NFL Divisional Championships: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Once again, this weekend, we get a game that could very literally end with a final score of 3-0 and a game that could have a combined score of more than 70 points. Welcome the AFC and NFC championship games.
When I logged into the site to get geared up for this weekend, I got an [...]
Divisional Playoffs, Part 2: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
So the Cardinals have game — and a run game at that. Of course, who really needs a balanced attack when Larry Fitzgerald can do whatever he wants on the field and you benefit from more than five turnovers?
Looks like the Buzzsaw is bound for the next round, so who will get you there in [...]
Wild Card Weekend, Part 2: Sunday’s Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
After a day’s worth of exciting, close games, Sunday is all about defense. The Ravens, Dolphins, Eagles and Vikings have all made a habit of getting after the quarterback and stopping the run.
In a playoff setting, I don’t think we see a lot of points today unless the Vikings or Eagles blow it open.
Baltimore Ravens [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 16: How much do you hate DeAngelo Williams?
Seriously, how much do you hate DeAngelo Williams right now?
Many a game was won or lost off the play of DeAngelo Williams Sunday night. While I thought he’d keep rolling as he has been the past several weeks, I didn’t think he’d get more than two touchdowns, and I never dreamed that he would get [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 16
Nick’s picking solo once again this week as everything starts to get sketchy here at the end of the season.
Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys
Ravens (+4) over COWBOYS
This game could decide who gets into the playoffs. It’s tough to pick against Dallas at home, but I do think the Ravens are the better team and more [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 15: I’m all out of love, so lost without you
It was hard to bring my thoughts together between fits of extreme sobbing after watching all the football games in a very serious, totally masculine way this weekend.
Yes, I lost at Nick’s hands this week, one game away from the championship … in a game where I was “projected” to win by 50 points.
Thank you, [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 14: Game balls and last-quarter falls
I’m convinced that there is something in the water in Denver. If you’re in Colorado, don’t drink it. Just dump it down the drain and walk away. It must contain a chemical that turns your muscles into paper. How else would Shanahan lose four running backs in the same season — five if you count [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
What was happened to the NFL this weekend? After the miserable Tennessee Titans clobbering of the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys butchering of the Seattle Seahawks, I thought at leas the Thursday Night Football matchup of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals might be mildly interesting.
Of course, I thought it would be mildly [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 12: What happened to my weekend
As you might have guessed, my weekend didn’t quite go as planned. You see, I got a new day job in Dallas — and no, it’s not as backup quarterback for the Cowboys despite the fact that Brad Johnson didn’t put up much of a fight.
If you’d rather skip the story and get straight [...]
Week 12 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
I don’t even know why I am awake right now at 6 a.m. on Sunday.
Actually, that’s a lie. I’m awake right now because I am infused with truck stop coffee, the kind of coffee that fills you with enough energy to punch a wall with your head … twice.
Needless to say, it’s been an eventful [...]
