Super Harbaugh Rivalry Bros: The War of Jenkins’ Ear

The Maestro - January 30, 2020January 30, 2020

Hey Johnny. Hey Jimbo. You look different this week. You like it? New haircut. Wanted to get it a tiny bit shorter, so that I could improve my ultrasonic hearing abilities. Important for planning those off-season nighttime raids. How right you are, brother of mine. Night vision goggles are for pussies, after all. Remember

Super Harbaugh Rivalry Bros: The War of the Oaken Bucket

The Maestro - January 23, 2020January 23, 2020

Hey Jim. I need some advice. Since this seems to happen to you all the time, I figured you'd be the ideal person to ask. What can I do for you, brother? Well, Jim, I wanted to ask - what's your approach for dealing with getting your ass handed to you on

Super Harbaugh Rivalry Bros: The Pork & Beans War

The Maestro - January 16, 2020January 16, 2020

Nice job last week, Johnny. Living up to the family reputation, I see. Watch it, kid. My season may be done, but at least the Ravens have a bright future ahead - unlike your prospects of returning to an NFL gig any time soon. Look, we may have gotten our asses kicked

Super Harbaugh Rivalry Bros: The War of the Golden Stool

The Maestro - January 9, 2020January 4, 2020

Hi, I'm Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh. And I'm Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. You might recall us as the first pair of brothers to ever face off against each other as NFL head coaches. It's safe to say that as brothers, we're close, but also competitive as hell. Isn't that

CFL Beat: Your 2019 Season Wrap-Up

The Maestro - November 28, 2019November 28, 2019

One last one for you before I go into hibernation in December. Just as well - this one is always the most time-consuming. It's been a pleasure to be your CFL Beat guy once again, and I look forward to these few weeks away. In league news this week: Montreal finally

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Grey Cup

The Maestro - November 21, 2019November 20, 2019

We're almost at the end of the 2019 season - the Grey Cup beckons! As per usual, next week will be the final CFL Beat of the season before I take my December hiatus. I look forward to recapping this weekend's title game for you in seven days from now.

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Division Finals

The Maestro - November 14, 2019November 12, 2019

Last week's games are living proof as to why people love playoff matchups so much; I have to admit that I got things extremely wrong in my predictions last week. And that's ok, because I didn't lose any money - and I also cannot be held responsible for any poor

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Division Semifinals

The Maestro - November 7, 2019November 6, 2019

The playoffs are here! The regular season is over at last. For BC, Toronto, and especially Ottawa, this week couldn't have gotten here fast enough. We've already seen some turnover happen previously this season, but a few other key dominoes are falling now. In league news this week: Ottawa REDBLACKS

Bye Week Update: New England Patriots

The Maestro - November 6, 2019November 6, 2019

[Slow fade in to EXT. - a shabby rowhouse in South Boston.] [Cut to INT. of the shabby rowhouse. Beer cans litter the ground, as a man lies passed out on the floor, snoring.] [A second man enters through the front door, gingerly stepping around the mess.] [Pan to a shot of the

CFL Beat: Week 21

The Maestro - October 31, 2019October 29, 2019

Happy Halloween, folks. Hope your children do well with trick-or-treating... and that you end up stuffing your gullet with all of their stolen candy. Remember, you brought them into this world... it's your God-given right to take their candy as desired, too. As the pumpkins and costumes fade away, we're

CFL Beat: Week 20

The Maestro - October 24, 2019October 24, 2019

We're into the weird bit of the schedule, where half the games remaining are incredibly meaningless, while the other half are incredibly meaningful. This makes watching CFL football this time of year a real coin flip - sometimes the meaningless games are incredible, and sometimes the meaningful ones are absolute

CFL Beat: Week 19

The Maestro - October 17, 2019October 16, 2019

Howdy, folks. Three weeks to go in the CFL regular season. The playoff spots are all locked up, but the question of the West Division champion still hangs in the balance. We've got a big game this week in Calgary between the Stamps and Bombers that will affect things for
