Mangold gets waxed on Jimmy Fallon
Nick Mangold is the man. Pro Bowl center. Man’s man. Jets fans are lucky to have him anchoring our line. On Tuesday night, he was a special guest as part of Jimmy Fallon’s “Wax On, Wax Off” segment. Looks like a lot of fun. Mangold takes it all like a trooper. What a likable guy. [...]
VIDEO: “Free Sean Payton” rap video hits the Internet
We haven’t weighed on on the whole “Bountygate” scandal since first grumblings. We may not. In the meantime, some aspiring Bayou rappers are trying to rally the troops to “Free Sean Payton.” Haven’t seen this powerful a rallying cry since the students of Eastside High protested the imprisonment of Mr. Joe Clark.
VIDEO: USC Seau tribute
Junior Seau is gone. His legacy will live on. We’ve learned not to speak to much beyond a player’s on-field career (when we really don’t know much from anything). With that said, the video below feels appropriate in spirit given what we’ve read about the man. RIP.
Why is there a Kirk Cousins-RGIII debate exactly?
What the hell is everyone talking about? I usually can see the value in opinion pieces penned by most members of the media. The manufactured crap around the “horrible” and “controversial” nature of Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins joining the Redskins simply baffles me. It started when I read the following SEO headline a [...]
NFL draft jargon translation
I’ve long loved the draft. So, even with little time to tune in, it was bound to grab me for at least a few moments here and there this weekend. I haven’t even had the time to digest the Jets picks, let alone break them down. We’ll see how the week goes. What I can [...]
Five Teams That Might Make Sense for HBO’s Hard Knocks
I love me some Hard Knocks. Had a crush since its debut with the Ravens and, despite a brief hiatus, I still can’t get enough. I won’t rehash the reasons why the show is so phenomenal. If you’re a fan, you already know. If you haven’t been convinced as yet, it’s likely not going to [...]
Where the gold is gold, and so is the yellow
The Worldwide Web was filled with ugliness yesterday after the Steelers unveiled their atrocious throwback uniforms and bloggers rushed to express dismay and also explain how their eyes had been violated by the ugly soaked new garments. While the Steelers uniforms are especially horrid, I don’t hold it against them too much. What can they [...]
Trent Richardson goes back to Senior Prom (with cancer survivor)
Warning: I’m a sap…and this got me as much as anything has in awhile. You wanna judge me? Go right ahead. Trent Richardson will likely ink a contract for many millions next week, courtesy of an NFL team that holds one of the the first precious picks in the NFL Draft. The Alabama star helped [...]
Sacha Heppell chased his dream to be first male cheerleader for Denver Broncos
It’s a brave new world people. Go out and chase your dream. For Mo Isom, it was to become the first female placekicker for the Bayou Bengals and Les Miles at LSU. Sacha Heppell wanted to be a Denver Broncos cheerleader. So what that he’s a dude? Alas, #156 was not called. History will continue [...]
Tony Romo never misses a sponsorship opportunity – even in the delivery room
When I was growing up way back in the 90s, Starter was the shit. Look for the stars and you’ll find sta-sta-Starter. Whisper it with me… Starter doesn’t have the same cachet today. However, the brand does have one high-profile NFL endorser to their credit – Tony Romo. Romo signed a blockbuster deal back in [...]
