Nothing beats a fun college football Saturday, right? Well maybe if you can convince your girlfriend of a little action while watching. Go Miners!

With the Super Bowl finally over and the New York Giants victorious, football fans are left to wonder, “What happened to the almighty Patriots and their shot at undefeated history?” It all went down exactly as I had expected (and hoped). With so much riding on the outcome of that game, how is anyone expected to be at their best? Even the best team in the league is still made up of human beings (yes, even Tom Brady is human), and human beings get frazzled.

In the end, I’m ecstatic that the Giants showed the Patriots what’s what. I’d much rather hear the story of the underdogs beating all the odds and naysayers for the next year than have to listen about Tom Brady and his team of bastards breaking the record.

Still, it should have been Favre…

The stage is set for the biggest game of the year for all of American sports and the two teams facing each other are probably not the most likely foes. Well, the Patriots were pretty much a shoo-in since week nine when they beat the Colts but who would have picked the Giants? The Giants have done something no other NFC team has done: win three road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl and ten straight road games for the year. (more…)

First off, allow me to take a moment and give a shout out to all the guys out there who don’t watch football. You’re OK in my book. Or you would be, if I had a book. Anyway, it’s completely cool to not be into football. I’m not, and I say that proudly. I could give two shits about it, actually. However, I love the Super Bowl. It’s a great excuse for a party, and it’s a day that pretty much everyone is universally down to get drunk and hang out. Even though I don’t watch football, I know how to throw a mean party. Most of my formative years were spent doing just that, and I have references available if you don’t believe me. Anyway, on to the partying! Follow these guidelines, and even if you know nothing about football like me, you’ll be the most popular guy there. And let’s face it, that won’t happen too often. (more…)

I started this season with a 9 game winning streak. 9-0…unstoppable. Then I lost two in a row. I wasn’t too worried about it until Friday morning when I learned that Brett Favre injured his shoulder and his elbow. It’s a scary thing when your main man is hurt. According to coach Mike McCarthy though, he’ll be fine by next Sunday when he will continue to kick some ass. Ok that’s not a direct quote but it’s the truth.

As another college football season winds down to a close, we have yet another year of playoff talks. I usually don’t really care, but this year I felt more compelled than usual. Instead of just joining the usual crowd screaming, “Yes there should be a playoff!”, I put some thought into how it could actually work. So hear me out… (more…)

I hate to say it but I think the Patriots are going to do it. 16-0 may be one of those records that is up there with the all-time home run record. The talent level in the NFL is like none other and most people can’t comprehend how hard it is to play the sport; that includes me. What the Patriots are doing this year is pretty impressive, and that is coming from a guy that would love to see Tom Brady snap his ankle in two.

What makes it even better is that the Dolphins, the team that holds the current undefeated season record, could throw up a turkey themselves and go 0-16. So alert the nation, Don Shula may do something crazy in these upcoming weeks. He cherishes that record way to much.
