10 Key Topics Discussed in Friday’s State of the NFL

The Super Bowl is over and now the NFL offseason begins. On Friday of last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spent close to an hour addressing the media in Phoenix, AZ. The commissioner began Friday’s press conference with what resembled a State of the Union type speech before he went on to take questions from the media. The topics Goodell dove into are ones that can occupy the idle time of NFL fans for the next few months. Goodell said that the previous year has been “a year of humilityRead More

NFL Week 1: The 5 Things We Learned

Pigskin season is upon us. Time for cooler weather, beer, and…. more beer. With Week 1 firmly in the books, let’s review the 5 takeaways.   #5. Seattle Is Still Seattle While most fans around the league are unsure about their team’s future, Seahawks fans are reclining in their La-Z-Boys and laughing at the rest of them. The men from the Northwest (I think that’s in America) came out of the gates sprinting. They made Green Bay look like a bunch of cheese packers. Their defense stunted Aaron Rodgers forRead More
Eww. That was one horrible, one-sided, bore of a football game we were all forced to endure on Sunday. Super Bowl XLVIII, for all its hype and seemingly endless storylines, straight-up flatlined. It took all of 12 seconds and one offensive snap for the Broncos to be on their heels and the Seahawks to be on the attack. And after Manny Ramirez‘s errant snap fluttered over Peyton Manning’s head and into the end zone for a safety, for all intents and purposes, the game was over. The writing was on theRead More
It’s finally time for the moment we’ve been waiting for since August: Super Bowl XLVIII. The Denver Broncos against Seattle Seahawks; the two teams we’ve expected to go this far from the beginning. And while I’ve already broken down the Big Game in detail in another column, I wanted to give y’all some gambling advice for Super Bowl Sunday. I’ll begin by giving you my ATS and Over/Under picks, and then you’ll get the added bonus of getting some suggestions for ridiculous prop bets you can make – such as, whatRead More
It’s that time again, when multiple American sporting events collide to make February ‘National Sports Patriotism Month’ (that’s my phrase, consider it copy written). Allow me to break down the national contests YOU should know about…   1/31-2/2 DAVIS CUP TENNIS: USA VS GREAT BRITAIN Normally I wouldn’t include this event as being something you should check out, since I am the only one in America who ever watches Davis Cup (usually by myself, in a dark room). But these are pretty special circumstances. For the first time in tennisRead More
Dear Women, Super Bowl Sunday is almost here!! For those of you who plan on watching the game but lack football knowledge, read up! I won’t insult your intelligence by pretending there’s a single person out there that doesn’t understand that the objective of the game of football is to get the ball down the field and into the end zone. But let me explain a few aspects of the game that may be confusing to football newbies. The yellow line: Upon receiving the ball, each team’s offense has fourRead More

Super Bowl XLVIII – Breaking Down the Matchups

Alright. So, the dust has settled, the weak have been eliminated, the Crabtrees have been insulted, the Bradys have been bested, and here we are: right where we thought we would be back in August. Broncos vs. Seahawks. The two #1 seeds. The two teams that many have thought were the class of their respective conferences since before this season began. We couldn’t possibly ask for a better matchup: the league’s #1 offense against the league’s #1 defense. The veteran, record-setting QB against the fresh, young swagger of the SeattleRead More
