Colts Down the Patriots

I was planning on writing another Rookie Review tonight after the Colts-Patriots game, but this was too good to pass up.  I’ll be up front here, I hate the Patriots.  Actually, more specifically, I hate Bill Belichick and I hate Tom Brady.  I don’t hate them as much as Weller does, but they cheated my [...]

Friday 5 – Best NFL Pass Rush Duos This Year

It’s a little over half way into the NFL season and so for this week’s Friday 5 I’m looking at the most successful duos in the league at getting to the quarterback. I’m on a trip out in Santa Monica, California so you’ll have to forgive me for making this quick. It’s pretty straight forward: [...]

Draft Update – Week 9

It’s the Tuesday draft update (preempted by Sammy Sosa).  The Rams didn’t play and the Bucs got into the win column.  Did that shake things up in the draft order?  Let’s find out.

Draft Update – Week 8

Rams win! Rams win!  Season over.  Call it all off.  Unbelievable.
I’m speechless.

Great rivalry games coming up this week. A couple of teams could disappear from playoff contention with losses this week. The NFC East lead is at stake also. The Colts look to go 7-0 and the Rams and Lions play in the Stink Bowl. Let’s get to the picks.

More shaking at the top, but hey, that’s the NFL for ya. The best teams belong at the top, the worst at the bottom, and those with various different holes in their squads move around the most. That’s the deal.

Draft Update – Week 7

Weller and I actually drove to St. Louis and scalped tickets for the Rams-Colts clash on Sunday.  On the way, I predicted a 41-3 finish.  I wasn’t too far off when it ended 42-6.  I should have had more faith in Josh Brown.  We devised a new scoring system as well.  For every touchdown the [...]

This will be a Hit ‘n’ Run version of the picks with College Football, NBA, MLB World Series and Midnight Madness NCAA Basketball upon us at the same time. My head’s about to bust.
Let’s get right to the picks.

2009 NFL Ranking Formula (Week 6)

I finally got back-to-back weeks with my power ranking formula. With the Saints beating the Giants we are with one less undefeated team, which is making things more and more interesting. This also leaves us with that question that always seems to be asked: who will the last unbeaten team be? The Vikings and Broncos [...]

Big shakeup this week, but before we go overreacting (as ESPN hacks are doing), let’s keep things in proper perspective: there are 4 elite teams, 2 on-the-cusp teams, 18-20 middling squads and then the dredge of the NFL follows. The rankings dictate this.
