Eric Coleman, Pink Raiders Win CFCC 2011!!by SugarNo matter if you loved it, or hated it, the 2011 College Football Season is now history, punctuated (or not) by the incredible defense of the Alabama Crimson Tide in their defeat of LSU for the National Championship! Congratulations 'Tide! Nick Saban's price just went up again and the SEC continues to dominate the college football BCS. And what in the heck was wrong with Jordan Jefferson? Alabama's D is good, but he had that "Dear in the Headlights" look the whole game. Eric Coleman, from Boca Raton, Florida also had a look in his eye...the look of domination as he sprinted from 6th place after Week 13 t... >> Read more... NFL or UFL?by exRegionalWeenieIf football didn't already have a UFL, I would start a petition to rename the NFL to the Unpredictable Football League. Half of Week 15's games made no sense. The hapless 0-13 Colts rolled to their first win...against a Tennessee Titans team which was supposed to be motivated by a playoff push. Yeah, right. Two other teams that were sniffing the playoffs lost to teams with losing records. At home. Convincingly. Nice job, Giants and Bears. And then there was the real back-breaker...a Johnny Knox style back-breaker...when Green Bay suffered its first loss...to Kansas City!! Poof - there goes your 14 or 15 pick. This week... >> Read more... |
Final Four, NFL Styleby exRegionalWeenieThank goodness the NY Giants upset Green Bay. Otherwise, at the mid point of the NFL playoffs, the post-season would have been been unusually predictable. After all, we were on the verge of having BOTH the AFC and NFC conference championship games match a No.1 vs a No. 2 seed. The fate of the PFCC leader board will now be determined by a Final Four of New England, Baltimore, San Francisco, and the NY Giants. If you went against the grain and chose a wild card team other than the Giants to make a big run in the post-season (e.g., Saints), well, too bad for you. Heavy underdog Denver had the best shot at going from rags to riches when they began by upsetting Pittsburgh. How in the world did the Steelers make Tebow look like a good NFL quarterback? 316 yards? Really? Oh well, just a week later Tebow looked inept while being dominated by New England's defense. The good Lord giveth, and the good Lord taketh away, I suppose. The 275 of us hard core dirty-dawgers who submitted Super Bowl Blowout picks have had our ups and downs so far. Our consensus #8 was stung by lowly consensus #2 (Pitt/Denver game) and our consensus #11 pick New Orleans Saints fell to consensus #7 San Francisco 49ers. The Super Bowl Blowout weekly standings at the playoff midpoint show Dale Lininger of Buda, TX, at the top. You never heard of Buda, TX? Me, too, and I lived in Texas for over 13 years. So, I looked it up - it's a small town of 6,000 people outside of Austin. And get this - the first sentence on the city's official web page says that they have "...big plans for the future that are equal parts pragmatic and idyllic." In Texan, that translates to "Tea Sippers welcome, Rednecks and Aggies go home" as determined by the two interns in dirty-dawg's Linguistics Division. The overall standings with just 3 games left in the season have Jacksonville, Florida's Jason Hess in the top spot with a 23... >> Read more... |
