Guess who might be the best team in the NFC?

There is always a team every year that turns the corner late in the season and makes a surprising Super Bowl run. The Giants did it in 2007, Arizona did it last year, and my intuition tells me there will be another surprise team in 2009. Super Bowl and successful playoff teams are built upon [...]

He is who we thought he was (so let him be him)

All I have to say is Favre is the best player on the Vikings and anyone calling him a “Diva” or bashing him for wanting to have more control over the offense need not look any further than last night’s game to see why. The Vikings will go as far as they let Brett Favre [...]

Self-inflicted wounds kill Ravens

Yesterday’s game marked the third time in two seasons that a John Harbaugh led team thoroughly out played the Pittsburgh Steelers, but managed to lose the game.  Three touchdowns…three touchdowns were negated by careless penalties or lack of concentration.  “T. Sizzle” went from being unproductive to downright detrimental when he carelessly and unnecessarily blocked a [...]

An Open Letter to the Green Bay Fan at the Skins v. Giants Game

Dear A**hole wearing the jersey of a team not playing in the stadium tonight, Hey bud, are you lost? Green Bay isn’t playing here tonight. What a mix up huh? I don’t know which website or service you use to get your NFL schedule and tickets but they have led you very wrong. Actually, you’re [...]

The Ravens Once Again in the Driver’s Seat

A lot of things happen this NFL weekend to help the Ravens move closer to securing a playoff berth.  The Jags lost, the Jets lost, the Dolphins lost, the Broncos lost, and the Ravens took the Bears to the wood shed.  The Bengals even lost, which, as improbable as it sounds, keeps the division title [...]

The NFL Network

With an organization as strong and powerful as the NFL, you would expect them to get their network right. Every time I watch a game on the NFL Network I leave with a myriad of complaints that is more than just their exclusiveness. There is no excuse for a network that is so interconnected with [...]

Up and Down Ravens Run All Over Detroit

Full disclosure – It’s finals week for my graduate school program and I had to listen to the first half of Sunday’s Ravens game on the radio as I battled the elements returning to Baltimore from lovely Deep Creek Lake, so this week’s blog entry will be fairly concise.  The Ravens smacked-up a bad Lions [...]

Very Superstitious

Before I write a blog for the JAS, I untie and tie my shoes and slap my chest 3 times. Why? Well, it’s a superstition.  That’s what I have to do to ensure the fewest amounts of grammatical and spelling errors. I’m only kidding- I really feel like it is a mental thing that people [...]

On Life Support

I felt less than confident about the Ravens’ chances of going into Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football and coming out with a win prior to last night’s game.  Well, my feelings were confirmed.  The disappointing part is that the Ravens had a real chance to win last night’s game, but squandered it with sloppy [...]
