Herzlich Tweet Best Out of Indy
Forget media day. Spare me the hype and the Brady-Manning comparisons. Let’s talk about Coughlin and Canton later. Amidst all the nonsense making “news” in the weeks leading up to this Sunday’s Super Bowl, this tweet from Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich speaks the loudest.
Things Are Looking Up For The Browns!
The beloved Brownies have signed a man of great talent to lead their offense. Before you judge too hastily, consider this man’s full arsenal of tools: This obviously changes the balance of power in the AFC Central North. While the Browns still have to catch the Squeelers who are led by a man who can [...]
Giant(s) Love Fest: Eli is Elite
Part three of way too many. I said it. Right in the title. It’s there for posterity. They tell me on the Interwebs, things live forever. So it is, this statement shall remain. Yes, Eli Manning has earned the elite label. And, yes, the discussion of “elite” and the media analysis of such a moniker [...]
Brady Gives Team UGGs, Brilliantly Simple PR
I hate the Patriots. I don’t hate Tom Brady. I think I hate UGGs. I do know one thing. Great PR can be brilliantly simple. As a diehard Jets fan and a communications person by trade, I couldn’t help but stop and smile at the recent tweets indicating Brady had gifted all his teammates pairs [...]
Ray Lewis’s Post-Game Speech
There are plenty of Ray Lewis haters out there. I don’t know enough to judge him as a man. Maybe those who’ve studied his case and all the evidence can and have come to a more informed opinion. They are obviously so entitled. I know several folks, including some in my family, who have forever [...]
Giant(s) Love Fest: “My Boy” Kevin Boothe
My week-long Giant(s) love fest continues following yesterday’s Coughlin celebration. Today, we offer big ups to our main man Kevin Boothe. That’s right. Kevin. Mutha&*^!ing. Boothe. Beeotches. Respect him. OK, so Kevin Boothe isn’t really our boy, but he’s a fellow Cornell graduate. And THAT, my friends, makes him post-worthy. You see not a lot [...]
Giant(s) Love Fest: Tom Coughlin’s Best Coaching Job Yet?
It is often said the measure of a coach is how hard his team plays for him. By that criteria, Tom Coughlin may have done the best coaching job of his career in steering the 2011-12 version of the New York Football Giants to Super Bowl XLVI. If nothing else, the Giants late-season run has [...]
A Giant(s) Love Fest: Prepare for a Week-Long Celebration
It’s time. I’ve never been a Giants-hater, but it’s tough to split your allegiances on New York teams, even if your team of choice isn’t even in the tournament. Yet, as my wife (diehard Giants fan) so eloquently put it last night… “Your daughter has been on this Earth for five months, and she’s already [...]
Best NFL Playoff Interview: Can’t Wait vs. My Quarterback
Playoffs? Playoffs!!?? Everyone knows that clip and Jim Mora is rightfully immortalized for it. But what about two memorable interviews from recent memory and, well, the playoffs! The past few seasons have produced a pair of the most memorable post-game oratory performances in NFL history. One, soaring in victory. The other, whimpering in defeat. Both [...]
Playoff Redemption Song for Niners Smith, Davis
We’re going to write the same exact thing that everybody else is likely saying, writing and thinking this morning. Day-um, that was good stuff from the Niners yesterday. Moreover, good for Alex Smith and Vernon Davis. No, they didn’t overcome life challenges of import. They’re not hungry. They do not have to worry about where [...]
