Back to Business for Bears after defeat of Broncos

Written by Boomer | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Bear Goggles (Bears)

Sorry gang, as I’ve told people lately, I feel like an accountant during Tax season.  This is definitely my busy time of the year.  Had the first of 3 fantasy drafts tonight, so I’ve been slacking a bit in gushing over the latest Bears victory in Jay Cutler’s triumphant return to Denver as the Bears [...]

Written by Tim Redinger | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | BuffaLowdown (Bills), FanSided, NFL

Since the Bills seemed to be married to the No-Huddle, which this time around means no offense – I seemed it a fitting Motivational Poster topic.

Written by AZScott | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Raising Zona (Cardinals)

The Arizona Cardinals made their cuts to get to 75 today.  They had until tomorrow to get it done.
Included in the cut to 75 was the waiving of Michael Ray Garvin.  I liked what he brought to the table.  He was a quick guy who unfortunately found himself injured early on in camp.  His injury [...]

Written by AZScott | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Predominantly Orange (Broncos), Raising Zona (Cardinals)

The walking wounded around Cardinals Camp is going to start to resemble a M*A*S*H unit soon if they aren’t careful.  More injuries were reported today from the headquarters of the football team of the southwest.

Crown Gems: Zack Greinke is Good and Dayton is Sticking Around

Written by Wally Fish | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Kings of Kauffman (Royals), MLB

The day after Zack Greinke proved, yet again, why he is arguably the best pitcher in all of baseball, Dayton Moore’s rumored contact extension took a more definitive shape.  The timing of Dayton’s extension is fitting, since his contract extension with Zack is one of the true bright spots thus far in his tenure as [...]

Written by The Dirty Bird | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Blogging Dirty (Falcons)

We are three weeks into the preseason and so far the falcons have given up an average of 185 passing yards per game. Is that awful? No but it is not good and I want to see the Falcons address it, and address it it appears they want to do too.  So let’s focus on [...]

No Excuses Needed

Written by Dan Zinski | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)

When Brett Favre announced earlier today that he thought he might have a cracked rib, the door was opened for a few cynics to suggest the veteran quarterback was merely lining up some handy excuses should he stink up the joint in his first (and likely only) extended preseason appearance of the year.
These cynics – [...]

For the Marlins, the playoffs seem far away

Written by michaeljong | August 31, 2009 | Comments Off | Marlin Maniac (Marlins)

Rob Neyer has this to say about the NL Wild Card as we head into September:
Speaking of the wild card, there are really only five teams seriously involved in the conversation, which seems to happen most years and makes me skeptical when “people” say the wild card results in a big attendance boost. In the [...]
