There were plenty of big story lines this week. SportsCenter will play all of them on repeat for the next 72 hours. But if you want to get the scoop and avoid seeing the "Discount Double Check" commercial 63 times (and not the good one with B.J. Raji), allow us to break down the highlights and low-lights of week 5, in a way that only the Chicks can. Let's Hit it and Quit it, people! Hit It Even with a losing record, Drew Brees is still breaking records. How fitting that he broke the original "#19" Johnny Unitas' record for consecutive games with a touchdown to the Saints' #19, Devery Henderson. Quit It The Patriots/Broncos game almost lived up to all the hype. That is until Willis … [Read more...]
Thoughts on Round 1 of 2012 NFL Draft: Meh…

For the first time in a long time, the NFL draft bored me. In fact, I was annoyed that I chose to watch the draft live and DVR Community instead of the other way around.

According to a survey run by CouponCabin.com (I know, I know...but just hear me out), 20% of people said they would miss a loved one's funeral if their favorite team was in the game. (Say what?!!!) 21% would miss an important work responsibility and 20 percent would miss the wedding of a close friend. (If someone cares so little about the Super Bowl that they would plan their wedding on game day, are they really worth being friends … [Read more...]
Drew Brees: One of NFL’s Most Liked Players

He's got a winning smile, boyish charm and an enduring birth mark. What's not to like about Drew Brees? Apparently not much, according to Forbes Magazine. Brees was voted one of the NFL's most liked players. No surprises there. After all, who could resist this photo of Brees and his son Baylen after the Saints' Super Bowl win? Brees was the only player on the list I cared about, but there were other notable mentions, like Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, the Steelers Troy Polamalu, Lions Defensive Lineman Ndamukong Suh, Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson and Colts QB Peyton Manning. Here's a list of the others, if you're into that sort of thing... … [Read more...]
