The Two-Front War against the NFL

The tragedies surrounding Dave Duerson last year, Junior Seau last month and […]

Ed Hochuli’s Worst Nightmare
I’ll be honest, I haven’t paid all that much attention to the contract squabbles going on between the NFL & the referees union. Why would I? The sun is finally out in Seattle and the NBA and NHL playoffs are at full speed, there just isn’t room in the noggin to be all that concerned […]

Twitter Provides Brief Glimpse into NFL Post-game Conversation
I’ve always wondered why there aren’t more fights after NFL games. These guys spend 60 minutes trying to maim each other, and yet they join in the middle of the field after the game and give out man hugs like they were Skittles at a 5-year old birthday party. Logan Mankins punches a guy in […]
