The Harbaugh Bowl showed the 49ers as Fool's Gold

As Thanksgiving night 2011 approached, I was excited. Don’t get me wrong, the Turkey did its job magnificently as the afternoon focus and the wine the In-Laws offer me is always very tasty. But for me I was most excited about desert. Thursday Night Football featuring the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. What – you expected some speech about Pumpkin Pie?

Pilgrims Hunt Turkey, but Cowboys beat Dolphins

So it’s the Dallas Cowboys again facing off against some team on Thanksgiving that’s a complete waste of space in a game whose high point is the biggest bully against the inferior opposition they faced being given some festively themed award presented by an overly hyped and under qualified sports personality.

Of all the rituals that are staples of traditional modern Thanksgiving, 2 of them have been a constant (not counting a visit from or to see that weird uncle that’s in ever y family) -- good food and bad football. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that was ever happy to see such players as QB Joey Harrington, QB Jon Kitna, WR Carlos Rogers or WR Mike Williams fail (although it did contribute to some silly jokes for a few family laughs such as that Charlie Batch was sacked like the turkey when mom brought it from the store).

Miracles that Fly Higher than Jets

Any NFL fan, be it casual or religious, knows the name of Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow. Forsaken as a guaranteed bust upon his drafting last year; Crucified as a quirky experiment when he was installed for QB Kyle Orton when the struggling Broncos named him the starter; he’s suddenly seen as a Mile-High Messiah going 3-1 as a starter going into this Thursday Night Game, keeping Denver in the hunt for the AFC East Division and revitalizing playoff hopes. However, the one ‘L’ that Tebow has endured was against a solid defense where the Detroit Lions feasted on a Tebow steak during the 45-10 route. This Thursday Night match up against the New York Jets represents the first time Tebow has faced a top-level “D” since. The Jets ‘D’, however, don’t have the same offensive support as the Lions and failed to score. Broncos win 17-13.

Stop Blaming the Vikings O-line!

Reports came up on Wednesday, Dec 1st that Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre has begun chanting the familiar mantra of ‘I’m done’. This implies that once again (I believe this is the fifth time since his tear filled press conference in Green Bay, Wisconsin where sports outlets began running week long spots and on-air memorials prompting ESPN’s Colin Cowherd to, albeit jokingly, inform the public that he hadn’t died, just retired).

When the Saints Beat the Shining Stars, they Rejoiced with Exceeding Great Joy!

As trap games go, this is one that came right out of the textbook of trap games. A team in the Dallas Cowboys who had thrown in towel until former Head Coach Wade Phillips was fired 3 weeks ago and replaced by current head Coach Jason Garrett. The Cowboys on the strength of 2 straight wins since have amassed confidence that would prove most useful against the Defending Champion New Orleans Saints who have struggled with flat performances and been plagued by injuries.

Norman Rockwell's Tradtional Portraits were a Bad Omen for the Lions

The 4th Thursday of every November in the US is drenched in tradition. With this day comes Thanksgiving, with Thanksgiving comes Detroit Lions football and with Lions football comes another tradition . . . Losing. While the youth movement has been trying to break this tradition, the efforts against ‘Golden Boy’ QB Tom Brady and the New England Patriots proved futile as the Pats topped the Lions, 45-24.

Patriot Special Teams Leaves 'Phins All Wet

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2010-10-04 22:49

It was only a matter of time before we featured QB Tom ‘Golden Boy’ Brady and his Patriots on Monday Night Football as they faced the Miami Dolphins at Sun Life Stadium. While this divisional matchup was between the 2nd place teams in the AFC East, it wass important to keep from falling 2 games back behind the divisional leading New York Jets after considering division records. In this battle to stay in the race it came down to 27 points in turnovers and special teams plays as the Patriots won 41 - 14

Why am I here?

For the fans who want to hear something EXTRA to what the analysts offer. Those who recognize teams and players YOU want to hear about and the in depth performance analysis that TELL you what the STATS REALLY MEAN!! Check the image of the game from an actual fan rather than from the view of someone who sits at a desk in front of a camera enjoying their cushy retirement job blabbing at the camera.
