Marriage of Tom Brady to the Dallas Cowboys makes sense only to programmers and producers
February 12, 2020
February 12, 2020
The Cowboys already have Dak Prescott as their quarterback, and Tom Brady is unlikely in the extreme to be tantalized by an opportunity to play for “America’s Team.” No one is his or her right mind believes it is even a remote possibility, so how did this idiotic notion of Brady to the Cowboys start […]
In the wake of Kobe Bryant’s death and Victor Oladipo’s return, the Super Bowl doesn’t seem important
January 30, 2020
January 30, 2020
The Super Bowl is three days away, and I’m thinking about other things. I haven’t devoted a moment of attention to what is a fascinating matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. This is unusual for me. Pouring over video and analytics to try to predict a Super Bowl winner is usually great fun, […]
NFL Brawl primer – here are facts on Browns Myles Garrett helmet swinging insanity
November 15, 2019
November 15, 2019
As the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped a nondescript game last night, something quite descript happened. Browns defensive lineman Myles Garrett took Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph to the ground after Rudolph delivered a screen pass that should have ended the game. Rudolph began grabbing at Garrett’s helmet. Garrett took exception and pulled Rudolph’s helmet from his […]

Here’s what happens when an employee every decision is second guessed – he or she works to be perfect, and perfect doesn’t exist. That’s part of the reason officiating in the NFL continues to erode. Replay expands to pass interference calls, and all of a sudden flags fly all over the field. Penalties are being called 16% more […]
Can we finally stop Idiotic multi-generational comparison debates like “Is Belichick best coach ever?”
October 11, 2019
October 11, 2019
Watching the Patriots roll over the Giants on Thursday Night Football last night, I heard Joe Buck declared Bill Belichick as the greatest coach in NFL history. How the hell does Buck know whether Belichick is a better coach today than George Halas or Curly Lambeau were in the 1920s? Does Don Shula not merit […]
Raiders LB Vontaze Burfict suspended for the year for unrepentant idiocy – his career likely ends

September 30, 2019
When Vontaze Burfict lowered his helmet to hit kneeling Colts tight end Jack Doyle in the head, flags flew. Referees conferred and Burfict was ejected from the game. This morning it is being reported that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend Burfict for the rest of the 2019 season. The NFL has been dragged kicking and […]

Never invite a crazy person to your party; Chapter 49 – Raiders to suspend Antonio Brown
September 5, 2019
September 5, 2019
Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is objectively believed to be crazy. He’s setting a new standard for NFL narcissism, and that’s saying something. Brown reportedly had a disagreement with GM Mike Mayock yesterday that nearly escalated into a fistfight. Because of that, and a short but colorful history of non-compliance with management, Brown will be […]
