Earlier this afternoon I was involved in an intense Facebook comment thread discussing Ray Rice’s domestic abuse case and the punishment he deserved from the NFL. Later in the afternoon the Baltimore Ravens announced that they had terminated the contract of Rice. In that thread the question of why sports leagues should be able to […]
Last season we had a special guest preview of the Dallas Cowboys season by Shannon Kelly. But this year it’s on me – which means you’re still going to get the passion, because I love the Cowboys, but you’re not going to get the in depth thoughts that Shan shared. The New Triplets 20 years […]
On Saturday May 10, 2014 history was made in North America when Michael Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the 7th round of the NFL draft. With the 249th overall pick the Rams took the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and have added another young player to what has already been […]
NFL Championship Weekend is here! Tomorrow will feature the New England Patriots vs. the Denver Broncos at 3pm in Denver and the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle at 6:30pm. With the Super Bowl looming in New Jersey, 2 of these teams are so close they can taste it. The fun part […]
Week 7 is here! And to be honest, I wasn’t ready for it. I missed my pick on the damn Thursday game! And that sucks because it was pretty much gonna be the Seahawks all over Cardinals 100%. However, I’ve got to move on. And before we get to the picks this week, keep these […]
Happy Thanksgiving Canada, and happy Week 6 to everyone! This week I got back on track by winning the Thursday game – I’m sorry Giants fans… I really don’t like you because of the whole divisional rivalry thing – but 0-6 hurts bad. Speaking of hurting… after a good start to my pool season I’ve […]
Welcome to week 5! To start, I need to confess that I am not happy about losing on my Thursday night pick for the first time this season. It sucked. And it sucked even more for the Bills who lost the game and quarterback EJ Manuel with an LCL sprain… Next, I need to express […]
I know, I know – it’s Sunday already and I have been slacking. BUT, the picks are in and I’m ready for some football! For the 4th week in a row I picked the Thursday night winner and I now have 34 wins on the season and sit in 2nd place in my pool, just […]
Week 3 is here and while the action kicked off Thursday night in Philly… there’s a lot more where that came from. For the 3rd week in a row I picked the winner in game 1 of the week. Congrats to coach Andy Reid on his 3-0 start in KC and his successful return to […]
It’s here! It’s here! This season I wanted to do something special for the start of the NFL season and the Cowboys campaign to make it back to the promised land. So I reached out to my friend and football aficionado, Shannon Kelly, to write the Dallas season preview. With a big win in week […]
Week 2 is underway. I don’t know if you caught last night’s game in New England. But if you didn’t let me tell you that it ended the exact way you thought it would… the Patriots won. And I picked them. The rest of week 2 goes on Sunday and Monday with a more balanced, […]
Yes, I know, the NFL season started last night in Denver with a weather delay, a tight first half and then Peyton Manning showing the world that he’s still one of the best QBs in the game. 7 touchdowns ain’t nothing to sneeze at. That’s HUGE! Anyway, I didn’t get a post up with my […]
I know that the end of August means the end of summer. So generally we all try to squeeze every last drop out of the month. Kids aren’t especially keen on heading back to school (for the most part) and after Labour Day we’re stuck waiting for Thanksgiving to get a long weekend. However, there […]
The time of year has come to say goodbye to the week to week grind of the NFL season. It’s a happy day and a sad day. But mostly a happy day. It’s the Super Bowl! One of the greatest spectacles of the year and watched on TVs all over the world. The pre-game show, the […]
Hey there friends. It’s been about a month and a half since I wrote the 2012 NHL Lockout Survival Guide on Day 1 of this unhappy time for hockey fans. And now that we have had the official announcement that all NHL games have been cancelled through November 30, I think it may be time […]
