COWBOYS FAIL 1st GRADE MATH TEST: 14 - 3 = 11

gibby

Before I get started, let me clearly point out that the better team won. There were a few critical mistakes made by Dallas that might have given them the opportunity to win this game with the word ‘might' being the key. As I said in my analysis, the Cowboys would have to play a perfect game to have a chance and they clearly did not. The Patriots deserve all the credit for winning this game.

I don't think anyone had any notion that the Cowboys [...]

The Colts 5-0: Who the Hell Cares?

gibby

All the talk of the league is the Patriots and Cowboys yet flying quietly under the radar are the Indianapolis Colts. What? The Colts? Yeah, those Colts. And trust me, they are loving it.

For what seems like the past decade, Peyton Manning and the Colts have been the highflying media darlings and carried that pressure until they finally shook the ‘big game’ monkey off their backs last season with a convincing Super Bowl win over the Chicago Bears. You can&rsquo [...]

Rams at Dallas: Cowboys Biggest Test of Season

gibby

Yeah, you heard me. The Dallas Cowboys are facing their biggest test as a team this weekend when they host the Saint Louis Rams. Yes, those Rams. The ones without Steven Jackson. The ones with Marc Bulger and his two broken ribs. The team that is 0-3. Those Rams.

This may seem like the dumbest thing I've ever written and if you have been a regular reader, you know I have written some dumb things before. How could the Rams even pose a threat to Dallas?

Bears Offense is TOAST

gibby

Just about everyone in the windy city, and for that matter almost the entire national media, has clamored for Rex Grossman's head and this week, it looks like their wish was granted. I really think they are all looking in the wrong direction.

Bears fans can officially start commiserating with Ravens fans at this point. Face it, whether you are a Bears fan or not, it's painful to watch an amazing defense be wasted by an inept offense but that has been the situat [...]

Dallas to Tank: Guns are OK Here!

gibby

Tank Johnson is officially a Dallas Cowboy and he’s lucky to land in a State that loves them some guns! Yee haa. After tripping up with the law and with the league over gun issues, Tank Johnson will be able to relax in Texas, possibly even discussing the merits of a Glock 24 with fellow team mates and the local citizenry.

The right to bear arms aside; this is a great deal for both parties. Tank will arrive, following his NFL mandated suspension, right around the tim [...]

The Patriots Caught Cheating: BFD, Get Over It

gibby

OK, so the Patriots have been caught cheating with a video camera on the side lines. So what? Seriously, what is the big deal? I agree, it's cheating and the Patriots and Belichick deserve to get popped for it but we're not exactly talking Watergate stuff here.

So enough from you Patriot haters already. All teams try to steal signals. Why do you think coaches cover up their mouths when they call plays? Do you really think no one has ever tried to steal s [...]

NEWS FLASH: Lions 2-0, Hell Freezes Over

gibby

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers are undefeated, 2-0, to lead the NFC North. The Bengals score 45 points but lose to the Cleveland Browns. Oh but wait. There's more! The Houston Texans are 2-0 and are tied atop the AFC South with the Super Bowl champ Colts. That is amazing enough but they are only a few points behind them in scoring for the season. That is jaw dropping.

Remember that team that grinds out the clock with run after run? Well, the Pittsbu [...]

Michigan Falls on Grenade to save Ohio State

gibby

"This is truly one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for us," said freshman special teamer Jason Orbott. Jason plays for the Ohio State Buckeyes. "We expected a really tough battle this year in the Big 10 and now thanks to the generosity in Ann Arbor, it looks like we just have to worry about Wisconsin now."

This has to be the most disastrous fall in the history of sport, barring maybe that "agony of defeat guy" who eats it on the ski j [...]

AFC Pimp-Slaps NFC...Again

gibby

Yep, sad to say but its true and I'm an NFC guy! After a sluggish start, it took a whopping 4 drives in the second half to pimp-slap the Saints out of their "we're contenders" day dream.

Truth is, despite the league's effort for parity, the good teams in the AFC are just better than the great teams in the NFC. I am hoping I'm wrong, honestly but I just don't see it.

Who do you think will stand up? The Bears? Certainly, [...]

OLD TIME FOOTBALL. Putting on the foil coach.

gibby

OK, so it's dead week in the NFL. Fantasy drafts are done, final roster cuts have been made, we're all sick of preseason games. Face it; we're all dying for the Colts to unload on the Saints. AccuScore gives the Colts a 72% chance of helping the Saints to start the season 0-1. I could care less about Kelly Clarkson, Faith Hill or John Mellencamp. I don't have a clue who "Hinder" is. I just want to see some damn football already.

I'm sorry, but I just [...]

Michigan chokes. Tiny Nation of Appalachia takes to the streets in celebration.

gibby

The scene was pure chaos today as the tiny nation of Appalachia took to the street in jubilant celebration after defeating the Michigan Wolverines with two blocked field goals. Pandemonium reigned as tens of thousands of Appalachians waved their national flag and sang in some language I don’t know. Even neighboring countries like Freedonia and Udorkistan celebrated along with their Appalachian allies.

For those of you who don’t know, Appalachia is a tiny, former Soviet natio [...]

7 Things the NFL must change now!

gibby

OK, what's wrong with the NFL? Before you read on be sure you read my previous post about everything that's right about the NFL. Not only is football a great sport but the NFL is the best run league in professional sports. Bar none. But even the greatest have some room for improvement so here goes...Roger, I hope you are taking notes. Only too happy to help. By the way, did you get the fruit basket we sent you? The little plastic wrapped biscotti dipped in chocolate are to die f [...]

The NFL Kicks Every Other Sport's A$$. Deal with it.

gibby

The NFL is the greatest sports league in the entire world. Period. Please don't whine to me about baseball when the most exciting thing that could happen in a game is that one team gets no hits. The NHL seems to do more to shoot their sport in the foot than to help it. Soccer? Are you kidding? My theory is that soccer is popular because you can not really pay attention to the game at all while you are drinking and singing then lookup at the last minute [...]

I am a hypocrite. And so are you.

gibby

I'm a hypocrite. And so are you.

OK, so I'm relaxing and watching a little TV, the NFL Network to be exact. Which reminds me, it would be nice if they had a few other shows on the network. Seems its either replays of past games, training camp footage or Deion Sanders and Steve Marriuchi, neither of whom does all that much for me. Since our offices are rightup the road from the NFL Network, I'll happily volunteer my services. But I digress, which [...]

Your Team Sucks A$$. I'm Talking to You!

Technorati Profile

I feel your pain. Your team sucks, every year, year after year. You get your hopes up in the off-season only to watch them be dashed by week 7. Every year it's a new coach, a key free agent, a top draft pick and each year you think "we're on our way" and each year it's the same old story. Maybe you have a decent year and think steps are bing made and thenthe next year it's back to 5-11 and despair. I actually think tho [...]
