We can split the front seven into two categories, defensive line and linebackers. They’re 2 different stories. The Patriots feature a linebacking corps with surefire Hall of Famers in Junior Seau and Tedy Bruschi. They line up next to Mike Vrabel, and Adalius Thomas. In terms of experience and talent, the Patriots linebackers have it [...]

Super Bowl XLII – the Defensive Front Seven
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Super Bowl XLII – the Defensive Secondary
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Now we get the guys who have to cover the likes of Randy Moss, and Plaxico Burress. No fun, especially not in a Super Bowl. This is where you can get burned, and have to live with it the rest of your life. If you get torched in a regular season game, people will probably [...]
Super Bowl XLII – the Coaches
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008It’s almost unfair for anyone to coach against Bill Belichick in a Super Bowl. He is the master tactician. He game plans to expose the other team. He did it every week this season, and now, for the Super Bowl he has 2 weeks to get the game plan right.
On the other sideline will be [...]

It is also looking like they will part with their 5-tool outfielder Adam Jones. Jones was called back from his Winter League assignment in Venezuela over the weekend to take a physical in Baltimore. Also [...]
Cubs sign veteran lefty Jon Lieber
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008The Cubs have signed left-hander Jon Lieber to a one year, $3.5 million contract.
That seems like an awful lot to pay a 37 year old, injury-prone starting pitcher. But it does add some depth to the rotation. Apparently Lieber will be competing for a starting role. In his contract there are some performance bonuses. Lieber [...]
T.O. cries for his Coors
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008This is a great spoof on the Coors commercials with the always amusing Terrell Owens.
Ryan Mallett leaves Michigan
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008Ryan Mallett has left the building. Shembechler Hall to be more specific. The freshman quarterback is going to transfer to another school, sit out next season and play his remaining 3 years of eligibility at another school.
This sucks.
I predict that Ryan Mallett will win the Heisman trophy. Wherever he goes. He’s that good. As a [...]
