Iron Bowl Upsets: Fact or Fiction?

The general refrain that we hear this time of year is that when the Iron Bowl rolls around, anything can happen and you can effectively throw out the record books. But is there any real underlying truth to that general notion, or is it really a falsity that people accept just because...

The Madden Curse now applies to real companies with real people who once had real jobs

Arizona_cardinals_v_608f
We all know about the Madden Curse and how it turns a once healthy player into someone as brittle as a toothpick structure. Look at Shaun Alexander. He hurts his foot and seemingly forgets how to move more than two steps without falling down.But once a running joke and eerie string...

The Good, Bad and Ugly Of Week One

WEEK ONE REVIEW THE GOOD JAGS PULLS VICTORY out of the jaws of defeat. Jacksonville didn’t look good at all Sunday. Leftwich didn’t either. But, when it counted, they moved the ball down the field…and made a ballsy call on the 4th down play [with :04 remaining] of tossing it...
 

SPORTZ PLAYOFF PREVIEW

RAMS AT SEAHAWKS They met twice. The Rams won both of them. In the first game, Seattle dominated most of the game…then had a 4th quarter meltdown. In the second meeting…the Rams rushed all over the Hawks. Neither team is particularly good on defense….yet both are pretty...
 

Week 6 Preview

REDSKINS AT CHIEFS. Ahhh...the game that gets the protesters. Alright, let's talk keys. When KC has the ball...they will try their best to pound away with Priest and LJ. They won't be very successful most of the time...but they will bust a few big ones. ...
 

Redskins Will Beat The Eagles

EAGLES AT REDSKINS. Both teams were humiliated last week in "marquee" games. So both enter this Sunday night matchup with their tails between their legs....and one of them will lose again on the national stage. A stage even bigger with the recent T.O. interview in which...
 

I'm Naming Shaun Alexander As My MVP

SHAUN ALEXANDER IS NFL MVP. No disrespect to Carson Palmer, LT or Steve Smith...but Alexander has really carried the Seahawks to an unprobable 7-2 start. If Seattle was smart, they'd lock him up now! LOVIE SMITH IS THE COACH OF THE YEAR: There...
 

Sportz' NFL Awards

OFFENSIVE MVP: Shaun Alexander, Seahawks. If the Seahawks hadn't wrapped up the NFC's home field advantage...Alexander may have realistically reached 30 TDs [he has 27] and 2,000 scrimmage yards [he has 1,885]. When Seattle has a 3rd-and-1....run Shaun...he's gotten...
 

NFL Divisional Wrap-Ups

SEAHAWKS 20-REDSKINS 10 (Sportz 4-1 in playoffs). Hey, I called this thing 24-13...not bad. Despite losing Shaun Alexander very early in the game to a concussion....the Seahawks were still able to execute their gameplan and beat the surging Skins. Despite the...
 

Super Bowl XL???? How about Denver-Carolina

STEELERS AT BRONCOS CREDENTIALS: The Broncos ended the Patriots reign by beating them 27-13 last week. The Steelers stunned the football world by beating the "invincable" Colts, 21-8. ODDS: Broncos by 3 WTF??? Pittsburgh is the first #6 seed...
 

I Picked Pittsburgh.....But I Will Be Rooting For Seattle

I still think the Steelers will win 30-20. But I'm not convinced of it. See, due to monetary concerns....I am now a Seattle Seahawks fan. So, I will be rooting for them in this Super Bowl. To do so, I need to find reasons to. 1) THEY ARE AN NFC TEAM...
 

The New Madden Guy Coming Tonight!

Tonight, on ESPN, EA Sports will announce who will adorn the cover of Madden '07. My money is on the Super Bowl winning QB Ben Roethlisberger....though it could be MVP Shaun Alexander or Super Bowl MVP Hines Ward. Apparantly, Bill Cowher is the "face" of the coaching...
 

Week 8 Review

Let's just start off with my horrific record this year: I went 7-6 this week....and now I'm 69-44 for the season. Aarg!! This week, instead of recapping the games...I want to recap the divisions, just to kind of step back and look...

Bring Holmgren Back?

Seattle_seahawks_v_4516
One of the things that bothers me the most of late is the cries from everyone to bring Mike Holmgren back. Now, don't get me wrong, Holmgren was great for our team. He was possibly the best coach we've ever had (him and Knox). He was not, however, a good GM. Mike Holmgren...

Arizona_cardinals_v_52f0
The following is an excerpt from my contribution to Rocky Top Talk's Maple Street Preview Rocky Top Tennessee. This, my friends, is where rivalry gets weird.  We could sit and talk about how much we absolutely hate each other from sun up to sundown, and yet in the back...
