We read in Peter King’s MMQB column that former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice was asked to speak at this week’s NFL Meetings. What she said, and what King (and others) wrote about what she said, is so incredibly stupid it makes you wonder how people like this feed themselves, let alone rise to positions [...]
Once upon a time me and my peeps would invade Damon’s at 11:30 when the NCAA Tournament began and spend the next 36 hours in a delicious drunken stupor. I would get so excited that I would actually go through my clothes weeks ahead of time to pick out what I was going to wear–only [...]
I have one big problem with parades–all the people. Parades would be great if they were invite-only, with special VIP sections set aside for folks like me. But they aren’t–it’s first-come, first-served, and I’ll be damned if I was gonna go dahntahn at like 3AM to get a spot by the stage. I parked over [...]
It’s gonna take me awhile to believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers actually won the Super Bowl. When I saw Larry Fitzgerald streak into the endzone I came to terms with the loss. We had a great year. We got to the big game. But when you can’t score a touchdown with three tries from the [...]
Super Sunday. Two weeks sitting on pins and needles and kickoff is just seven hours away. I’m ready–the lid on my emotional kettle is rattling, my hatred for small, inoffensive woodland birds at a fever pitch. I’m gonna go to the gym, have a nice little workout to further stoke the furnace, and get ready [...]
Three days to the Super Bowl and I’ve had it with the hype. Two weeks is perhaps enough time for Hines Ward’s MCL to heal but it’s too much time for the chattering classes to talk the game up. A month ago the Arizona Cardinals were the worst team to ever make the NFL playoffs, [...]
So I’ve been watching ESPN’s Super Bowl coverage for the past week and by far the biggest story so far has been Anquan Boldin’s shocking sideline sucker-punch and attempted strangulation of offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Never before has a coach been the subject of a such a violent felonious assault, and from one of his [...]
The game was over and I sat on the couch sipping a celebratory beer. I never drink during big games–perhaps the most unfortunate of my superstitions. The Steelers had just beaten the hated Ravens to secure a spot in the Super Bowl. The goddam SUPER BOWL. Was I happy? Eh, kinda. I sure was happy [...]
I woke this morning with the sheets balled in my clenched fists. My throat was raw, as if I’d been screaming all night. I remembered the dream I just clawed free from, a swirling grotesque of shrieking and sobbing and pointless violence that I couldn’t stop. And once I realized I was powerless, I surrendered, [...]
Yeesh, been a week since I wrote anything? Pathetic. So much for my plan to post more. And I’m gonna be busy this week writing up stuff for UB’s online championship series, which goes on all week. I actually played in one of the mini-UBOC events (they run mirror events with 10% of the buy-in) [...]
