    What is "the end game" behind all the "sexual misconduct allegations" going on?

    Historically whenever a society thought that "female sexuality" was getting out of hand it was mainly men who put up the stop signs. Even today too many people mistakenly blame women on all of this renewed puritanical approach towards women and sexuality. Sure there are the feminists etc. but...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    First I don't think Mayfield will be around at 13. He could be the number one pick. Secondly I don't see Mayfield sitting around for three plus years holding a clip board. I suspect whoever picks him intends to start him. One other point which I think gets at the core of the media dislike of...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    To me Cousins, a solid QB, cannot be compared to Alex Smith. Smith's lifetime record is 90-67-1. He has lead his teams to five different playoff appearances including 3 in a row from 2015-2017. Cousins lifetime record is 26-31-1. The year after Smith was traded from the 49er's the once...

    Super Bowl LII

    Pats getting blown out? I would not venture into public proclaiming that one ha. The Eagles greatest strength are their lines. They have a deep defensive line that is solid. Their offensive line led by Kelce and Lane Johnson is remarkably athletic, agile, smart and quick. The further you get...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    I think the Redskins get a clear nod on this transaction. Yes Alex Smith is 34 and Cousins is 29 but Smith is a "young" 34, still limber and moving around like a young pup. In this day and age where Roger Federer is winning majors in his mid 30's and Tom Brady is on the verge of another SB win...

    2018 NFL Draft

    I guess the Combine invites are already coming in. I read somewhere that by Thursday night most invitations will be finished but I am not sure about that at all. Anyway as expected RB Ryan Nall has been invited. Some discussion about a possible move to FB or H-Back but he is going in and will...

    2018 NFL Draft

    With the Senior Bowl over there are two/three steps left before the draft. Between now and the Combine the only exciting thing of import is who gets invited to the NFL Combine. Then there is the Combine and the Pro Days. I want to explore the WR situation which I have been pretty precise in...

    2018 Australian Open

    Was able to watch the entire men's final last night on ESPN NEWS. While a tight match it wasn't what I would call great but it had it's moments. Federer started off very strong but each player tended to drift giving their opponent some openings. In the past against heavy hitters like Cilic Roger...

    Super Bowl LII

    I saw it nifty stuff from Harrison Smith. The NHL All Star game is on at the same time as the Pro Bowl and neither one is essential viewing. They are half tackling here. Speaking of which, bored as hell last night and not in the mood for the night college basketball games I feasted on the NFL...

    2018 NFL Draft

    Before I get to a quick Senior Bowl report the silver lining in Nall being seen as a FB is it actually IMPROVES his chances of getting invited to the Combine. Speaking of Combine it is ESSENTIAL that WR Braxton Berrios gets invited. The Senior Bowl announcers were trying to 'place" him and they...

    2018 Australian Open

    I hope to catch up on the entire Federer match soon (seen parts of it) but without the Tennis Channel not sure I will be able to. Last year ESPN repeated the stellar Nadal-Federer final several times so maybe they will replay his 20th Major this go around too. Hold on. 20? We are moving past...

    2018 NFL Draft

    Forgetting for a moment that Rosen, similar to Peyton and Eli, has made it clear that he doesn't want to play for the Browns (I don't like it when players pull this stuff) this draft is so strange that any one of the four "core" QB's could end up being the first pick in the draft.

    2018 Australian Open

    It was a great finals match. I managed to see the first part and last set. There was something refreshing about this match. Two hard luck losers finally having a chance at REAL glory. Very compelling on many levels. Will Simona Halep end up like the Bills and team I rooted hard for in four...

    Super Bowl LII

    I wrote about this subject a year or two ago. The 40 yard dash is an artificial and random event and does not give an accurate reading on speed. In fact most all of the tests they use at the combine are not true indicators of athletic feats. That would include the vertical leap. The best way to...

    Super Bowl LII

    I hesitate to use the phrase "you've come a long way baby" but I looked back at the rosters of the 2005 SB matchup between these two teams that the Pats won 24-21 and it was simply more caste. The one glaring exception was the excellent Mike Vrabel, the hybrid DE/OLB who also on occasion played...

    2018 Australian Open

    FASCINATING women's final coming up. Not having the Tennis Channel anymore has limited some viewing but I try and catch as much as I can on ESPN2,s evening coverage. The time difference in Australia makes it virtually impossible to watch say Federer because his matches are mostly on at 3:30 AM...

    Super Bowl LII

    Eagles have a weapon that could very well spell the difference in the big game. I don't believe the Patriots will be able to cover him. See below...

    2018 NFL Draft

    I was listening to some of the NFL network post game stuff last night and Deion Sanders was going on about replacing Bortles next year with Lamar Jackson. The white host wasn't too impressed with that which sent Sanders into a frenzy. Good grief. Mel Kiper had grave concerns about Kizer and so...

    2018 NFL Draft

    For sure Allen's completion rate is enough to scare the daylights out of anyone. That is the reason he is the most polarizing QB in the draft. It bothers me too. But keep in mind Mel Kiper says the media should stuff those stats. He points out the playing conditions in Wyoming and that league...

    2018 NFL Draft

    Try as I might I have difficulty staying with these college all star games. I sifted through the Shrine Bowl last week but lost interest as usual. Granted the Senior Bowl has more of the top players so I will try and stick with it as much as I can tolerate. Nice to see S Troy Apke play well in...

    2018 NFL Conference Championships

    Not much to add that hasn't been said about the Pats stirring win but we have to face facts. Rex Burkhead is just one of those players that is injury prone. ALWAYS something. Hope he is healthy enough to contribute in two weeks because they are going to need all of their weapons. The NFL is a...

    2018 NFL Conference Championships

    It was asking too much wasn't it? A Vikings- Pats SB would have been ideal. But at least the Pats won albeit not too thrilled that neither of these SB teams have white starters on D and in fact the Pats basically have zero white defensive players but I will be rooting hard for the Pats anyway...

    This will be the second year in a row that there will be zero white players. Worth noting last year's girls team featured zero whites too. Here is a mini breakdown of the number of whites. 2014-boys (b)-2, girls(g)-2 2015-b-3, g-5 2016-b-3, g-6 2017-b-0, g-0 2018-b-0, g-2 As JL...

    Aaron Rodgers sure gets around. Dating Hollywood beauties and becoming a fixture on TV with his ads. His latest gal is Danica Patrick. Will this one stick? Another (ex) QB who also is all over the TV with his funny ads is Peyton Manning. The underground rumor is ESPN will try anything to secure...
