Written by gnbishop | January 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Titan Sized (Titans)

This won’t be our typical game preview-style post, but here are a few things that you need to know for your Super Bowl experience. You provide the nachos, we’ll provide the knowledge.

Sure Pittsburgh is great against the run, but how much will that actually matter against the Cardinals? Listen, there are few adages in the [...]

Super Bowl XLIII Preview: Steelers vs. Cardinals

Written by Chris | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Nice Pick, Cowher (Steelers)

I know you’re thinking, “Oh great, more analysis!” One of the drawbacks to reaching the Super Bowl is every blogger with an internet connection, every talking head on ESPN, every newspaper columnist still toiling in a dying medium, pretty much anybody vaguely aware of a game called football decides to provide their insights on [...]

Officially Snubbed…. Twice!

Written by Matt DeLucia | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Musket Fire (New England Patriots)

For the love of god, will someone tell me why these two are being over looked once again. Who am I referring too, it’s Matt Cassel of the New England Patriots. And Chad Pennington from the Miami Dolphins. Two players that belong in this years Pro Bowl game. But for some strange reason [...]

Steeler Gal In Bodypaint & Other Stuff

Written by Chris | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Nice Pick, Cowher (Steelers)

That’s what I call Feelin’ Kinda Sunday.  Why aren’t these girls in those NFL ads?  I’d rather see them than a bunch of sad lonely fantasy football nerds crying about their lack of success.
If any ladies happen to watch this video, please let me stress that something like this would be appreciated FAR more than [...]

Bills in Toronto considered a success

Written by Tim Redinger | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | BuffaLowdown (Bills)

In his annual state of the league address, NFL boss Roger Goodell called the Buffalo trip north of the border to be a success, given the fact that the goal is to regionalize the team, and that is exactly what happened.
What makes me swallow hard about this was this statement by Goodell:
I met with the [...]

Predictor

Written by Joe B | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Ebony Bird (Ravens)

This should be a good game. Hopefully.  If the game this year is even close to as exciting as last year’s, it should be great.  I’ve decided that I will watch it, at a campus party we’re having here in Piscataway.  Here’s my predicted rundown of the game:
7-0: ARZ-Warner hits Tim Hightower in the backfield, [...]

Cardinals Hardly A Fluke

Written by AZScott | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Raising Zona (Cardinals)

Finally.  This is the type of nut I’ve been looking for.  It was bound to happen. First, as the playoffs began, we had the Arizona Cardinals being called the worst playoff team ever.  Then they beat Atlanta.  Then that was called a fluke and given no chance against Carolina on the road.  Now there were believers.  [...]

Chad: “I Missed Me This Year”

Written by David | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Stripe Hype (Bengals)

Good segment on NFL Network with Chad Johnson. It sounds as if Ocho Cinco may finally be getting it. Highlights:

“I’m going to be a Bengal for a while” based on conversations with people inside and outside the organization, and that he will “do what I can do” to get the Bengals to the postseason.
“We will [...]

Will Steelers Win? Obama Sez “Yes They Can”

Written by Chris | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Nice Pick, Cowher (Steelers)

That’s President Barack Obama stating his choice for the winner of Super Bowl XLIII. This shouldn’t be surprising considering Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney’s tremendous support during the election. Even without that support, I doubt he’d want to support a team from a state that didn’t even vote for him.
Nice pick, Arizona.

Coaching Changes and McNabb Speaks About His Future

Written by Scott | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)

With the Super Bowl nearing, the Eagles are making changes and headlines. Here’s a sampling:
James Urban is the Birds’ new QB coach, replacing Pat Shurmur, who left to become Offensive Coordinator for the St. Louis Rams. Ex-signal caller Doug Pederson (remember him?) will replace Urban as offensive quality control assistant.
Rory Segrest is shifting to coach [...]

King Carl Should Have Used Google Earth

Written by Adam Best | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)

King Carl could never find a young franchise quarterback for the Chiefs during his 20-year tenure. Maybe he should have used Google Earth?
If Swiss Police can find a field full of Mary Jane on GE, maybe it’s the way to go. Do you think the Swiss Police could use it to find us a pass-rushing [...]

Bucs Lose Key Contract Negotiator

Written by Sec119RayJay | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | The Pewter Plank (Bucs)

The Rams have hired a key member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers front office, Kevin Demoff, to be their new Executive Vice President of Football Operations.   Demoff was a key cog in the Bucs having 40+ million in cap space this summer.  New GM Mark Dominik had targeted Demoff as a key member of [...]

Convincing the Doubters

Written by AZScott | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Raising Zona (Cardinals)

Adam Best, editor and lead writer of arrowheadaddict.com, who also happens to co-manage the Fansided Network with his brother Zach, challenged me and our Steelers lead blogger, Chris, from nicepickcowher.com to convince him, and others, why our respective teams can win this Super Bowl.
My case is published over on msn.foxsports.com/nfl.
Chris makes his case as well [...]

Convicted dog-murderer Michael Vick will soon be leaving the friendly confines of Leavenworth for a halfway house in Virginia, says a lawyer for the former Falcons star who was testifying on his behalf at a bankruptcy hearing.  A second attorney at the hearing told the judge that he expects Vick to “ultimately” be reinstated by [...]

Star Athlete Dumped by a Kardashian

Written by Dan Zinski | January 30, 2009 | Comments Off | Other Blogs, Pacman Jonesin'

Relax gossip-mavens:  Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are still together (and hanging out at Super Bowl parties with noted porn-maven Jared Fogle).  It’s Khloe Kardashian and Timberwolves “star” Rashad McCants who’ve called it quits.  Khloe explained the break-up on her blog:
Hey guys.  I wanted you all to be the first to hear the news that [...]
