Before every baseball season, you can always count on the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, Mets, Cardinals, and any National League West team vying for the post-season. The NBA has sixteen playoff spots so unless your team has a very frugal owner and/or players that are more concerned about how many tatoos and videos they can produce, then you’re […]

Before I start I’d like to mention that since my daughter has been born, Led Zeppelin has reunited, the Steelers have gone undefeated, and the Penguins have signed their new arena lease, assuring the next “Save the Pens” rally won’t occur until 2049.
This is the best time of year to be a spots fan. […]

The Todd here with the weekly Top 10 Power Poll update, this week brought to you by Dr. Seuss:
1) Indianapolis Colts (3-0). Last week: 1
Give the ball to Addai,
Then watch Indy fly.
This weekend vs. Denver
Could be a preview of December. 
2) NE Patriots (3-0). Last week: 2
Brady hits Moss,
Another TD toss!
Cincinnati’s defense is meat,
Monday night they won’t need to cheat.
3) […]

Losing is a disease.
Naturally, a team shouldn’t be giving up hope in only Week 3 if they are 0-3, but it is a big enough hole to start wondering if you have the right tools to get out of it. Some teams do and might even make the playoffs, but most end up facing reality that it is […]

The Todd here with the weekly Top 10 Power Poll update:
 1) Indianapolis Colts. Double duh. Last week: 1
2) NE Patriots. Belichik, aka The Big Sleazy, won’t let this team be distracted by *anything,* even a cheating scandal or Randy Moss’ latest game-time nap. The Pats made it look easy against the Chargers. Last week: 2
3) […]

The season is still very early to begin adjusting your Super Bowl picks, and you still can’t make too many rash judgements on a team’s success or lack thereof. But, there are some teams that had were tagged with very low expectations going into the season and suddenly they are raising some eyebrows. Green Bay, […]

I’ve never seen a bigger one-game improvement than the Browns 44 point increase from week 1 to week 2. What amazes me most after the Browns’ first two games is that Charlie Frye was named the starting quarterback after training camp. How does that happen? How did Cleveland so badly mis-judge his talent? […]

I don’t put a lot of stock or give much attention to Week Two results like a lot of naive sports fans and media “experts” do, but I do enjoy seeing who is getting a strong start and who is struggling out of the gate.
This season hasn’t been too kind so far to the likes of New Orleans […]
