If Shea McClellin is half as good on the football field as he was at his first Chicago autograph signing, the Bears’ No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft will be a formidable force for the foreseeable future (yeah, some of us are alliteration aficionados). The defensive end/linebacker/just get him in the game from Boise […]
For those who are eagerly awaiting the NFL draft (and even for those who are not and/or who are reading this after the annual event occurs), here are some miscellaneous draft odds, courtesy of the fine folks from Bovada www.Bovada.lv; Twitter: @BovadaLV) — and, of course, we could not run something NFL-related without having our […]
Random thoughts while wondering which television network will have the balls (footballs, that is) to make Gisele Bundchen an NFL analyst. * In case you are unaware (OK, and even if you’re not), the supermodel wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took his teammates to task for not catching passes he threw in […]
Super Bowl XLVI made for a memorable event. And the football game was pretty good, too — for those who pay attention to such things. Quarterback Eli Manning and coach Tom Coughlin came closer to cementing their place someday in the pro football hall of fame, as the New York Giants ralled Sunday (Feb. 5) […]
The great thing about waking up late on Super Bowl Sunday is knowing you haven’t missed much — if anything at all — as far as the countless hours of pregame programming go. And do they go. On and on. For those wondering how to spend some time not watching pregame programming, here are some […]

And so here we are. One day before the Super Bowl. Or, as I like to think of it, one night before the Super Bowl. You can have Super Bowl XLVI betwen the New England Patriots and the New York Giants in Indianapolis. Yours truly will take Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. Or, as I […]
Opening Super Bowl media day to the public Tuesday in Indianapolis was one way for the NFL to increase revenue (with more than 7,000 folks shelling out $50 apiece, that’s revenue)– and decrease the media’s sense of being special. OK, some media members will maintain their elevated estimation of their importance, undeserved as it may […]
Random thoughts while wondering whether Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers or Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler will have the better offseason (OK, so it was a light day for thinking and/or wondering): * The news Monday that Mike Martz is retiring was curious. Not that the former NFL coach, who was offensive coordinator of […]
The New York Giants play the Green Bay Packers Sunday at Lambeau Field. Miss Wisconsin Laura Kaeppeler won the Miss America title. With that as something of a sign of Cheesehead supremancy, you have to wonder why the visitors are even going to show up. Well, other than the fact that the NFL receives zillions […]
