Which NFL fans have the toughest job?

Drew — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 22:09:27 +0000

It’s widely known that I am a Detroit Lions fan. Every year for the past 20 years has ended in disappointment since I have yet to cheer for a Super Bowl champion. Off season after off season has been filled with hopeful draft picks and free agency signings, but usually all of [...]

Brett Favre Bids Farewell

Drew — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:52:23 +0000

Congrats on a fine career. Being a fan of the Detroit Lions for about 20 years, I have watched Brett Favre’s competitive passion for the game on a regular basis. I haven’t been much of a fan because he played for a division foe, but I’ve always respected him. Here is [...]

Should the Pro Bowl leave Hawaii?

Drew — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:29:43 +0000

I think that the Pro Bowl could have a lot more luster if they rotated it amongst the NFL cities just as they do with the Super Bowl. Hawaii is too far away and too expensive to visit for most NFL fans. The NBA All-star game garners a fair amount [...]

Manning Commercials, Year 2

Drew — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 21:02:06 +0000

Last year it was Peyton, this year it’s Eli. What a difference a year makes. This time last year, Eli was a bust and a goat. Fast forward to 2008. Now he is starring in a “League of Clutch”Gatorade commercial. It’s actually, pretty cool. Maybe because he isn’t talking. LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr2gReheoNw

Did the Redskins and Falcons gamble too much with their coaching hires?

Drew — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:55:34 +0000

The Atlanta Falcons and Washington Redskins hired Mike Smith and Jim Zorn respectively to be their new head coaches. Neither is a household name and neither seem to address their teams immediate need from a head coach. The 2007 season was horrible for both of these franchises. Both were effected by a player [...]

Defense Does Win Championships

Drew — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 03:07:19 +0000

Congrats to the New York Giants for winning a great Super Bowl! Looks like my reverse psychology work. New England Pick = New York Giants Win. I was never sold on the Patriots all season. They destroyed the basement teams, struggled badly against the mediocre teams and were really fortunate against the tougher [...]
