Back from the homeland & blogging again… Good clock management story today on ESPN from Greg Garber. The column mentions Dick Curl & Herm Edwards at one point, which gives me reason to re-quote my favorite story from the 2009 season. Is there a less encouraging sight than Dick Curl excitedly imparting information to an [...]

NFL Playoff Line Pick’em Challenge

I suggested over a few beers at the Castle a NFL Playoff Pick’em Challenge here at Miracle Covers. Basically for 10 bucks, you pick ALL of the games’ lines and compete against the other players for the best overall record thru the Super Bowl  (11 games, total) for the pot.  There is also a side [...]

Week 17

KC +12 @ Denver Got this in the second just after McDaniels benched Scheffler AND Marshall for a game (now @ +10), they need to win to have any sniff of the playoffs.  How this team even made the 7 win under/over total a sweat after starting 6-0 makes me wanna puke.  So does the [...]

Week 15 Ramble Drill

We start the week with this mantra I learned from Eric Mangini’s interview with NFL Network this week: “Sometimes punting isn’t always a bad thing” (you know that’s a shot at BB). Herm Edwards’ advice for Tiger Woods Thanks to Brian Billick, his adjective for Jay Cutler, “Jeff Georgish”, is now going to be an [...]

Light links this week…picks I’m going to lose money on this weekend. Worst Date Ever (serios). Complete with MS Paint NSFW Imagery. The story above references a pee bottle, something I’ve never heard of, but Stuttgart GK Jens Lehmann could have used one last week. Former Ravens coach Brian Billick compared Jay Cutler to Jeff [...]
