Week 5 Rambling Drill

To start off the week, I give Johnny Knox the DeSean Jackson Award for the most stupid pre-touchdown celebration.  He was lucky Detroit, as Lou pointed out, was in the middle of their “worst 2nd half, ever” and didn’t challenge the play (by rule, if Detroit recovers and the whistle is blown, they get the [...]

I think Brett Favre found a new sponsor

At least he’ll be up to score 25 points for my fantasy team tonight.

Week 4 Rambling Drill

We almost had a miracle cover last week, but it was Jake Delhomme and the Panthers trying to cover the 6.5 as they drove down the field, trying for a meaningless touchdown late in their 21-7 loss to the Cowboys.  This was maybe one of the worst games, if not only the year, but also [...]

Quick preview of next week’s MIN@GB tilt

I guess people in Wisconsin are still bitter.  Especially after what happened Sunday with the Vikes.

Week 3 Rambling Rant Drill

Some thoughts on Week 2, College and Pro: Hey, Houston Texans, here’s a tip: it might be a good idea to cover that Chris Johnson guy (clip starts at around 00:38).  Looks like they need someone who can point this out to them: they need to hire Gus Johnson as their defensive coordinator to yell [...]

Awesome Mad Men parody

If you are a fan of the show Mad Men, or a fan of the Sox,you’ll love this video parody via The Bostonist. The language used is the same I used towards the TV on Sunday as Tom Brady was on his ass….again.  How about some two tight end shotgun, or a halfback/middle screen, Bill! [...]

NFL 2 Minute Ramble Drill

Few thoughts about last week’s games: We had 2 miracle covers on Sunday.  First was by the Baltimore Ravens (-13), who decided to run it in from 4th an inches from the goal line versus Kansas City on Sunday.  The meaningless TD helped them cover, 38-24.  Thanks John Harbaugh (who had to know the line!), [...]

NFL Plays today

Here are my NFL plays: Miami/Atlanta Over 44 I just think this will be a shootout and the most exciting game of the day. Someone is going to win 41-38. Baltimore -13 The real question is whether Baltimore’s offense can cover. KC scoring more than 14 points would be a shock. SF +6/+215 Money Line [...]

Today’s plays

As I myself am on tilt after Chile gives up two goals…….while UP A MAN (WTF!)……..there is an interesting teaser opportunity if you are itching for some action tonight. I am generally not a big fan of teasers, although I am 1-1 so far with last week’s South Carolina (+5.5 @ NC State) and Notre [...]

And folks, our first “miracle cover” of the football season

via Jon Troisi on Twitter (found this via google trying to find the Miracle Covers Twitter lol): “First miracle cover of the year. Meaningless TD run wit 6 seconds left in the Ole Miss/Memphis game.” Boxscore; line was Ole Miss -28
