There I was, a grown ass man, on my knees two feet from the television. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in this position, maybe twenty years. It’s funny how desperation can drive a person all the way to the fetal position. Jets paraphernalia lay strewn about the room; anything I could throw [...]

National Football League Blogcast, NFL BlogcastOf all those players who were unfortunately snubbed for the 2009 AFC-NFC Pro Bowl (and there will always be a bunch), San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has to be the most glaring omission. I mean, be serious. Philip leads the entire NFL ...

Sure, Pro Bowl malfeasance has occurred for decades and each season a deserving player gets left off and a non-deserving one gets in. There are plenty of egregious cases, but I submit that Favre beating out Pennington is one of the most blatant examples of Pro Bowl beauty pageantry we've ever seen.

That's what I've been trying to figure out since I first saw the list of NFL Pro Bowlers released by NFL.com today.The obvious answer is that he's Brett Favre and he's getting the "Cal Ripken treatment," being considered an All Star more for his past achievements than for what he's done this ...

Congrats to all the deserving Jets for their selection to this year’s Pro Bowl. I would love to say our QB deserved this nod, but the fact is it’s kind of embarrasing. I almost want to apologize to the rest of the NFL for the spot.Phillip Rivers, Chad Pennington & Big Ben all deserve the nod ...

Of all the Pro Bowl snubs — John Abraham, DeAngelo Williams, Philip Rivers being the most egregious in my eyes — there’s one in particular that stands out to me. It’s not so much that Wes Welker made the Pro Bowl because I do believe he’s deserving over All-Star-type accolades, but I’m wondering how [...]

The playoffs are approaching, and Week 15 kicked off what I consider the most important three weeks of the regular season. Just like any season, there are plenty of teams on the bubble going in, and Week 15 is when you start seeing the pain kick in, as teams on the cusp of the post season have their hopes crushed. Hope the Trekkies can enjoy this one.1. Improbable AND Impossible...

It's
that time of year again! Yes, it's time to pick apart the NFL Pro Bowl
selections. Many players, who seemed to be deserving ONCE AGAIN got
snubbed. I understand that it's difficult to select everyone who is
deserving, but some just see mind numbing. Where is Dallas Clark? How
about Philip Rivers? Matt Cassel anyone?The
list goes on and on...and on...but today...
