Stay Down, Brett

Injury report or not, there was no way anyone was keeping Brett Favre off the field last night. Not when he was ‘jonesing’ as hard as he was for one last bit of Monday Night glory. Just as there was no way Leslie Frazier, who is trying to get that coaching gig full time, or the NFL which...Full take »

Air Date:
Hester To The House Again

I’ve been talking recently about how this is the year of the kicker. Well, it was the weekend of the return man. And not that we didn’t already know that he was the best ever, but Chicago’s Devin Hester made it offical last night. In fact, last night’s game felt liked a condensed version...Full take »

Air Date:
NHL Showcase Showdown

Sometimes I hate being right. And last week when I burned that Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin would appear on The Price is Right…I nailed what would happen within 5 bucks of the actual retail price. I said the alleged most dramatic moment in daytime television, the showcase showdown,...Full take »

Air Date:
Catastrophic Choke Job

Was it an amazing comeback by the Eagles or a catastrophic choke by the Giants? Both. Of course. Giant’s punter Matt Dodge is taking a lot of heat this morning. Let me get this out of the way. The guy should be taking heat. There is no reason he should have kicked that ball to DeSean Jackson....Full take »

Air Date:
Why Would You Kick It To This Guy?

Of all the places I could start ... I have to start with the biggest play of the weekend... Maybe the biggest play of the season, and certainly the most spectacular play. Let's just call it "The return." I don't think I’ve ever seen that kind of speed in the open field, or that kind...Full take »

Air Date:
Tebow’s 1st NFL Start

I just burned on it on Friday- it was time for the Denver Broncos to toss the keys to Timothy Richard Tebow and see what he could do. And they did. And what do you know- Timothy didn't fall on his face. In fact- he looked pretty good. He looked like a rookie quarterback getting his first start...Full take »

Air Date:
One Of My Favorites Of The Year

Don’t tell me that Thursday night blowout was a waste of time. That San Diego’s beat down on San Francisco was a zero. That was one of my favorite games of the year; forget the score that was a joke. Almost as big a joke as the Niners hosting a playoff game at 7-9. I’m not talking about...Full take »

Air Date:
It’s T.R.T. Time

Interim Denver Broncos coach Eric Studesville still isn’t saying whether or not Tim Tebow is going to get the call against the Raiders Sunday. Respectfully, E, I’m not sure why you’re sweating this one; you’re not getting the gig full time regardless, so put the guy in and let’s see...Full take »

Air Date:
Sickest Kick For Last

The last card in WEC history ended with the sickest kick in MMA history. Yeah, I said it. It went down in the fifth round of the main event; Anthony Pettis v. Ben Henderson’ Check out Pettis’ taking flight, kicking off the cage and articulating Henderson’s face with his foot! Incredible!...Full take »

Air Date:
Dagger Of The Year

I burned yesterday that Blake Griffin had the Dunk of the year. So this has to be, the dagger of the year! Paul Pierce, with the step back jay over Amare Stoudemire, complete with the requisite bow at center court and subsequent victory lap. Then again, if what Pierce says is true and the Knicks...Full take »

Air Date:
Amare Was Right Choice

As for the Knicks, I’d say there’s no such thing as a good loss in the middle of December. Especially if you’ve averaged more than 50 a year since last making the playoffs. But that was as close a thing to a good loss as you can get. The Garden was electric and for the first time in a long...Full take »

Air Date:
Johnson v. Finnegan 2

Sunday can’t get here soon enough; I’m already peaking on the game of the week: Tennessee v. Houston. Yeah, I said it. I don’t care how bad the Titans are or how predictable the Texans are, I’m turning off the blackberry, setting up shop and locking in for that one. I can’t wait to see...Full take »

Air Date:
One Last Burn For Cavs

Looking at the standings and the schedule, I’m pretty sure this will be my last Cleveland Cavaliers burn for a long time. Maybe ever. So let me start with this golf clap. Nice effort against the Heat last night. But where was that two weeks ago when you absolutely had to have it; in your most...Full take »

Air Date:
Favre Streak Ends

Yeah, I don’t think that’s the ending Brett Favre was looking for. I always assumed the streak and ultimately his career would end with a pick. I just didn’t expect it to end with him flat on his face in a meaningless game against Buffalo. And although it couldn’t have been easy to just...Full take »

Air Date:
It’s Not About The Money With Cliff

Speaking of money: anytime anyone says it’s not about the money. Its’ about one thing. The money. Unless Cliff Lee says it. And then it’s not... Not if he turned down more years and more money from both Texas and New York to go back to Philly, it’s not. I’m not going to sit here and...Full take »

Air Date:
Yanks Come Up Empty

Talk about a mug job on New York. The Yankees knew the Red Sox would probably end up with Adrian Gonzalez, but GM Theo Epstein cold cocked them when he signed Carl Crawford as well. And now, Philly comes in and rips the one guy they had been targeting and absolutely had to have, Cliff Lee....Full take »

Air Date:
What’s Next Rex?

I guess that beat down the Patriots laid on the Jets was more than just one game. It wasn’t just one loss. You knew it. If a team has to tell you that its only one game… and it’s just one loss, you know it’s not just one loss. That wasn’t just one of those things. Cleveland beating New...Full take »

Air Date:
Time And Place Tashard

As for Tashard Choice asking for Michael Vick’s autograph, on the field, after a loss…that’s a bad look, my man. Time and place. And mid-field, in your house, on national TV, after a loss is neither the time or place. Look, I’m not saying athletes don’t or shouldn’t hit each other up...Full take »
