Splog FaceOff!: He May Go 2nd, And That’s A Big Enough Drop

Players drop in the NFL Draft when teams make the mistake of drafting for need rather than the best football player available. Nowhere else in the world does life work this way. Sometimes you need a bite to eat…but would you go to McDonald’s when a Sirloin is just as available to you? […]

Splog! FaceOff: 5 DMC Dive

Aaron Rodgers. Matt Leinart. Brady Quinn. Who gets to freefall and lose millions of dollars and all of their dignity this year?
I admire the poignancy of The Ball Coach’s call with Glenn Dorsey, much like I would when watching a film from Sierra Leone (it’s wonderful they have technology and modems to go along with […]

Splog! FaceOff: Hail Mary doesn’t always work

 
Matt Ryan may be a good player but he’s in the wrong position at the wrong time. I hereby nominate Matt Ryan as the venerated recipient of the Brady Quinn Memorial Award. Ryan is a victim of the big fish/small pond phenomenon. He’s a good QB in a very weak QB class, but this alone […]

Splog! FaceOff: Kings of the East Coast Bias

Believe it or not, this Faceoff is 100% venom and sarcasm free. Rivalries might be my favorite thing about sports. Pundits and writers try to make every game seem like more than it actually is, injecting artificial significance and inflated sense of worth like whatever is going into Tyra Banks’ face and brain (it’s hard […]

Splog! Faceoff: Jimmy Fallon, App. St., Mean the Best Rivalry is Still in Raleigh

Jimmy Fallon and Michigan Football: Equally Relevant
There are two reasons that the Yankees- Red Sox can be immediately eliminated from this discussion. The first is the Jimmy Fallon Theorem. This theorem states that if any players from a team appear in a romantic “comedy” taking a loss to their supposed rival lightly, it isn’t that much of […]
