AFC title game recap

Hell of a game. I have never seen Brady struggle so much in a playoff game before. Sure it wasnt really his fault but that was ridiculous. Even more ridiculous was not changing the snap count the entire game. Demarcus Ware and Von Miller were in his lap within two seconds of the snap. You have to make that fuckin adjustment. This game also proves that you need to be able to run the ball (at least a little bit) to beat good teams in the playoffs period. This Denver defence is for real, they literally have no weakness. Two probowlers up front and three in the secondary is beyond ridiculous. They showed just how dominate they can be by holding the Patriots in check all game, that doesn't fuckin happen. Not to mention they covered Peyton's ass in the second half. He had maybe two good drives all game ( the two tds to Daniels), other then that he kind of struggled. The beauty of Denver is he doesnt have to be the Peyton Manning of old, he just needs to be Alex Smith. The defence has proven they can carry this team. All in all a very entertaining game between two of the best to ever do it. Interesting to note: Brady now has five playoff loses to the Manning brothers. Imagine the dynasty the Pats would have if not for those Patriot killers.

Tom Brady

The man, the myth, the legend. A fixture of professional sports for the last 20 years. Tom Brady seemed destine to ride off into the sunset on a half functional body and a relatively intact brain, donning a Patriots jersey. It seems that the ancient quarterback and his morally inept team had something else in mind. Brady met with Belicheck and thats that, no progress, no give and take. It seemed like a rather Belicheckian end to a 20 year long domination tour. The coach, of course, is known as an analytical decision maker who rather cut a player too early than too late. Anyone who watched Brady last year saw a noticeable drop in all statistical categories. When you arer 42 years old it is not unreasonable to see a steady decline in production. Just like that the six time superbowl champion hit the open market. It was not long before an ancient coach enamoured with ancient quarterbacks swooped in and took a chance on the hall of fame quarterback. From Brady's perspective, this is a ...

The XFL rule that the NFL must adopt

Image
The XFL has burst onto the scene. By burst I mean the league has yet to fold. In all seriousness, as a football fan I am just happy there is semi-coherent football being played. Sure quarterback play isn't up to snuff (with the exception of a couple guys) but the XFL is doing something very cool. Other leagues have failed because they try and emulate or compete with the NFL. The XFL had basically filled a need (spring football) and provided enough wild concepts to keep your average fan somewhat interested. Honestly thats all football loving degenerates like myself need. The NFL would be wise to check their immense egos and improve their game through a key rule change.  The adoption of the XFL's revolutionary kickoff structure is a must for the league. If you are unfamiliar, the kicker kicks off from the normal distance (the 30). The gunners and blocker are placed in a stationary position at the opponents 35, facing each other. The kicker then kicks the ball and the players a...

The bizarre saga of Myles Garrett

Image
This Myles Garrett stuff is wild. If your not familiar with the situation, the Cleveland Browns defensive end tried to decapitate an opponent. The opponent in question, Mason Rudolph got into a tussle with the adonis that is Garrett. Garrett (who is known for his calm demeanour) saw it fit to remove Rudolph's helmet and attempt to murder him with it. He succeeded in denting the head of the goofy faced quarterback. Garrett was then suspended for the rest of the season. In fact he was just recently reinstated. The Browns defensive end did a reason interview where he claimed that Rudolph called him a big word beginning with the letter n. We all know what I am talking about. Of course the Pittsburgh QB denied all allegations. Looking at this from an outsiders perspective, its hard to say for sure. I do know a few thing though: Rudolph was immediately assisted by his offensive lineman who are also black. In fact the head coach of the Steelers, Mike Tomlin (also of African american de...
