With reports of Tom Coughlin soon to be signing a long term deal with the Giants, I thought it would be good make good with the coach I have been critical of in the past.Obviously winning a Super Bowl, beating the so-called “greatest” team ever, ruining a perfect 19-0 season, ending Brett Favre’s magical 2008 season at Lambeau, knocking off the Cowboys in Texas Stadium, and dealing with all the pressure of coaching in New York after an 0-2 start will get fans on your side. But I think it is time to apologize to Coughlin for the bashing I [...]

Coughlin Here To Stay
Feagles back
Jeff Feagles might be 41 years old, but he is not done playing in the NFL. After given a chance last week to retire as a world champion, the oldest player to ever win a Super Bowl has decided to come back for at least two more seasons.
Feagles, who is also the team holder, will return for his 21st season in the league this year with the new two-year deal. Terms of the new contract were not given, though Feagles made $1 million in 2007.
Who is America’s Team?
This title gets thrown around all the time and after the Dallas Cowboys became America’s Team when they were running the show and the league in the mid 90s, it seemed like it fit their franchise, even if everyone outside of Dallas despises the Cowboys.
With a cocky owner like Jerry Jones and a cast of characters made up of the game’s biggest clowns and spoiled stars, how is it possible that America could possibly want the Dallas Cowboys to represent them?
Is it their winning past that gave them such a mighty name of their simplistic logo of the star, a symbol [...]
Welcome to Perfectville
Saw this commercial a day or two after the Super Bowl, but I forgot to post it. Here it is for those of you who haven’t seen it yet.
NFC 2, AFC 0
It has been a week since the destruction of the wanna-be dynasty the New England Patriots were trying to create. Winning the Super Bowl three of four years and then not winning one of the next three officially ends your bid at a dynasty in my book.
The Pro Bowl was pretty uninteresting yesterday. With one member of the Giants playing, how much of a Pro Bowl was it?
Tony Romo got to play, so I am sure the Dallas fans are happy he got to play in some type of Bowl this season, and T.O. was there as well. But, then again [...]
What if
Everyone keeps talking about what if this happened or what if that happened on the heroic drive by Elite Manning to win the Super Bowl.
Most of the crazy talk and assumptions is coming from the disappointed and bitter New England fans, but enough is enough with the woulda, shoulda, coulda scenarios from the embarrassed Patriot faithful.
I have had enough with the what if statements that these people believe their Patriots still should have won the game. So, here are some of my own what ifs that could have changed the outcome of the game.
What if Archie Manning hadn’t created two NFL [...]
The Perfect Season
18-1
The Patriots’ path to perfection ended up with a detour, which led to a cul-de-sac. And at the dead end that was the end of the Patriots’ season, the whole world came crashing down on the undefeated club. It hadn’t even been 48 hours since the Patriots devastating loss and already members of the 1980 Soviet Union hockey team were calling Robert Kraft to thank him and the rest of the macaroni and cheese makers for finally ending their 27-year reign as sports’ biggest embarrassment.
And the Patriots are getting a run for their money for that title as well, but not by [...]
Do you believe in miracles?
The Giants did what no one (except for a handful of people) though they could do. They played a way no one thought they could play. And they beat a team no one thought they could beat.
What a season this past one was. The G-Men had their back against the wall with an 0-2 record, minutes away from starting the year 0-3 and causin an uproar with the media and the front office. They managed to ride a rocky rollercoaster the rest of the season, going 10-4 after that awful start, only to be underdogs in the first round of [...]
Super Bowl XLII Prediction
Super Sunday is finally here after 14 days of hype and extensive coverage that has seen Tom Brady limp, Plaxico predict the outcome of the game, Congress call for the Spygate tapes, and now reports the Patriots cheated against the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. All of that and more packed into two weeks.
The last time I watched a Super Bowl the Giants were in, it was possibly the ugliest game of football I have ever seen, though this year against Minnesota was up there. But with so much at stake, the Giants folded like they were dealt 7-2 offsuit at a [...]
