Motorsports Alone Should Draw the Guys

I am not a huge motorsports kind of guy.  Sure, I’ll take in a live NASCAR event and I rarely miss the opportunity to see a custom or antique car show but I don’t go out of my way to see these events.  Things I would never miss would be events like the  Superbowl, World [...]

NFL WEEK THREE Madness

Someone pinch me because this was one bizarre week of football.
1.

Ronnie Brown!  I really can get anything else out of my pie hole other than Ronnie Brown.  He has been plastered on my Fantasy Bench since the beginning of the season and then BOOM 30-some odd points of production against the Patriots?  Where did that [...]

NCAA Football Picks Week 3 (actually it might be 4 technically)

Well, did well again last week.  4-1 with a season total of 8-2.  This week looks pretty tough though so here we go.
GAME 1
Alabama v. Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR
This is the SEC opener for both teams.  Bobby Petrino would like to do nothing more than avenge last year’s loss to BAMA.  The most important battle [...]

NFL WEEK TWO Madness

There were a lot of interesting results this week.  Some of them were shocking and some just down right ridiculous.
1. The Denver v. San Diego game was outstanding.  Denver just blew out San Diego in the 1st Half with Brandon Marshall having a huge game in his return.  Then San Diego had a monster comeback [...]

Life After Tom

For the first time in a long time the NFL is Bradyless.  I’m not sure what I’ll do.  I might pace back and forth sucking my thumb.  Then again I might just kick and scream and throw stuff at the television.  No, actually I’ll sit in my favorite chair with a sandwich and beverage and [...]

NCAA Football Picks Week 3

GAME 1
Kansas v. South Florida in Tampa, FL
Kansas QB Todd Reesing is leading one of the top offenses in college ball against a very tough and disciplined USF team.  USF is also a very tough team at home.  The difference in this game will ultimately be weather the Kansas defense can stop the USF running attack [...]

The Chicago Ships are Sinking

The SS Cubs and SS White Sox are lost at sea and fans are fearing the worst.  Both ships are taking on water and neither skipper is sure how to stop the ship from sinking. 
Ozzie answer is “Paws Up” and “Tighten your belt but if it isn’t already you’re too late.”  Now I am not [...]

NFL WEEK ONE Madness

The first week of games are just about in the books and I know it was one to talk about.
1 – Brett Favre in his return as a NY Jet.  It was a memorable a game as he led the Jets to a 20-13 victory over the rival Dolphins.  Now that he is no longer [...]

NCAA Football Picks Week 2

GAME 1
Miami v. Florida in the Swamp
The Hurricanes are making a bit of a comeback under new coach Randy Shannon.  Almost half of the programs players are new guys (freshman, transfer, etc.) so it will be another rough season, however they are on the right track.  The have a test this Saturday against in-state powerhouse [...]

A College Frenzy to Open the 2008 Football Season

Thanks to DishTV and the 250 channel package I was able to catch almost all of the football games this past weekend.  Let me tell you guys, all that football and beer and pizza was a dream come true.  The only thing missing was a half-naked waitress to serve me during the games. 

Negative aside, the games were fun [...]
