A hale and hearty "Hullo!" to all my fellow pigskin huffers. Boy, did you ever hunker down to the funkiest spot on the net for the football watching. Say, here's a trivia query: "When was the last time the overall #1 seed was a home dog?" No googling! If memory

I'm only human. Well, that's the excuse I use when I screw up. Not really though but I use that to explain why I almost always cheer for that team that comes out of nowhere and against expectations, plays well or has some sort of uphill battle. Yeah, I've cheered

Here's your first of 11 playoff games to enjoy as the 2017/18 season begins the old wind-down. It doesn't seem on the surface to be that sexy a tilt but one team will advance and the other will call it a day so I guess it's got that going for it.

It's the day before Christmas and lives hang in the balance-well, fantasy lives anyway. Best of luck to all you bastages that made it this far and will win some sweet, sweet moolah. The rest of us will hustle and bustle about, searching desperately for some place, any place that sells

Boots On The Ground: A Vacation Before The Camera Goes Up The Arse

Beerguyrob - November 22, 2017November 22, 2017

So, on November 17th, I was supposed to undergo my second colonoscopy in two months. Because of a previous bout of kidney failure - involving a viral infection, 40 lost pounds, and organ function bad enough to be considered for a transplant - I have been on a five-year cycle of

Discussion: Is this a “signed” book?

laserguru - March 29, 2017

Note: sorry for the rotated images. The book you see in the banner image arrived at my house on Tuesday of this week. I pre-ordered the book about 2 weeks ago. Obviously the book is about the Cubs winning the World Series last year, here's an excerpt if you are interested. The

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.

The Carolina Panthers Bye Week Special

theeWeeBabySeamus - October 25, 2016October 25, 2016

And by "special", I do mean "short bus" special. Let's get this straight right now, I am not a Panthers' fan. So I really don't have a horse in this race. If they never win another game, my only reason to care is that I'll have to hear about it from

Shall we do this? Let's! Pack/Jax-Rb Ivory is listed as questionable but the injury is minor. (I just learned that the league did away with the "probable" designation-where was I?) Rodgers should be ready and raring to go now that wr Nelson is at full health. Word is that rb Lacy's

YEEEAAAHHHHH BOOOYYYEEEEE! I AM SO FREAKIN' PUMPED FOR THIS GAME! (it's midnight somewhere, right?) And I don't even have a dog in this fight. I imagine Bronc/Panthers fans have spent the day peeling themselves from various ceilings much to the consternation of their co-workers/loved ones/friends. I liken this feeling to

Yes, it's the beginning of the vaunted third week of the preseason, when the players that we love/hate play for a wee bit. That is, unless they're the teensiest bit injured. I like to think of it as a teaser for what is to come. Of course, if my team

Free agency has exploded with the force of a thousand overpaid contracts, but there's one newcomer to the league that hit the scene as an undrafted free agent this week. And what a debut it was, with an incredible catch. OR WAS IT? It's up to us, Commentist Party. Is this
