Winter is in the air and excitement is building for the big day! Join a couple of the actors from Silver Circle as they get pumped for the Super Bowl:

Peace out homies. Six two and even!

Today’s the Pro Bowl. Hooray Pro Bowl! Not really. But still. But still, today’s Pro Bowl affords me the opportunity to post this. Today’s Pro Bowl affords me the opportunity to post everybody’s favorite office linebacker. So without further ado, I give you, Terrible Terry Tate:

Peace out homies. Six two and even!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!  Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious!  If you say it loud enough, you’ll always sound precocious.  Um-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye.  -Mary Poppins

It’s almost here!  Super Sunday.  Super fun day.  More fun than Plaxico Burress gun day.  It’s a quest for fun.  I’m gonna have fun and you’re gonna have fun.  We’re all gonna have so much f**king fun we’ll need plastic surgery to remove our godamn smiles.  You’ll be whistling ‘Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah’ out of you’re assholes!  Now that’s fun.  You know what else is fun?  Huh?  Do ya?  Sure you do.  Making up All Star teams is fun.  I know, I know, you wanted chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze!  Do that on your own time.  This my time.  This my damn blog.  And now without further ado, my damn Super Bowl All Star team:    Read More »

It’s a wonderful night, you’ve gotta take it from me.  It’s a wonderful night, come on and break it on down.  -Fatboy Slim

Just a short little quick one.  Quick like a licorice stick one.  Just to throw a brick one.  As much as I’d like to say, Same Old Jets, I cannot.  As much as I’d like to say, Ha ha Jets, I cannot.  For as much as I’d like to say those things, it’d be those Same Old Jets that beat my beloved Patriots last weekend and what would that say for my beloved Patriots?  All I know is the Jets made Rashard Mendenhall look like Franco Harris last night. It was if Mike Tomlin took a page from an old Chuck Noll playbook, calling on Rashard Mendenhall early and often in the Steelers’ 24-19 victory. Mendenhall carried the ball 10 times in the first quarter, something no Steelers running back had done in a postseason game in more than 30 years.  But Franco Harris did it three times for Noll’s teams during the 1970s.  Awww to heck with it.  I’m gonna say it.  Same Old J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!  The Jets failed to score on a 17-play, 80-yard drive in the fourth quarter.  That was the longest drive (that is, most plays) resulting in no points in a postseason game since the Giants came up empty on a 19-play drive against the Vikings in January 2001.  Not to worry, the Giants were winning 41-0 in the NFC title game at the time.  Unfortunately for the Jets, they weren’t winning, and now order has been restored in the world.

Peace out Jets. Six two and even!

Don’t you forget about me. Don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t you forget about me. -Simple Minds

If you’re like me, you’re rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. If you’re like me, you’d like to see them crush the Jets like little tiny ants. Like Kids in the Hall, “I’m crushing your head. I’m crushing your head.” But before the Steelers crush any heads on Sunday, I’d like you to do one thing for me, can you do that? Sure you can. Before the Steelers crush any heads on Sunday, I want you to remember Myron Cope. Yoi! Before you start waving your Terrible Towels on Sunday, remember Myron Cope. Double yoi! With his unique nasal voice and distinctive Pittsburgh area accent, Cope was a part of the Steelers’ landscape for almost forty years. Heck, Dr. Cope was the Pittsburgh Steelers. Myron said stuff like, Mmm-Hah! Stuff like, Okel Dokel. Stuff like, feh, yoi, double yoi and if you were really really lucky, triple Yoi! He was an innovator. A sports creator. This is a story about a brother I know. Cut Creator on the fader now watch him go. Go, go, Cut Creator go! Go, go, Myron Cope, go! He was Chris Berman before there was a Chris Berman. Made up nicknames. Very peculiar names. Funny names. Strange names. Pet names. Names like the Bus, Jack Splat and Slash. But Myron’s Cope’s proudest achievement was the creation of the Terrible Towel. So when you’re singing your Pittsburgh Steeler Polka and wavin’ that Terrible Towel, please, please, remember Myron Cope. He’d do it for you.

Peace out homies. Six two and Even!

We’re from the town with that great football team.  We cheer the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Winning’s a habit, not only a dream.  Go out and get them Steelers!  -Jimmy Psihoulis

In all fairness, I don’t think I can do this one straight.  In all fairness, I hate the New York Jets.  In all fairness, that game last week messed up my head a little bit. In all fairness, I’m not thinking straight. This is what I’m thinking:

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 »

I just wanted to be the first to get this thing up before it goes viral.  And believe me, it will go viral.

I hope that you’re happy now like you’re supposed to be.  And I know that this will hurt you more than it hurts me.  -Elvis Costello

I’ve been meaning to get to this one.  Making my stomach upset, this one.  Put me in oxyen debt, this one.  First, a little background.  When I was a kid, my best friend’s brother played on those BC teams with Doug Flutie.  So, when I was a kid, I was at all those BC games with Doug Flutie.  I was there as  Flutie led BC to three bowl games in three years.  I was in Foxborough when Flutie beat Alabama.  I was at Alumni Stadium when Fluite beat Clemson.  I was at a lot of games when Doug Flutie beat a lot of teams.  Needless to say, there’s a special place in my heart for Doug Flutie.  You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul.  You’ll be my breath should I grow old.  That’s why I hold so much disdain for Steve Grogan.         Read More »

She loved him, yeah.  She don’t want to leave this way.  She feeds him, yeah.  That’s why she’ll be back again.  Can’t find a better man…  -Pearl Jam

On Sunday, I shipped off Boston.  On Sunday, I shipped off to Boston to find my wooden leg.  On Sunday, I shipped off Boston so I could watch Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the friendly confines of family.  On Sunday, I shipped off to Boston so I could watch Tom Brady and the New England Patriots with my three older brothers.  Together, we have watched a lot of games.  Together, we have watched a lot of big games.  Important games.  Games that mattered.  Whatever our differences, Boston Sports has always kept us together.  The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been Boston Sports.  Our lives have rolled by like an army of steamrollers.  They have been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again.  But Boston Sports has marked the time.             Read More »
