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 [...]
Our one play pitch for Melvin Ingram to Jets
The New York Jets have the #16 pick of the first round of the 2012 draft. Go to a different mock on a different day, and you’ll see all sorts of names being tossed about. We know one thing. Rex Ryan loves him some Melvin Ingram. Nothing gets the Jets hefty head man more pumped [...]
Stupid NFL pre-draft coverage/hype
We’ve entered the point of the NFL off-season I like to call the Stupid Zone. It is my understanding that the best way to evaluate college talent is to watch them play football. Whether that be the scouting staff watching live games or breaking down hours of tape showing how player X did in game situations [...]
Cleveland Browns fan letter to team
Mike Polk Jr. is a comedian. He is also a longtime Cleveland Browns fan. Humor and sadness often make delightful bedfellows, as our own Erie’s Scribe has so often illustrated to all of us (P.S. He is “off the Browns” until post-draft, so please respect his decision). You see, being a fan of any Cleveland [...]
Tim Tebow’s arrival best-case scenario for Sanchez
Mark Sanchez couldn’t ask for anything more than Tim Tebow’s arrival in New York. No, I am not joking. There could not be a better scenario for the Sanchize to prove he’s the man for Gang Green (or not) once and for all. Enough with the coddling. Let’s drop the talk about “feelings.” This is [...]
Tebow heading to Jets…three stages of reaction
Holy sh*t. Tebowmania is coming to Manhattan. Lawd, give us strength. The Jets have traded a fourth round pick and a sixth-rounder to Denver for the Messiah and seventh round selection. Or the most over-hyped quarterback in the history of the NFL. Or a great football player. Or a terrible excuse for an NFL signal [...]
LaRon Landry and his massive guns on way to Jets
LaRon Landry and his massive pipes are coming to the Big Apple. The Jets, who’ve been scarily silent this offseason, snatched up the former ‘Skins safety on a one-year deal. The move comes as the pool of available safeties all but evaporated in front of their eyes. So, what to make of it? Not much. [...]
Hillis gone to Chiefs, good riddance
One year ago at this time, I would have said there was a .005% chance of me ever writing the headline (and certainly not in one year’s time), “Hillis gone to Chiefs, good riddance.” Yet, here we are on the eve of March Madness, and that thought is the first and only thing that comes [...]
Laurent Robinson pulls off mega-heist?
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Laurent Robinson to a five-year, $32.5 milllion deal on Wednesday night. Good for him, I guess? What’s that? Who’s Laurent Robinson? Good question. I myself had to search the mental rolodex for a few seconds before recalling to myself…is that the kid on the Cowboys who had that one stretch last [...]
Brandon Marshall changes Twitter avatar to rep Da Bears
Brandan Marshall is undoubtedly a gifted wide receiver. He’s also wildly inconsistent, prone to the dropsies and just may be certifiably nutso. Regardless, he’s now on his way to Chicago to reunite with Jay Cutler and the Bears. Who knows how this will turn out. We do have to give Brandan some credit, though. He [...]
