Stop the Talk about the Saints Leaving New Orleans

Recently, some statements have been made by Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis when discussing whether the Saints would return to New Orleans for the season opener against Tampa Bay and by Howie Long on the Fox pre-game show on this past Sunday. Both of these individuals statements questioned whether New Orleans was a realistic long-term home for the team. I just wanted to say...

Goats of the Game: Marvin Lewis, Carson Palmer

Pathetic. Marvin Lewis fails to challenge a Chris Perry non-fumble. Carson Palmer tosses a red zone pick. Game over. Defense did a decent job, even put seven on the board. But when your "offense" can only produce three points, you won't win many games. Pathetic. Oh, and yeah: the offensive line needs

Caption This

The Bengals are in town. What better way to kick off 'Caption This' than with a picture of Carson Palmer getting laid?

Checklist: Start fast? Yes

I was excited about yesterday's win. Anytime you can get out in front early and stay on top you have to be happy. I said it before, we need to start fast and finish strong and yesterday we did that. What I liked best was that we were able to stay aggressive, convert on 3rd downs, and have success in the Red Zone. We worked hard on those things as a team and it paid off. What...

Eagles Blow Out Rams 38-3

What an awesome start to the 2008 season for the Birds. The Eagles did everything right in this game beat down. The Eagles scored on their opening drive, and never looked back. McNabbulous - Donovan McNabb was the star of the show, as he finished the night with 361 yards, 3 touchdowns, and a QB rating [...]

This picture says it all: Eagles destroy Rams

Sheldon Brown's hit on Steven Jackson was a microcosm for the whole game. Click the link for more on the game.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in Eagles Big Win

Hello Happy fans. This week I'm doing the O write-up and Harv is covering the D. THE O GOOD: Overall? a whole lot of wow. I'm not positive, but I think I saw the first team offense eating cheese steaks after the first quarter. Jackson wasn't able to finish his, but Sean Andrews [...]

WE MIGHT BE GETTING THROUGH

"I think I'm starting to think Carson Palmer belongs in Jay Cutlerville. He hasn't been a commanding presence on the field for some time, I'd say going back to mid-2006, and I'm hard-pressed to think of him in the same league with the top five or six quarterbacks. I did put him there in my top 50 in the SI NFL Preview issue, but after watching him Sunday, I almost...

Birds beat up on Rams in week one

Here's what I don't get: why am I being told to put this week one W over the Rams into perspective? Why does the Philadelphia media think this wasn't as good as it looked? Why do fans call in to the radio shows saying, "It was the Rams?don't go crowning the Eagles the champs quite yet." Since when did the Rams become the joke of the NFL? Are they the Lions, Falcons...

Bengals Bungle Opener in Baltimore 17-10

If Sundays opener vs the Ravens was any indication of how the Bengals 2008 season is going to go, buckle in, it's going to be a long and bumpy ride.  The Bengals were beat up and down by the Ravens defense, falling 17-10 with an offense that was as flat as year old Pepsi.  Carson [...]

The Brady Effect

It's been kind of fascinating to scan the various fantasy football sites and gauge the reaction to the end of Tom Brady's season. Like all things involving Patriot Fan, it starts with coddling and moves right to provoking a desire for face-slapping... and this is coming from a guy that won Brady at auction in my most important league, investing not just a high pick, but 20% of my...

Matt Cassel Woken Up And Told He Has To Do Something Called Quarterback

When Tom Brady went out during the first quarter of their game against the Chiefs on Sunday, Bill Belichick was forced to turn to a new man. A man named Matt Cassel, whose job since high school had been to sleep on the sidelines of football games. Having been the backup to Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart in college, and Tom Brady in the NFL, Cassel hadn\'t started a game since 2000...

Put Quinn In? Really?

So, I realize that the title of this post is really just a bait and switch. I am not even going to sit here and debate this. I just wanted to point out what dummies there are among us Browns fans. It is time to eat our own before they all make us look bad. I was reading the coverage of the Dallas loss and one of the first comments on the article I read stated that the Browns...

It's A Big Day For The Cassel Family

The big story of Sunday was the fall of Tom Brady.  Perhaps out for the season, Patriots fans and fantasy football players alike shrieked in pain over Brady's knee agony.  As bad of a day as it was for the nationwide Brady "family," it was a that good of a day for the real life Cassel family.  Consider newly-minted Patriots starting QB Matt Cassel the Sarah Palin of the NFL.  Drafted...
