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...

More Audibles From the Long Snapper

Pompei Has Warped Priorities Dan Pompei wrote a few weeks ago that the Bears were not in need of a wide receiver and now he’s writing that their off-season priority is acquiring of a second defensive end or solid under tackle.  I liked Dan’s work very much in the regular season but what has he...

The Meek Inherit the Championship

The trophy that bears their hero’s name is returning to Green Bay as the Packers have won Super Bowl XLV.  It was a bizarre football game that I’ve heard some people actually call great. Great?  A game where one team’s quarterback couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn and the other team’s receivers played... Read more »

Super Bowl XLV Game Preview

Editor’s Note: T-shirt presentation will be next week.  We’ll present a few options by midweek. I’ll wake up Sunday morning with about as little enthusiasm for a Super Bowl as I’ve ever had.  Losing on Championship Sunday relegates “the big game” to an excuse for drunken ribaldry – not than an excuse is required.  Maybe...

Five Reasons The Bears Are Finished Playing

It is a game I’ll spend a few weeks thinking about, not sure quite how to wrap-up a performance so surreal and often downright bizarre.  But there were several key factors leading up to the Bears loss yesterday. Jay Cutler’s First-Half Inaccuracy.  Cutler missed an open Devin Hester on two throws early and both could... Read more »
