What I’ve got you’ve got to give it to your mamma. What I’ve got you’ve got to give it to your pappa. Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now. -Red Hot Chili Peppers
From Pop Warner to the NFL, football coaches everywhere stress turnover avoidance. Nobody wants to have happen what happeneed to Joe Theismann. Theisman floated the ball in the direction of running back Joe Washington. Unfortunately, he didn’t account for unheralded linebacker Jack Squirek. Squirek returned the ball to the hizzy for a touchdown in Super Bowl XVIII. Nobody wants to have happen what happened to Peyton Manning. Faced with a third and five, Manning targeted his favorite receiver, Reggie Wayne. Unfortunatley, Tracy Porter was targeting Manning. At the 26 yard line, Porter returned it to the hizzy for a game-changing touchdown in Super Bowl XLIV. From Pop Warner to the NFL, football coaches everywhere stress turnover avoidance because nobody wants to have happen what done happened to the Steelers yesterday. Read More »

On, you Green and Gold, to glory. Win this game the same old story. Fight, you Packers! Fight, and bring the bacon home to Old Green Bay! -Eric Karll
The Pack is back! Last week, Aaron Rodgers passed for three touchdowns in the Packers’ win in Atlanta. Last week, Aaron Rodgers ran for one more in the Packers’ win in Atlanta. Last season, he passed for four touchdowns and ran for another in the 51-45 playoff loss at Arizona. You know what that makes boys and girls? Huh? Do ya. That makes Aaron Rodgers the first player in NFL history to throw at least three touchdown passes and to run for a touchdown in each of two different postseason games. That’s what that makes. I’ll tell you something else. I’ll tell you Rodgers also completed 31 of his 36 passes at Atlanta. I’ll tell you that gives him a completion rate of 86.1 percent. I’ll tell you that’s the highest completion percentage in NFL postseason history for a player who had at least 30 completions in a game. I’ll tell you Aaron Rodgers is playing the best quarterback in these here playoffs Read More »

Round two, I’m down to, do, what it takes to make you understand I’m the Candyman and I melt in your mouth, not in your hands. -Candyman
Ok, here we go! The NFL Playoffs. The NFL hip-hip-hoorayoffs. The judgement dayoffs. Win or go home! Who lives to play another week? Who goes home? Like Southside Johnny always says, “Oh, I know that it’s getting late, but I don’t want to go home. I’m in no hurry, baby, time can wait. ‘Cause I don’t want to go home.” Lets have a look-see at who’s who, shall we? Sure we shall! Read More »

Ice Ice Baby. Ice Ice Baby. All right stop, collaborate and listen. Ice is back with a brand new invention. -Vanilla Ice
Like my main Sgt. Brad Colbert always says, “Stay frosty.” Matt Ryan is staying frosty. Matty Ice. Mr. Frosty. Cool as a cucumber. Never gets nervous. Never Nervous Pervis. You should know I’ve always loved this kid. Loved him back at Boston College. Loved him for what he did one Thursday night in Blacksburg, Virginia. What he done did one Thursday night in Blacksburg, Virginia, in the mud and the slop. For Boston, for Boston, thy glory is our own. For Boston, for Boston, ’tis here that truth is known.” Truth is, Matt Ryan is taking that glory with him all the way down to hot ‘Lanta. Read More »

Let’s face it, I’m wrong again. Let’s face it and it’s still Monday. Let’s face it, I’m wrong again. Let’s face it, it don’t worry me. -Rockpile
I know, I know. I insulted Aaron Rodgers a little bit. I got a little bit out of order myself. Yes, I insulted him a little bit and said things like, “He doesn’t have that ‘it’ factor.” I got a little bit out of order and brought up stuff like his previous 0-1 postseason record and his previous 2-13 record in games decided by four points. That was before. That was before I saw his performance yesterday. That was before I saw Rodgers finally put a signature victory on his resume. Like my main woman SE Hinton always says, “That was then. This is now.” Read More »

Matty told Hatty, “That’s the thing to do. Get you someone really to pull the wool with you.” Wooly bully, wooly bully. Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully. -Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs
This ain’t no Weekend at Bernies. This ain’t no Weekend With Maurie and Connie. No. I’m like Sam Quint. I’m not talkin’ about pleasure boatin’ or day sailin’. I’m talkin’ about workin’ for a livin’. I’m talkin’ about sharkin’. I’m talking about NFL Wildcard Weekend. I’m talking about NFL Playoff football. Growds folks’ football. Win or go home football. In this version of the NFL, there’s two kinds of teams my friend: Those with big time quarterbacks, and those who dig. Let’s see who’s who, shall we? Sure we shall! Read More »

She dreams in color, she dreams in red. Can’t find a better man. Can’t find a better man. -Pearl Jam
Public Service Announcement: Donald Driver just signed a contract extension that will keep the Packers’ all-time receptions leader with the franchise through 2012. This is one guy who deserves it. This is one guy who stood up against the scum, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up. Stood up for all that is good. With all the focus on the negatives in the NFL lately, it’s high time we talk about the positives. You’ve got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative. Latch on to the affirmative. Don’t mess with Mister In-Between. Time to mess with the good guys. Men who should win the Nobel Prize. All that and McDonald’s French Fries. The men in the white hats. The Dumbledores. The Indiana Joneses. The John McClanes. The guys you’d be proud to have on your team. Donald Driver is one of those guys. Read More »

Josh Q. Public, that is my name, and I know the fly spot where they got the champagne. We rode for six hours then we hit the spot. The beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot. -Beastie Boys
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Like the Venga Boys always say, “Hey now, hey now, hear what I say now. Happiness is just around the corner” That’s right, the Superbowl is right around the corner. Shhh! It’s around the corner. And like the Venga Boys, football players sure like to party. They like, they like to party. So my friends, with the Super Bowl coming up and all, let’s have a look see at those cats who fought a little bit too hard for their right. Read More »

I go wild when you’re in my face and I’m entranced in a state of grace. I go wild when you treat me bad. I go wild, raving mad. -Rolling Stones
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Word has it, legendary Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry never told a lie. Sure, he may have stretched things a bit at times. Yes, he might have underplayed things at other times. He may have even withheld some information if he felt it to be necessary. All understandable. But he never lied. Now, I never met the man so I don’t know if these stories about Landry’s honesty are true or if thy’re on par with George Washington and the cherry tree. I do know one thing however. I do know it was Tom Landry who said, “Football is an incredible game. Sometimes it’s so incredible, it’s unbelievable.” That’s the double truth, Ruth. So let’s do this. Like we always knew this. Like my main man Dick Butkus. Wild And Wooly Card Sunday! Read More »
