Deion — Not Dead Yet or Even Retired, Apparently — Defends Michael Irvin

By Peter ⋅ December 1, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Did you know that Deion Sanders is not only not dead and gone, but actually still plays professional football in the NFL? How bout that? And not only does “Please Don’t Call Me Neon, Call Me Prime Time” still play in the NFL, he had an interception this past Sunday.
But having Chris Berman and […]

Phillip Fulmer: Underachiever and Not So Proud of It

By Peter ⋅ November 29, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

The recruiting pitch is already under way at the University of Tennessee.
Head coach Phil Fulmer sent out an e-mail today to some 38,000 season ticket holders acknowledging the craptacular nature of the Volunteers’ season and that Tennessee “grossly underachieved offensively, and special teams were erratic at best,” according to the AP. The other UT’s […]

Super Bowl Halftime Entertainer Announcement

By Peter ⋅ November 28, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Holy Hell!! Why didn’t anyone tell me they were going to announce the Super Bowl 40 Halftime Entertainer at halftime of this week’s Monday Night game? Sweet Jebus, I’d have had a party if only I’d have known!
Can you imagine the possibilities? I’m all atingle. I mean in 2004 there were 40-year old titties, and […]

The Provincial Report

By Peter ⋅ November 28, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Because out here in the provinces in addition to preferring our rap slow and chopped, our sausage barbecued, and our vice presidents to be extra Machiavellian, we like our NFL players to be Longhorns. And so:
The Detroit Contingent was on national TV, lost depressingly, and got their coach fired. Still, Roy Williams caught 3 for […]

Dead Pool Schocker: Mariucci, Not Capers, First to be Fired

By Peter ⋅ November 28, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

In an odd move the Detroit Lions fired head coach Steve Mariucci and “some of his assistants,” reports the AP. Rumored to be getting the ax on Friday, Mariucci survived the weekend — I assume Matt Millen didn’t want to interrupt his terducken and chardonnay coma — only to be served his papers late Monday […]

You tell Me Which Job is Harder

By Peter ⋅ November 27, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Good QBs in this year’s NFL:
Carson Palmer, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Jake Plummer. I would guess they’re there without much argument. And then plus you’ve got the likes of Drew Bledsoe, Eli Manning, Marc Bulger, Byron Leftwich, Michael Vick, Mark Brunell, and Matt Hasselbeck. You’ll get some who will say no to […]

Fat Kid Does Good

By Peter ⋅ November 24, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Someone reminded all time NCAA career rushing leader and all around professional bust Ron Dayne that he plays in the NFL, is a running back, and that running backs are allowed — nay, are supposed to — run the ball.
Dayne rushed for 98 yards on just 7 carries in Thanksgiving’s other NFL game, giving […]

Your Chauncey Update for November 24, 2005

By Peter ⋅ November 24, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

In Detroit’s emphatic 114-89 victory that ended Denver’s 4-game winning streak, Chauncey Billups had 16 points and 11 assists. He also had a sweet reverse lay-up while falling to the floor.
And in the first quarter of the Falcons-Lions game defensive end Chauncey Davis recovered Shawn Bryson’s fumble. “Don’t Pick on” Vick & Co. went down […]

John Madden’s Quasi-Official Web Site

By Peter ⋅ November 23, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

OK, so it’s a page on espn.com, but how else are you gonna be able to keep track of where the Madden Cruiser is?
Incidentally, Madden shares a birthday with, among many others we’re sure: Haley Joel Osment, Mandy Moore, Don Meredith, Omar Sharif, Max Von Sydow, and Harry Morgan.

Samkon “The Nigerian Vaguely Troubling Dream” Gado

By Peter ⋅ November 22, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m still not convinced he’s not a Hobbit, but Samkon had himself a vaguely troubling dream of a game this evening: 10 carries for just 7 yards, which will really hurt your yards-per-carry stat line. He did have that nice 30 yard reception in the first half, though. So his mom and dad can point […]
