Is this a Catch?

Is this a Catch?

MikeWallaceAndGromit - November 30, 2016

Welcome back, sports fans, to another edition of Is this a Catch?! Often times we highlight amazing feats (or near feats) of athleticism, but this past Thanksgiving week of football saw one particular subtle play go mostly unnoticed. Keep in mind the following was ruled not a catch during the game.

First off, a belated hat's off to The Maestro and his Redblacks for their victory in last Sunday's Grey Cup, a victory 40 years in the making, and in the same spot as their last one. Both involve a pretty memorable touchdown too. In an 8/9 team league, hopefully it doesn't

Actually not a bad week for highlights. Granted, overall fan spirits should be higher with the election being over (or not) and Big Food Holiday going down during the three Thursday games. It was also JV Rivalry Week and, as much as I wanted to include some items from such

I'm having a hell of a time starting the intro for this game-not because it doesn't have its merits but because as I type my wife is cooking bacon. Is she making a BLT? Perhaps a chicken club sandwich? My mind is reeling at the possibilities. Umm, there's only 4

“Man, This F*#&!-ng Show” – A Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - November 28, 2016November 28, 2016

Congratulations AMC, I think I might be done with this show. The pacing this season seems to follow games of chance. There have been only two episodes really on point; the rest seem to just be travelogues of places to visit in the zombie apocalypse. It's like someone got zombie Rick Steves and

King Hippo - November 28, 2016November 27, 2016

Christ, the Denver game sucked. Turns out you can't really play without a right tackle. Or sentient special teamers. You can only fuck yourself in the ass so many times without permanent damage. Eventually, even the Chefs will take advantage. The Ravens beat the ded Bungles today,

KC/Den-I love this sort of game. The D's on both teams are so much better than the O's they're facing. The first OC or qb to find a weakness (this will probably take some time) will end up winning this tilt. That's if the D's don't end up waging a

Even in a pretty miserable year—and let's not kid ourselves: this has been, by any measure, a pretty miserable year on the global scale—I've got a lot to be thankful for. Most of all, of course, there's my beautiful fiancée lady snow, to whom I became formally engaged this past

Let's get right back up on that horse, commenters-TO THE GAMES! Sea/TB-The Good for Tampa? The Bucs have won 2 straight. Seattle has to fly across the country for the third time. Qb Winston has been playing well of late. Tampa is only one game out of first in their division. The

So much sports of all kinds the last few days. I woke up this morning thinking that it had to be Monday and it was time to go back to the grind. That realization that one has another day off to do as one pleases is an exceptionally rare gift
