Former Penguin Donald Jones Doing Well At NFL Combine

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Former Youngstown State University Penguin Donald Jones is making a good impression at the NFL Scouting Combine.  Jones went South to condition for the combine appearances, and thus far, all of the hard work seems to be paying off.  Under the watchful eye of trainer Mike Gough at the Athletic ...

How A New Orleans Saints Fan Savors The Super Bowl Victory

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Growing up a New Orleans Saints fan sucked.  Since I was ten years old, in 1977, I have rooted for New Orleans.  Living halfway between Pittsburgh and Cleveland and geographically nowhere near Louisiana always made my explanation of rooting for this team even harder.  As new Super Bowl and NFL Champions, ...

Why The Saints Will Smash The Cardinals

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Everyone who watches football cannot seem to understand why New Orleans is a seven point favorite against Arizona in this weekends playoff game.  Without question, the line is wrong and New Orleans should be -12 and here is why.

Why Mike Holmgren Will Not Help Things Out In Cleveland

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Cleveland has recently announced that Mike Holmgren is the new Browns Team President.  The deal was very generous as the former Packers and Seahawks Coach is set to make $10 million per year.  Some say it is a great move because Holmgren is battle-tested and knows the steps that have ...

The Steelers Will Not Make The Playoffs

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Ben Roethlisberger has a bad headache.  Charlie Batch has a bad wrist.  Troy Polamalu is still gimpy.  Welcome to the other side of the spectrum Steeler fans, it's called bad luck, and you didn't have too much of it last season.  Losing to Kansas City in Week 11 and dropping to ...

Browns Almost Match Entire Season Output On Offense, Still Lose

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

I'm already hearing the array of comments from Cleveland Browns fans on Sunday's 38-37 loss at Detroit.  The Browns had a 21-point first half lead and blew that by halftime.  Some Browns fans are whining about a pass interference call which gave the Lions an untimed down to win the ...
