What’s the worst thing that can happen to a quarterback?  He loses his confidence.  -Terry Bradshaw

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  It’s official.  The quarterback jinx lives on.  Matthew Stafford was just placed on the Lions’ injured-reserve list on Thursday ending his season.  Stafford was the first player chosen in the 2009 draft.  Stafford finished his debut season with a 2-8 record as a starter for Detroit.  Big deal you say?  Who cares you say?  I say that preserves a streak that’s spanned four decades.  Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport… the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat.  Ahhh yes, the agony of defeat.  Since 1967, the first year of the common draft, no quarterback selected with the first overall pick has had a winning record as a starter during his rookie season.  The streak began with Terry Bradshaw, who was taken with the first choice of the 1970 draft.  If  Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen gets chosen with the number one pick by the Cleveland Browns, the streak shall continue.

Public Spectacle:

Peace out homies. Six two and Even!

I said you talk about this, and you talk about that.  When the cat took your tongue, I say you took it right back.  Your mouth is so big, one bite would kill a Big Mac.  -Run DMC

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Whatever happened to what happens in the locker room, stays in the locker room?  Say what you want about Bill Belichick, but his philosophy on what is to be said and more importantly, not to be said is the model all should follow.  He demands that his players be as bland as he is in interview sessions. Anyone, and I mean anyone, who steps out of line can expect repercussions.  This NFL season, it seems there are more than a few folks speaking out of turn.  More than a few folks who should have expected repercussions.          Read More »

Now this looks like a job for me, so everybody just follow me, ’cause we need a little controversy, ’cause it feels so empty, without me.  -Eminem

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Look who’s back, back again.  Troy Polamalu is back.  Tell a friend.  Tell a friend that after two weeks off to rest his knee, Troy Polamalu is back with a vengeance.  Vengeance is a dish best eaten cold.  Vengeance is mine and I will repay, sayeth the Lord.  Polamalu made folks pay last night all right.  Made them pay with three big tackles.  Made them pay with one big interception.  Made them pay with two big passes defended.  When this guy is healthy, nobody’s defense is as good as the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.  Nobody’s.

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Another Sunday in the books.  Like my main Mike Ditka always says, “You can’t win a derby with a donkey… You have a lot of people evaluating talent in the National Football League who don’t know how to evaluate talent.”  I’m one of those people.  Hee haw!  Hee haw!  I’m like Francis the talking mule.  The name’s Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho.  Any of you guys call me Francis, and I’ll kill you.  Also, I don’t like nobody touching me.  Now, any of you Romos touch me, and I’ll kill you.  Ok, ok, enough hijinks.  Let’s see what happened yesterday, shall we?  Yes we shall:        Read More »

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  What’s crack-a-lacking sports fans?  It’s that time of year again.  That time of year.  The air is a little bit crisper.  The air is a little bit cooler.  The air is crisper and cooler and the Pittsburgh Steelers are making yet another run at the NFL Championship.  The NFL.  This is what it’s all about.  Ben Roethlisberger is what it’s all about.  You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out.  You put your right foot in and you shake it all about.  You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around, that’s what it’s all about!       Read More »

But it’s so easy looking at the game the morning after.  Adding up the kisses and the laughter.  Knowing how you’d play it if the chance to play it over ever came.  But then, a Monday morning quarterback never lost a game.  -Frank Sinatra

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  My main man Dan Marino once said, “If you ask any great quarterback, there’s a certain inner confidence that you’re as good as anybody.  But you can’t say who is the absolute best.  To be considered is special in itself.”  Dan Marino may have said that, but I’m not gonna.  I’m gonna tell you who’s best.  I’m gonna tell who’s worst.  I’m gonna tell you about whole bunch of guys in between.  I’m gonna hand out my NFL Preseason awards:  The Quarterback Edition.  Sounds like fun don’t it?  Sure it do!         Read More »
