FSU v. Miami – Third Quarter

First rule of the shotgun: catch the shotgun. Really, this multiple camera angle approach on ESPN2 would be so much more interesting if there were a camera in the cheerleaders’ locker rooms. I really don’t care what the line judge is looking at. First running yards of the season? A pointless run by Weatherford. Punt [...]

FSU v. Miami – the Second Quarter

by Mike on 9/4/2006

On first sight, that Jenkins catch was out of bounds. Watching the replay, he had both feet in bounds, but the play is under review. I don’t think this one will get called back. Bad position for the good guys. Or, we can just take fifteen yards back by sodomizing your QB. Unless you shave [...]

FSU vs. Miami – First Quarterpalooza

by Mike on 9/4/2006

in Perennial ACC Champs, the FSU Seminoles, Pigskin

Miami flushed almost its entire coaching staff in the off season, booting everyone but Head Coach Larry Coker and the Ibis – possibly the dumbest mascot in all of college football, even counting the Delaware Blue Hens. The inexperience of this maiden coaching crew shows in the team’s play: Miami’s committed two very sloppy penalties [...]

Superbowl XL – Fourth Quarter

by Mike on 2/5/2006

Seattle looks like it’s finally found the keys to its offense and are taking it for a drive. Ooops, except for the inopportune holding penalty. And then a “huge sack” by someone who hasn’t gotten a sack since 2003. And then an interception. Ok, they found the keys and handed them over to the Steelers. [...]

Superbowl XL – Third Quarter

Willie Parker runs 75 yards for a Steelers TD in the opening moments of the half, and Cowher still looks pissed. What, did he call a passing play? Or maybe Cowher doesn’t like his players setting records – that was only the longest rushing touchdown in Superbowl history. Hines Ward’s hands – the vacuum that [...]

Superbowl XL – Second Quarter

by Mike on 2/5/2006

Don’t special teams drill that whole “knock the ball out of the end zone” move? The Bus has now entered the game. Not necessarily by coincidence, the Steelers have finally broken the thick, thick ice protecting the first down marker. Who wants to buy Rolling Stones tunes from Sprint? Not me. Big Ben finally settles [...]

Superbowl XL – First Quarter

by Mike on 2/5/2006

Three and out – not a good opener for the Seahawks. Gotta watch those penalties. I have hidden several bottles of beer around this website, savages. As if the “king” weren’t freaky enough – who wants a gangbang burger? How did this game become a defensive battle? Steelers, three and out. Lousy field position can [...]

Superbowl XL Pregame

by Mike on 2/5/2006

I’m sticking with my predictions of a couple weeks ago: “AFC beats NFC, no matter who makes it.” This will be a fantastic game, and although I think the Steelers will win, they’ll have to play their best game ever. I’m also rooting for the Steelers, mainly because a lot of my close friends are [...]

Nostradamus I’m Not

by Mike on 1/23/2006

One out of two ain’t bad. I was right about the sharp pointy teeth of the Seahawks, but I’m thinking when they get that uniform makeover they might want to go all the way and just rename the team the Seattle Shawn Alexanders. Or the Seattle They-Whose-Running-Game-Cannot-Be-Stopped. I was glad to be wrong about the [...]
