Dent Denied

Super Bowl XX MVP Richard Dent was denied in his fifth bid for enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Dent, of course, was an integral cog of the ferocious Bears defense of the 80’s. All-time sacks leader Bruce Smith was selected in his first year of eligibility along with Wide receiver [...]

Super Bowl XLIII Preview

Day vs Night.  Black (and gold) vs White (and red).  Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader.  Offense vs Defense.   You might say that this game features contrasting styles.  The Steelers come in as the top defense from the regular season while the Cardinals come in with the second ranked passing offense and a Top 5 offense [...]

Name Game

What else do the Cardinals and  Pittsburgh Steelers have in common?  Both have posted winless seasons, but for both of them, it was an 0-10 season 64 years ago when the teams were merged into one due to a manpower shortage during WWII.  When the teams lock horns a week from Sunday, it will be [...]

LOWER THE BOOM!!!

Every once in a while, I worry that there might not be a good topic for my weekly LOWER THE BOOM post, but maybe I am naive to the foolishness of mankind and NFL wide receivers in particular.  Anquan Boldin addressed the media on Thursday to try to quell the noise surrounding his blowup during [...]
