WHERE ARE THEY NOW?  3-4, tied for 2nd, (or 3rd, if you're a glass half-empty sort), with the way too hungover Eagles. WHERE SHOULD THEY BE?  That's probably about where they should be, although they've taken an interesting route to get there.   They lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 1,

FIFA Rank:  1st!  That's really good! World Cup Group:  It doesn't matter, (but Group F), because they'd storm any group like it was Poland in 1939.

FIFA Rank:  6th!  That's good! World Cup Group:  The one with Brazil! (Group E)  That's bad!

Hi There: You may recall that I did two of these last year, and, for some reason, another version this year that I posted on March 26th.  That's a month before the actual draft.  I swore I wouldn't do another, because these are actually a lot of work and I don't

(Never gonna get tired of that shot) You may recall my mock drafts from last year.  I did two versions, with the second going up the night of the first round.  I started off 4-for-4, (in terms of the right player going to the right team; I did not call the

  POINT:  ELI'S BENCHING IS A LOW POINT FOR THE BEST FOOTBALL FRANCHISE EVER By Paul From Staten Island I've been a fan of the New York Giants ever since I can remember, although admittedly my memory has been rusty since I saw that one guy, you know who, doing that one

Typical Cowboys Fan:  "What the fucking fuck just happened!?" Rational Cowboys Fan:  "Our star running back has just been suspended for the first six games of the season." TCF:  "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!  WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!??? RCF:  The official reason is that he violated the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. TCF:  What the fuck does that even fucking mean!?" RCF:  The
