The Cher of football returns

Looks like Brett Favre’s training camp opens today just like it did exactly one year ago today when he showed at Vikings training camp on August 18, 2009. I’d rather watch Muhammad Ali fill a bird feeder than hear anymore conjecture about Favre’s status right now. Seriously, Favre’s off-the-field decisions are about as anticlimactic as [...]

Roethlisberger changes hometowns, say what???

I’ve always felt that if you can’t own your faults and accept the criticism that come with them then you’re probably not on the road to forgiveness. So is the case with two-time ‘alleged’ sexual assaulter and suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who according to USA Today changed the hometown listed on his Pittsburgh Steelers bio [...]

The Pat Tillman Story … The Truth Will Be Told

Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death [...]

Penis and Shoulder Pads

Penis pics, shoulder pads and very little talk of the team….just another day in Cowboys’ training camp. Shoulder Pad Gate Listening to the Cowboys press conference on The Ticket Monday afternoon I was amazed that 90 percent of the questions involved wide receiver Dez Bryant’s refusal to carry fellow wide receiver Roy Williams’ shoulder pads [...]

Bryant is the ‘difference maker’ for Cowboys

I got a feeling this is going to be a really, really bad football season for me. As a non-Cowboys fan living in Dallas — OK, I’m a hater — I’m subject to the winds of unrealistic expectations that usually approach hurricane force this time of year. But the winds are worsening this preseason. It [...]

Preseason Odds for Super Bowl XLV

About this time of year, when the NBA and NHL playoffs have ended their extremely too long postseasons and baseball approaches the All-Star break, I begin turning my some of my attention over to football. With July comes two-a-days, training camps, preseason magazines and predictions. It reminds me of my college years when I gambled [...]

Vick’s B’day Shoot ‘em Up

Michael Vick’s latest brouhaha may land him back in the NFL’s principal’s office. It appears the guy who got himself all shot at Vick’s 30th b’day party was a dog fighting co-defendant. If that was the only incident it’s no big deal really, but NFL commish Roger Goodell told Vick not to hang around that [...]

Vince Young’s strip club brouhaha

If you f*** with an NFL quarterback in a strip club at 3:00 AM you’re an idiot and deserve to get knocked upside the head. The video here clearly shows Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young minding his own business when some douchebag bar employee thought it would be cool to flash him the upside down [...]
