the conventional wisdowm, assumptions, and preconceived notions that fans and media have about the league, and takes a great big piss all over th ...

Mediocrity has returned to the building

By Bob | October 22nd, 2006

Losing on a 61-yard field goal to a team as pathetic as the fucking Tampa Bucs would kill me if I thought the Eagles were a Super Bowl contending team, but the fact is that this year's version of the Birds is like so many before i ...

Week 7: Game Previews

By Brett | October 20th, 2006

Detroit vs. NYJ Why does this thoroughly unintriguing game get first billing? Because we like the picture, and because it has major fantasy implications for us this weekend, when we have several regular starters out on byes. We ...

Coaching Shorts: The Other Shoe Drops In Arizona

By Brett | October 17th, 2006

Let's re-cap the last 24 hours in the desert: The Cardinals jump out to a quick 14-0 lead over the lifeless Bears. Rex Grossman does his best Kurt Warner impersonation, turns the ball over 4 times in the first half, and the Bear ...

Denny Green Gets Pissy After The Cards Wet Themselves

By Brett | October 16th, 2006

We knew there'd be some fallout from the Bears ridiculously improbable 24-23 comeback victory over the Cards on Monday Night. We knew there'd be the predictable gnashing of teeth in the Chicago over Rex Grossman's god-awful perfo ...

MNF Liveblog: Bears vs. Cardinals

By Brett | October 16th, 2006

The Bears. Monday Night Football. Hi-Def. Consider us sufficiently stoked, and ready to liveblog the living hell out of tonight's game. Here are just a few of the many things that are giving us THO an hour before kick off: ...

The Curse of Lester Hayes

By Bob | October 15th, 2006

The Superdome in New Orleans conjures up a lot of distressing memories for Americans. While I would never minimize the horrors of what took place there in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, as a Philadelphia Eagles fan the building r ...

Week 6 Preview: Somewhere The Boz Is Smiling

By Brett | October 13th, 2006

A quick aside before we get to this week's predictions: wtf on the mohawk/faux hawk making a comeback in th NFL? We figured that this was just another Chad Johnson attention deficit thing in the pre-season, but it seems to have ...

Is the NFL Entering a New Era of Suckitude?

By Brett | October 12th, 2006

We have a very short commute to work. Walkable, in fact. When we're too lazy to walk, which is about four days a week, we often find ourselves getting caught listening to the Herd on ESPN Radio in the car for a few minutes. Thi ...

Parcells Stinkpalms TO

By Brett | October 10th, 2006

A friend just sent us this little nugget of wisdom about the TO vs. Philly game, which, apparently is still a top news story: According to those close to Cowboys players, Bill Parcells was hell-bent on ensuring Terrell Owen ...
