The cell phone was abuzz Sunday night as Racha, HT, and the GM were staying in contact during the course of the game. Was it a nail biter? I was way past my nails and three quarters the way up my forearm. I had a few things in mind.
1. When things get stale for New England they...

Cobra Chronicles: Greatest Halftime Speech Ever
13 days ago by
Cobra Brigade
| Comments
The game starts off a bit wildly as both teams are trying to set the tone. They are playing up-tempo to try to take advantage of our depth issues. We are settling for perimeter shots because our big guy is out. It's probably not the most beautiful game of basketball to watch but...

How to Hit a Baseball: The Landing
17 days ago by
Cobra Brigade

Again, I'm going to try to keep this short and sweet, just like how your stride and 'landing' should be. When you 'coil', your front foot should have either moved towards your back foot or stayed in place (preferred). Keeping the front foot in place obviously cuts...

1. The 49ers have, depending on your viewpoint, surprisingly drafted three or four weapons on offense right now with Frank Gore, Vernon Davis, Alex Smith (?) and Michael Crabtree (?).....is this a team trending upwards for the future or do you see them stuck at the .500 level...

How to Hit a Baseball: The Coiling
October 21, 2009 by
Cobra Brigade
| Comments
Hitting a baseball all about timing. They've actually been talking about this quite a bit during the Yankees/Angels series as Mark Teixeira has struggled and his timing looks off. If your timing is off then your swing is going to be out of whack and you are going to struggle to...
10 Paineful Questions NFL WEEK 6
October 16, 2009 by
Cobra Brigade
| Comments
1. What does a 5-0 team like the Colts do on their bye week? I ask this since we know that struggling teams will look to mix things up by changing QB's, packages, etc what does an undefeated team do?
Sleep, rest, take the week off as best you can by cutting down on practices...
How to Hit a Baseball: What Are You Looking At?

See ball, hit ball, right? Seems pretty simple but so many people either don't focus enough or have a clue as to where they should be looking when the pitcher is throwing the ball towards the plate.Conventional wisdom tells us to just look at the pitchers release point but with...

It had been about a month now since the Dean of my college had asked me to use my last semester of athletic eligibility to help out the basketball team. They had a bunch of guys get injured, a few that couldn't make the grades and they were struggling just to scrimmage at practice...
How to Hit a Baseball: (Head)ing Where?
October 07, 2009 by
Cobra Brigade
| Comments
In simplest terms I'm just going to tell you to not have any head movement while you hit. Yes, your eyes will move, but not your head. If your head starts moving up and down or side to side then it's going to throw off your perception of where the ball is and where the ball...
Peyton Manning is the best player in football. Part II

Its not just what he is doing, it is who he is doing it with and how they are doing it. It isn't that he is surrounded by bad players, indeed, the Jeff Saturday's and Reggie Waynes of the world are legitimate stars. The Dallas Clarks and Ryan Diems are very good. ****, these...
Peyton Manning is the best player in football.

Lots of teams don't even have guys that could legitimately be placed in that argument, and I am glad my team does. Long story short, though, with Brady still a bit shaky and Brees not being tested by anyone other than a Philly team with Kolb and a gimpy Westbrook it is hard to...

Quick update from the Brigade.
The Colts season has kicked off well, not great, but well. Lets face it, that Miami team played the best game they had played in years against the Colts. They executed a flawless gameplan. Manning just didn't feel like losing. When we HAD to...

Ok, here are things people are going to ask you or things that you should look out for so that your wedding doesn't become a nightmare.

With the NFL opening up I want to get back to blogging a bit. I appreciate Jack filling in the gap as I have been out of the game for a bit with my schoolwork and softball schedule really dominating my shedjule (that is "schedule" only with a Captain Picard accent). I...

That picture to the right is of McBias. It's up here for two reasons: 1) I think it's funny as **** for some reason and 2) he's the only blogger I know with more gray hair than me.

What a beautiful swing and a perfect example of 'squishing the bug'. Most people heard about 'squishing the bug' when they first learned how to hit.
Squishing the bug is the rotating on the ball of the back foot after the hips come through. You want to be careful that...

Most of the research I've been reading about hitting is similar but then I ran into the website, The Swing Mechanic. There are 10,000 of these sites all over the net but look at what he's saying:
One of the key positions that the MP30 Training Bat promotes is the Slot position...

The Colts announced that Charlie Johnson, the backup at several O-Line positions, would be moved into the starting lineup at left tackle, replacing the underperforming Tony Ugoh. A lot of things are going well for the Colts right now. The D-Line situation seems to be improving. ...
