A Chris Johnson Six-Pack of Thoughts

Vince Young is a big story.  Benched last year while Kerry Collins quarterbacked the Titans to the best record in football, Young has returned to lead Tennessee to five straight wins after starting 0-6.  He was brilliant on Sunday, driving the Titans 99 yards and tossing a touchdown pass as time expired to beat the Cardinals. But [...]

A Clueless Coaches Six-Pack of Thoughts

Perhaps it was carryover from The Belichick Gamble last Sunday.  But coaches across the country sure did seem clueless over the weekend.  And before we claim it’s because they are clueless to begin with, the most perplexing decision was made by an Ivy Leaguer! Harvard is obviously a smarter school than Yale.  Leading 10-7 with just over two [...]

The Return of The Rant Off!

There’s nothing like coaching decisions to get the arguments started: Bill Belichick and the 4th and 2 from his own 28. Jim Harbaugh going for two to try and hang 50 on USC. Kirk Ferentz running out the clock in a tie game. With that as a backdrop, it’s time for The Return of the [...]

A Debatable Decision Six-Pack of Thoughts

On Sunday night, Bill Belichick took the biggest of gambles on the national stage and it backfired.  He went for it on 4th and 2 from his own 28 with two minutes left and after they didn’t pick up the first down, the Patriots lost.  I’ve waited for a situation like this, where I can rip him to [...]

A NFL Cliche-Busting Six-Pack of Thoughts

My parents told me not to believe everything I hear.  Although I can’t be sure, I think they were referring to sports cliches.  After all, people, specifically announcers, break them out all the time to describe situations they are clearly incapable of analyzing independently.  Here are my favorites so far in the 2009 NFL season. [...]

Godzilla Destroys Philadelphia to Win MVP, Lesser-Known WS Awards Handed Out.

It took a monster effort for the Yankees to beat the Phillies.  Godzilla, as it turns out. Godzilla aka Hideki Matsui became the first Japanese player to win the World Series MVP award after batting .615 with three HRs and eight RBIs as New York won in six.  Matsui was brilliant in the finale, knocking in a record six [...]

The Other Draft Pick

In the 2004 draft, the Washington Capitals had two first round draft picks.  One has gone on to set records and become one of the most exciting players in the game.  The other is Alexander Ovechkin.  OK, so Mike Green isn’t exactly the household name Ovechkin is.  But if he continues to score like he has the [...]
