NFL 2013 Draft Highlights (Kidding! There weren’t any…)

Since I'm among friends, I'll be honest. Last night's draft was about as exciting as watching my dog sniff for the perfect patch of grass on which to poop. But congratulations, NFL! I watched anyway. The WHOLE damn thing. There was none of the "Houston disses Reggie Bush for Mario Williams" excitement of years past. Sure there was the dejection of Geno Smith, but I'm not such a twisted bitch that I'd take joy in his obvious heartache. (Unless of course he was a Falcons player.) I guess it's something that the number one draft pick is from a no-name school like Central Michigan. I guess.. But is was widely known that the Chiefs had their eye on offensive tackle Eric Fisher.

NFL 2013 Free Agency: It’s Time to Start Caring

free agency players

We're now about 24 hours away from the start of NFL Free Agency's open market, which means we can finally start freaking out about who may be going where (unlike NFL Network and ESPN, who have been freaking out for weeks.) Who could blame us for waiting until the last minute? It's not exactly like last off-season, when we had the "Peyton Manning Sweepstakes" to entertain us. This time around, it's second tier stars like Ahmad Bradshaw and Greg Jennings. They're not exactly Prom Kings but you'd still be excited if they asked you to the big dance. Here's our breakdown of some of the biggest Free Agency story lines so far. Tony Gonzales, Falcons TE: Expected to stay with the team for … [Read more...]

Welcome to the Darkside

There's no getting around the fact that at the end of any football season, fans of only one team will experience that intoxicating euphoria that comes with a Super Bowl victory. The rest of us can hope for apathy, at best. At worst, you'll deal with the painful, repeated kick to the groin that comes with knowing your team very well had a shot and blew it. It's a pain so deep, you almost envy fans of loser teams that never even made it to the postseason because at least they got let off the hook early. It's like choosing whether you want to die peacefully in your sleep or be slowly crushed to death with a medieval torture device. Which bring us to this year's round of divisional playoff … [Read more...]

It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over. Oh Wait, It’s Over.

Drew-Brees

There comes a time in every football fan's life when you have to face certain realities. Realities like, Wade Phillips just isn't going to ever realize how badly he needs to wear a sports bra. It's a fact of life. There's just no way of getting around it. And there is no getting around this: 2012 was a wasted season for the New Orleans Saints. Had the Saints made it into the playoffs (and yes, I know statistically they still can, although they totally won't) we could say that 2012 represented a season of resilience for the Saints. They had one of the most tumultuous offseasons in the franchise's history. Making into the playoffs would have said more about this team's character than any … [Read more...]
