Junk Food For The Soul

After the game against Carolina on Sunday, Chris was rushed to the hospital where they performed the surgery. There is no word yet on how long he will be out. According to the AP story, recovery for a normal person is 4-6 weeks. In the callout to the right of that story, ESPN’s medical […]

Everyone else is dressed up. Jackson and Irvin have their own styles, but at least they look professional. Then you have Ditka (second from left) wearing some white Nikes with his suit. I know he sits behind the desk a lot, but he knows he’s going to be […]

The Patriots have been on the top of the NFL mountain when it comes to putting together the best team of players. They rarely overspend for a player, seem to be able to put in a new player when someone gets hurt, and all the other teams are jealous of the way they can […]

When will Dan Snyder learn he can’t just buy a championship in the NFL. You can bring in the finishing touches, but not from top to bottom. Love the stat they threw out on MNF: From 1999 to 2004 the Skins acquired 21 players who had been to the Pro Bowl before going to […]

It’s so great to have NFL football back. I watched the Steelers/Dolphins game on Thursday, then on Sunday I hunkered down for the Falcons/Panthers, the Bucs/Ravens, the Cowboys/Jags, and finally the Colts/Giants.
Here are the thoughts I had:
My Bucs were just embarrassing. They couldn’t block a guy to save their life. Gruden has been […]

Just finished watching the game and turned on ESPN’s The Fantasy Show to see what they have to say for the weekend. (I didn’t have anyone playing in tonight’s game so it wasn’t important to me to catch the show before the game.)
It’s the second episode I’ve watched now and it’s still OK. But, […]

After my post on ESPN's new Fantasy Football Show, I was checking out the female co-host's Web site. Her name is Danni Boatwright and apparently she was on Survivor. I've never watched that show, but I'm surprised someone never mentioned her to me before. She's smokin'.
I'd like to say she's all about sports, not just […]

I've been playing Fantasy Football for a few seasons now and am currently a part of three leagues, so I'm always looking for more fantasy info. And really who knows more about players and stats than football analysts? Unfortunately, these guys usually can't separate the real game from the Fantasy games. (We all love Marvin […]

In a close, defensive contest that went all the way to the last possession, FSU's defense was just too much for Miami. Neither offense was really able to do much, outside of a couple of long plays here and there. It was the defense for both teams that controlled the game.
FSU's defense looked really, really […]

Ben Roethlisberger will miss the season opening game this week against Miami after having an emergency appendectomy. It’s not yet known whether he will be back the following week.
Charlie Batch has been named the starter until Ben is back.
It could be a pretty tough game for the Steelers. Hines Ward is still listed as […]
