Super Bowl Ads: A Super Bore

By GibbyZee ⋅ February 4, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Whoever gave the green light to the ads during the Super Bowl should be fired immediately in the morning. Clean out their desk and escort them from the building because there was nothing to justify $2.7 million for any of those 30 second spots.
In the pantheon of Super Bowl advertising, 2008 will go down as […]

By oddJoe ⋅ January 14, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The New York Knicks, who came into last night with all of nine victories this season, soundly defeated the Detroit Pistons 89-65. Read about it here if you don’t believe me.
The Pistons shot just 30% from the field and missed a franchise low for points scored by one thanks to a three-pointer by Amir Johnson […]

Detroit Wheels Martz Out Of Town

By oddJoe ⋅ January 3, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Another losing season and another coaching change for the Detroit Lions. Surprise, surprise. This time around, it’s offensive coordinator Mike Martz who takes the fall, because it was totally like his fault that the Lions went 1-7 down the stretch to finish 7-9.
It has been seven long seasons in the Motor City since Matt Millen […]

Kyle Orton: The Ubermensch Is Back

By oddJoe ⋅ December 10, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Put yourself in the shoes of Lovie Smith for a moment. Your defending NFC Champion Bears are 5-8 and out of the playoff picture, your starting QB Rex Grossman is out the rest of the season with a sprained knee, what would you do? Turn the ball over to Kyle Orton, exactly.
Mr. Neckbeard did […]

Miami Dolphins: Four Losses To Go

By oddJoe ⋅ December 4, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Last night the New England Patriots faced their toughest contest of the season. Trailing in the fourth quarter to the Baltimore Ravens (!), the Pats needed a desperation 73-yard drive in the final three minutes for a touchdown to keep their unblemished record intact.
The Miami Dolphins, this week, faced perhaps their most winnable game of […]

A Little Ray Of Sunshine?

By oddJoe ⋅ November 9, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

It must be great to be in brand marketing. All you have to do is come up with new names for things that suck so that people won’t think that they suck anymore. Instead of Shit Sandwich you decide to call it Bread ‘n Stuff and people will love it.
Such is the case with […]

Darren McFadden Sweepstakes Leaderboard

By oddJoe ⋅ November 8, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Arkansas running back Darren McFadden is quickly climbing up the charts in terms of the 2008 NFL Draft. The junior speedster put up 321 yards against Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks on Saturday, bringing his total to 1,314 yards and 12 TDs for the season. If he decides to go pro after this year, he shouldn’t have […]

Glenn Dorsey Sweepstakes Leaderboard

By oddJoe ⋅ November 2, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s probably far too early to say who will be the #1 pick in the NFL college draft next Spring, but the small snippet of text free to view from ESPN Insider claims artful draft board dodger Mel Kiper Jr. has put LSU defensive standout Glenn Dorsey at the top of his list. Sounds good […]

NFL’s Worst: Who Will Pick First?

By oddJoe ⋅ October 21, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Here we are in Week 7 of the NFL season and we already have a pretty tight race at the bottom of the standings to see who will be first to the podium in the 2008 NFL Draft.
The Miami Dolphins and the St. Louis Rams are both winless and leading the way, but the […]

Monday Night Football: The Legal Issues Are Complex

By GibbyZee ⋅ October 16, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

It is true, the legal issues surrounding Mike Vick, the pending federal charges against him for dog fighting, and the Atlanta Falcons’ attempt to recoup about $20 million in bonuses paid to their former star quarterback are all very complex. So much so, that a 24-hour TV sports channel could probably devote an entire one […]
