Audibles From the Bored Long Snapper

Unless you are a fan of TheOtherSports (shameless plug) I’m not sure what you’re doing with your weekends.  Taking the wife to the circus?  Watching the kids hit a ball off a tee?  Nonsense.  The U.S. Open is this weekend!  Four Gold Cup quarterfinal matches, including the United States meeting Jamaica at RFK Sunday at...

Audibles From the Lockout Snapper

A Sad Story About My Fandom I have a $200 Delta voucher that is burning a hole in my pocket.  In normal years, in any other of the past ten years, I would already have booked a weekend in Chicago.  But I can’t.  So I spent the entire morning looking for flights to the New... Read more »

What is Your Lockout Threshold?

At a bar recently I was asked a very pointed, very specific question: “At what point will you stop caring about the 2011 season?”  I thought about it before answering.  It was shocking to me in that moment that I’d never considered the question before.  I had never considered a moment in time wherein I would hold...

Time For Real NFL Ownership To Step Up

Jumped onto PFT this morning and found this quote from Cowboys celebrity owner Jerry Jones:  “I didn’t spend $1.2 billion to build a stadium and not have the Cowboys playing football in it this year.” No, Jerry, you did not.  But you and thirty-one of your colleagues have the opportunity to ensure there are football...

Audibles From the Long Snapper: Waiting...

This is the problem the NFL faced all along with this year’s draft.  They were going to spend three days reminded fans across the country how much we love all the minutiae of the league and then leave us with a few months of conversations that begin with the phrase, “Hey, is there football yet?” ...
