Super Bowl Thoughts: New England 28-24 Seattle
Last year, I rooted for the Seahawks because I could not stand seeing Peyton Manning’s smug face on any more commercials. Before this year’s game, I posted on FB: “Seattle is the better team. I don’t understand why they’re not … Continue reading
Who Should I Root For In The Super Bowl?
I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan. I have no allegiance to Seattle or New England. I don’t know who I’ll root for. I might have to wait for the game to get going. * My flu has given me the ideal … Continue reading

RIP Jethro Pugh
I’ll always remember Dallas defensive lineman Jethro Pugh as the Cowboy who was too lazy to dig his cleats into the turf (unlike his teammate Bob Lilly), allowing himself to get shoved out of the way and costing the Dallas … Continue reading

Quarterbacks tend to be the most highly paid position in the NFL because the play of your starting quarterback, more than anything else, will usually determine how well your team does. NFL contracts typically run for many years so a … Continue reading

Players Who Leave Early
I’m noticing patterns about healthy players who leave NFL games early because their feelings are hurt. I remember Dez Bryant doing this. I hope I’m wrong about the pattern I’m seeing. I think I might turn myself in for thought … Continue reading
I Hope I’m Wrong About This Hateful Stereotype

Can A Jewish Woman Save The NFL?
Jews don’t tend to play tackle football. We’re more likely to own a sports team than to play for one. Domestic violence usually means that two morons have been going at each other and the littler one lost. I was … Continue reading
Brian and the Boz
This 30 for 30 documentary shook me up. It’s about a kid (Brian Bosworth, better known as the Boz) who can never meet his father’s expectations who takes on a college coach (Barry Switzer) as his subtitute father figure, enjoys … Continue reading
