College Football Picks - Week 10

I feel the need to take this opportunity to gripe about this week's schedule. The Thursday night games are N Illinois vs directional Michigan, Temple and Miami OH, and VT at ECU. Did MLB bribe ESPN to show crappy games during Game 7 of the World Series because MLB needs the extra...

Green_bay_packers_c890
Before we get to our normal picks post, we'd like to give a huge MAZEL TOV (well, at least that comes from Jeremy, the resident member of the Tribe), to Brien, whose wife gave birth to son #2 on Wednesday, October 28. We do note with sadness that Brien did not follow our advice...

College Football Picks - Week 9

Last week, I guess I was just hoping for excitement and picked a bunch of underdogs to keep things close or give us some upsets. Instead, I got a 1-6 week for my trouble. So I'm back to .500, and refocusing for better results. Too bad the slate of games this week is pretty poor...

Redskins Head Coach Zorn Is Demoralized and Must Be Fired

Kansas_city_chiefs_e9c1
I don't think Jim Zorn reacted the way Vinny Cerrato, Danny Snyder and the Redskins had hoped. The team said all the right things after Zorn was named the "head coach for this year, maybe longer", but his demeanor reveals that his reprieve is not appreciated. In tonight...

Paul Tagliabue was Wrong About Jacksonville

One of the greatest pleasures in life is saying “I told you so,” even if it’s 16 years later and the target is retired.  So here goes: Paul Tagliabue, you were wrong about Jacksonville, and I told you so. In 1993, when the NFL decided to expand from 28 to 30 teams, five...

NFL Picks - Week 7

Green_bay_packers_1f2a

Splashing Cold Water on 'Skins Fans

A popular sentiment amongst Redskins fans all day long on sports talk radio has been that somehow if we can force Dan Snyder to sell the team, things will get better. After all, people reason, he must be in reasonably dire financial straits given how he's been hemorrhaging money...

The Most Wonderful Weekend of the Year

Halloween is quite possibly my second-favorite holiday all year. You can gorge yourself (relatively) guilt free into a diabetic coma, girls dress in provocative (read - slutty) costumes because it is socially acceptable, and it's just all around a good time. This year Halloween...

This offseason, Brad Childress earned widespread praise for converting the creepy moustache into a respectable beard. Seemingly determined to remain the subject of ridicule, even at the helm of an undefeated team, Childress has insisted on wearing a special headset instead of the standard...

Maryland to the Big East? An Examination.

Over the summer, there was some idle chatter about the possibility of Maryland moving to the Big East. Such a move couldn't take place until 2015, at the earliest.As a lifelong Marylander and proud Terp, my initial reaction to this was shock and horror. Maryland is a charter member...

Minnesota_vikings_v_c589
Wow, aside from maybe two games on the schedule, Week 6 brutalizes us with some horrible football games.  The only thing that could make it palatable for 90% of NFL fans is playing fantasy or having money on the game.  Which is where we come in...Brien (14-11-0)With that...

An Instant "Fix" for the Ravens at Cornerback
