Due to the fact I have chosen the height of the football playoffs to relocate, I could not give the intense, thorough, analytical dissection of today's games that you have come to expect.Instead I sought advice from Vinnie, from Vinnie's Moving Service.

Like I did last year, I checked in with a fan of each team playing this weekend in order to get a better handle on which team will win. I find the physical and mental well being of a team’s fans has a direct correlation to their success... or failure.Ravens Fan- I have completely forgone dental care for 10 years in order to pay for these season tickets. I need them to win another Super Bowl to

And this house is perfect for it. You’ve got a hug swimming pool, a game room with billiards and video games, and a fully loaded bar.

Dear Miami Dolphins,We’ve been going together for as long as I can remember. We’ve had our ups. 17-0 season. A.J. Duhe mud-drenched INT for a TD against the Jets. The Marino Era. And we’ve had our downs. Super Bowls 17 & 19 and the entire past 6 years.After last season’s 1-15, we had a huge fight. Said things to each other that neither of us can ever take back, then went our separate ways. I

They say the NFL is full of surprises, but is it really? Shouldn’t we have known ahead of time many of the events that occurred this season. You can see it coming like a Brett Favre 4th quarter interception.Here are my picks for Week 15 with some things that have shocked me just like Capt.

1. The words “Star Caps” will be mentioned more times that “catch by Shockey.”2. There will be at least three cutaways to some idiot in the stands with his shirt off.3. There will be at least 5 cutaways to a cheerleader so bundled up you are not sure if it’s an attractive women or a person with severe case of Hypertrichosis.

Unfortunately, those layoffs did not include some in America’s favorite game.Along with my picks for Week 14, here are some people who need to join the ranks of the unemployed when last month’s job lost record gets broken in December.My picks are in bold.Bengals +13.5 at ColtsChad Johnson because if you outlandishly

1. By the third quarter, the game will be so bad that the NFL Network will cut away to the NHL Network.2. Audience members will wet their pants when they get sight of Sebastian Jankowski coming toward them in 3-D.3. Instead of the San Diego Chargers, the announcers will consistently refer to them as the “Underperforming Chargers.”4. Al Davis will call down to the field demanding they put Fred

“Burress Shoots Self in the Leg.” At first I thought the editor got the headline wrong. He meant to say Plaxico shot himself in the foot for some stupid comment he made. Nope. Crazy man literally shot himself in the leg. Not while hunting, but while at some nightclub. I’ve always said that doing “The Robot” was going to get someone hurt.As outrageous as that headline is, it is nothing compared to

This year's offering of Thanksgiving NFL games might cause more people to upchuck than the thousands of undercooked turkeys served this holiday season.These games are so bad, there is nothing I can say or write that will convince you to watch them...unless of course, your ability to pay off your car loan is dependant on the outcome.In that case, I suggest treating these games like the dogs they

Donovan McNabb did not know that a regular season game could end in a tie. So what? He is only getting paid millions of dollars to play the game, why should he be expected to know all the “rules.” The CEOs of the nation’s automakers, banks, insurance companies, and investment companies get paid more than McNabb and know even less about the rules of their respective sports.Not knowing the overtime

Five Things that will happen in the Bengals/Steelers game tonight1. Ocho Cinco nee Chad Johnson will be talked about more that the starting QB for Cincinnati, what’s his name.2. There will be a lot of yapping and finger pointing, but no Bengal will get a clean (or even a dirty) shot on Hines Ward as he has 8 catches for 94 yards and one TD.3. Cris Collinsworth will provide more actual

Last week, I took the Manny Ramirez approach to picking games. I didn’t give it much thought; I just went up there and swung away. And just like Manny, I hit for power and average, picking 11 out 13 right.Also, just like Manny, I am taking the week off from giving insight commentary because:a) I pulled a hammie.

The week saw monumental change come to America. After what seemed like forever, a chance to lead was given to someone who most people never dreamed would have that opportunity.Brady Quinn was finally named starter of the Cleveland Browns.And they promptly went out and blew a fourth quarter lead. So maybe not all change is effective. In the spirit of all that is new in America’s political and

During halftime of the Seahawks beating up the 49ers, San Fran coach Mike Singletary dropped his pants to illustrate his contempt toward his team and its performance. He hoped the sight of his bare buttocks would motivate his team to play better. It didn’t work.But just like 99 cent greeting cards and gas gift cards, it is the thought that counts.Now Singletary’s motivational attempts might have

The Phillies have won game five of the World Series... according to Las Vegas Sports Books.According to Nevada gaming regulations, a game that goes more than five innings but is stopped, must go back to the score of the last completed inning. So the 2-1 score after five innings counts and the books are paying off those people who bet the Phils.If Tampa end up winning the game, Rays bettors will

The most popular soap opera on TV (among the male demo of 18-35) is the riveting episodes of “The National Football League.” It’s got plenty of drama, violence, intrigue, sex...all of which occurs between Tuesday through Saturday. Sundays are actually becoming the boring part of football. Recent episodes had given us plenty of reasons to curl up on the couch, wrap our favorite team’s flannel

After an abysmal week 6, I am taking the bye week to install a new offense and looking to promote some players from the practice squad.I am holding this special personal mini-camp in an uninhabited region of the Rocky Mountains.

Weird thing happened this week. I got a call on Wednesday at 3:00am from John McCain.That part was not so weird since he often calls me at all hours of the night. Usually we chat about old movies, reality TV and fun recipes that can be done under 30 minutes. But this night, he wanted to talk about football.
