There are certainties in football. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are in their own class of quarterback. Ed Reed has a legit shot to take every pick to the house. LaDainian Tomlinson couldn’t be more done if he was Christian Slater’s TV action career.

And Norv Turner is a horrible coach.

Brad Childress is a bad coach. Romeo Crennel and Scott Linehan were insanely bad. Mike Nolan wasn’t that bad, but got submarined by the Alex Smith era. Herm Edwards is not only a bad coach, but one of the most confused men alive. The facial expression constantly plastered on his face is that of a guy who just heard Jimmy Fallon was replacing Conan.

And then there’s Norv. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Anwer Man,

What is the deal with players sitting out part of the season and then deciding to sign? Should there be a rule against this or does it harm anything?

Bopper, we are seeing more and more of this the past couple of seasons. Yours truly has written about Shanahan in the recent past but that is totally different scenario. He isn’t doing this voluntarily. He needs to just lower his price. Who does he think he is?  Some hooker who let’s you pay double to go bare back? Sheesh!  To me they are just spoiled brats.

This Oscar season, there’s no need to see Brad Pitt in makeup delving into a look at time and aging.  I’ll save you the 3 hours and tell you the story of Brett Favre…a story as inspiring as Benjamin Button’s without the pedophiliac undertones.  Well, unless you factor in John Madden’s creepy admiration.

Sixteen teams got their Viking Funeral last week in the rankings, and this week they’re joined by four more…including the Vikings.

-Atlanta Falcons – Awards for Matt Ryan and Mike Smith are a bit of solace for getting bounced by the worst playoff team since the Dick Cheney-led Gog Magogs. The Falcons were an illusion all season; a great story can often delude fans and networks to overlook staggering flaws. It’s like when an embattled people finally earn their independence; you feel good about them, but you’re not exactly afraid of getting invaded. The next step will be avoiding a HUGE letdown next year and getting a runstopper of some kind on the defense. Read the rest of this entry »

The media has recently reported that New England QB Tom Brady has finally popped the question and will be taking Victoria’s Secret model Gisele down the isle sometime next year. I feel that this marks an important day in male history. Sure, Gisele is a larger than life supermodel who parades around a perfect ass and during one very special night a year she puts on lingerie to promote the running monopoly on the “World’s Most Comfortable Bra,” but last time I checked there were 6 Victoria’s Secret Angels, while there is only one Tom Brady. I mean they let Tyra Banks be an angel and that bitch is crazy.

Well, let us break down who Tom Brady is on the male hierarchy scale, shall we.

Tom Brady…
A Multi-millionaire GQ model Future NFL Hall of Fame New England Demi-God with model looks, a ho-hum humility and quiet charm that makes even grandma blush. Oh yeah, he’s also got 3 Super Bowl rings and all at the ripe old age of 31. Read the rest of this entry »

Money Money Money…

…No Money

With the United States slowly slipping into the depths of a complete economic recession amid rising fuel costs, a credit crisis and a housing market teetering on the brink of a complete collapse, one would think that the rich would still thrive while the poor simply had to push their cars to work. However, it seems that even the rich are feeling the steely grip of economic recession.

“Everyone’s got a price,” The Million Dollar man used to eloquently state to opponents such as Rowdy Roddy Piper and Superfly Jimmy Snuka right before he struck them in the face with a folding chair. “Everyone’s got to pay.”

Sadly, now it looks like it’s Mr. DiBiase himself, who has taken a folding chair to his face, as the US economic meltdown has left him almost penniless. The only thing folding in former “King of the Rings” life right now is his fledgling Million Dollar Corporation. Read the rest of this entry »

The firing of Mike Shanahan was easily the least anticipated story of the year. Of all the coaches in the league, only Bill Belichick seemed less untouchable. Anyway, the press is saying now that Bowlen wanted to fire the GM Shanahan, not necessarily the coach Shanahan. And although such surgeries are certainly possible at Johns Hopkins or the Mayo Clinic, all the money for such a procedure was tied up in former Browns’ defensive linemen.

It obviously stinks for Shanahan, who for all his failures as a personnel guy is an awesome coach. But there are a few winners emerging from this story, and they aren’t at first glance related at all. Read the rest of this entry »
