NFC East (non-division games — AFC West and NFC South) Dallas Cowboys — There’s really no other way to put this: the Cowboys are officially becoming the porn star or stripper that’s kind of getting unofficially too old. They still make good money to the point that it kind of fools people into believing that [...]

AFC East (non-division games — NFC South and AFC South) Buffalo Bills — Quite honestly, everything with this team begins and ends with Dick Jauron. Yes, the Bills acquired an ’01 version of a Nissan Altima in Terrell Owens (somewhat reliable, lots of mileage on it, when it acts problematic it becomes pretty expensive) and, [...]

Because I’m feeling a little under the weather I’m not going to attempt the detailed 5,500 word breakdown of Super Bowl 43 scheduled to kickoff today, II/I/IX. Instead, I’ll just say that the Steelers are going to win 34-14 and give you three points as to why I think this. 1) Cardinals offensive coordinator Todd [...]

Some thoughts on the 2008 NFL and college football season, some suggestions and theories on how best to improve both the NFL and NCAA football seasons going forward, and some predictions on how the game might change in the upcoming decade.

I’ve held off writing my NFL preview/prediction post because I, like the rest of America, was unsure of where Brett Favre (“Favre” is French for “The Almighty” in case you didn’t already know) would land and now that it has finally been sorted out I can lumber on with my preview. In years past I [...]

I realize that, as a Bears fan, calling Brett Favre a dickbag probably assumes that this post will be a one-sided, jaded affair. And it is one-sided but I think it is a side that almost no one brings up lest they commit the awful sin of criticizing Mr. Favre (as we speak, the Vatican [...]

My earliest recollection of watching sports was the 1985 NFC Championship game in which the Bears were shutout 23-0 by the eventual Super Bowl champion 49ers. I do not remember anything about the game specifically other than it was a shutout and my parents were disappointed that the Bears had lost. For all I know, [...]
