It goes without saying that Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are two of the best quarterbacks in football. You could make the argument they have been the top pair of signal callers over the last two seasons. With this in mind, there’s a better than average chance that whoever doesn’t win Super Bowl XLIV will [...]

The most popular interview at Super Bowl Media Day wasn’t Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Jim Caldwell or Sean Payton. No, it was Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney. Specifically, his swollen right ankle. Surrounded by a gaggle of media from across the globe, Freeney’s bum body part faced a flurry of pointed questions about its health [...]

The NFL Pro Bowl is a joke. Can we all agree on that? Even if we can’t, I’m not about to stop trashing the dumbest All-Star game in all of sports. The players don’t give a shit about it and the media’s fruitless attempts to deem it relevant are laughable. Despite what Commish Rog Goodell [...]

They might not always get the pub they deserve, but point guards run the show in pro basketball. Studs like Kobe, LeBron, Melo and Dirk are able to dominate night in and night out due in large to the little big dudes who distribute the ball. Remove point men from the equation and what’s left [...]

I’m of the belief that firing projectiles into people’s faces via Nitrus-powered contraptions should be made into an Olympic sport. It always tickles my fancy seeing some dumbass kid willingly allow his friends and family to use his own mug for target practice. While perusing nonsensical hilarity on YouTube, I stumbled upon this winner that [...]

This will come as no surprise to anyone who has ever heard Jets coach Rex Ryan speak, but the man sure does enjoy dropping F-bombs. Especially when his team just upset the San Diego Chargers to advance to the AFC Championship game. Nuthin’ rallies the boys quite like a good string of foul language. I [...]

Donovan McNabb ain’t going anywhere. Eagles fans just need to accept it and move on. Even though they’re stuck with 5, that doesn’t mean they haven’t stopped dreaming up all sorts of wild and wacky trade possibilities. One that’s already become passé is McNabb for Julius Peppers straight up. Sounds logical. Cats need a QB [...]

Now that the pesky Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs is out of the way, we can settle in to watch the big boys on the block scrap. The fraudulent Bengals and Eagles have been vanquished, as have the overrated Patriots and Packers. It’s go time for the best of the best. Who among [...]

We watch pro football for lots of reasons. Fierce competition. High drama. Superbly gifted athletes. Oh, and devastating hits. Contact sport, collision sport, call it what you want. Football is all about smashing bodies into bodies. It’s the ultimate test of physical will; one that thrives on intimidation and punishment. I’ve seen countless of crushing [...]

(Fantasy Football Fiasco is your be-all end-all review of the week that was in fantasy football. Oh, and a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with fantasy football.) An end to the NFL regular season brings with it the demise of another fantasy campaign. You are either basking in the glow of championship [...]

Another decade is in the books. Naturally, everyone is rolling out their “best of” lists because that’s the thing to do before the calendar flips to 2010. It’s not very original, but for those of us who enjoy basking in nostalgia, it’s a great way to relive some of the finer moments from the previous [...]

(Fantasy Football Fiasco is your be-all end-all review of the week that was in fantasy football. Oh, and a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with fantasy football.) Parting is such sweet sorrow. Alas, we bid farewell to another fake football season. Life just won’t be the same without endlessly debating whether to [...]

(Fantasy Football Fiasco is your be-all end-all review of the week that was in fantasy football. Oh, and a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with fantasy football.) Playoffs! Yes, Jim Mora, I’m going to talk about the playoffs. Well, the fantasy playoffs anyway. Maybe you’re like me and lost in the semi-finals [...]

Cheating in sports is as American as apple pie and corporate downsizing. In an ultra-competitive, kill or be killed business, some are compelled to take extreme measures to gain an edge. The allure of being the best and staying on top can sway even the most successful sports figures to put aside good judgment and [...]

This is a few years old, but I still found it amusing. The Detroit Pistons performed a sterling rendition of the Yuletide classic “Jingle Bells” back in 2006. From my experience, athletes singing usually equals comedy gold. The star of the video is without a doubt, Rasheed Wallace. Between his herky-jerky dance moves and his [...]
