I’ve noted many times that the NFL Combine is the most overrated event in sports when it comes to gauging talent, yet every year I get caught up in what a guy runs or what a guy jumps or what a guy throws (combine studs that probably went a bit high: JaMarcus Russell, Donte Stallworth, and jus...

Writing makes a difference. Show some love to the writers in your life this week, and pray that they give you work like this: Instead of work like this: I’m sorry to whoever was involved in this… but I’m just not feeling it. And to top it all off, I was watching an episode of The O...

I was talking to my good friend and constantly pessimistic Cleveland fan Howie tonight, and the call ended with something it rarely ever does - slight optimism. For context, I'll share a voicemail that Howie left me and that I still have saved from October 2004, when the Indians were officially elim...

The guys over at www.sports-uncut.com have done it yeat again.  They've pissed off more people than the Rodney King verdict did!  I don't know how, but they have! Get over to the site at www.sports-uncut.com and read the latest couple of posts, in particular the post entitled: "Why the Rooney Rule...

Bowl Week, bitches! It feels good knowing we get to watch the Huskers play on New Year's Day.

The NFL Pro Bowl rosters have been announced, and like every year when these things are announced, there’s already a big uproar of who’s been snubbed and who doesn’t deserve to be there. You can get both the NFC and AFC starting rosters here and figure out who you think got snubbed...

Cleveland is awful and their offense hasn't scored in 16 quarters, but everyone just stay calm. You don't hear Braylon Edwards crying about it. He even caught five passes for 100+ yards on Monday night. Yet, the guy still heard boos during the Browns' 20-point loss. What gives? I could care less abo...

It was a good week, and there’s a lot of questions left as to who will be playoff bound in 2008. Dallas and Tampa Bay have the edge in the NFC, with Atlanta and Philly a game and a game and a half behind, respectively. In the AFC, the Jets, Pats and Dolphins all battle for the East. Indy leads...
