Brad Johnson is a Good Choice…eh…Not Really

Categories: asides

Yep. That’s Brad Johnson, your new 2008 Dallas Cowboys quarterback. Does anyone remember this guy winning a Super Bowl? Because I sure didn’t. That Super Bowl winning Tampa Bay squad will go down as one of the least memorable squads of all time, if anyone remembers to put them on the list in the first [...]

The Trouble With Tribble

Categories: asides

Pro Football Talk is reporting that the San Diego Chargers are signing journeyman DT Ian Scott , and they will in turn be releasing rookie cornerback DeJuan Tribble. This is a sad day for Chargers fans (okay, not really) as well as Star Trek fans around the world. I first noticed Tribble on draft day [...]

Pro Football Talk is reporting that the San Diego Chargers are signing journeyman DT Ian Scott , and they will in turn be releasing rookie cornerback DeJuan Tribble. This is a sad day for Chargers fans (okay, not really) as well as Star Trek fans around the world. I first noticed Tribble on draft day when he went in the sixth round, and I immediately took an interest in the young man with the same name as the furry, uber-reproductive creatures made ...

I Hate You, Joey Harrington

Categories: asides

Ex-Lions/Dolphins/Falcons QB Joey Harrington was signed by the New Orleans Saints today. He’ll be backing up Drew Brees and Marc Brunell (he still plays?) while he learns the new system.
And, of course, Harrington found this to be the perfect time to take a cheap shot against his former teams:
“When I say it’s going to be [...]

Ex-Lions/Dolphins/Falcons QB Joey Harrington was signed by the New Orleans Saints today. He'll be backing up Drew Brees and Marc Brunell (he still plays?) while he learns the new system. And, of course, Harrington found this to be the perfect time to take a cheap shot against his former teams: "When I say it's going to be a great fit, I think it's in all areas," Harrington said. "You've got the weapons, so you're going to win some games. You've got a great coach ... Read More

Pocket Protectors?

Watching Donovan McNabb sit in the pocket for a good ten seconds tonight, I realized that a great name for a top-notch offensive line would be The Pocket Protectors. How ingenious!

Athletic Play in Colts-Bears game
Who the heck leaps like that? I know the video quality is really bad but you can still see the Colts defensive lineman leapfrog the lunging blocker. Flippin’ hilarious to watch over and over again. And the thing that kills me is that none of the commentators said a single word [...]

Tom Brady Out for Season?

Categories: asides

Yahoo! News is reporting that Patriots’ QB Tom Brady is OUT FOR THE SEASON with a torn ACL. Obviously this is huge news for the Patriots, their fans, and their opponents this season.

Yahoo! News is reporting that Patriots' QB Tom Brady is OUT FOR THE SEASON with a torn ACL. Obviously this is huge news for the Patriots, their fans, and their opponents this season. I still expect New England to win their division but the push from Buffalo will increase tremendously and there will be huge shoes to fill for Matt Cassell. This is a perfect case of regression to the mean, and this leaves many analysts scrambling to change their pre-season Super Bowl ... Read More

A lot of times you hear like brachial plexus and all this stuff. It used to be, you know, my shoulder's hurting me, now then it became a brachial plexus. I'm still back in the 'his foot hurts-era'."
