Random Chumpservations, Vol 8: Darrelle Revis, LeBron James and conflicted Green Bay Packer fans
Security Blanket How good is Darrelle Revis? I haven’t paid this much attention to an NFL cornerback since Deion Sanders was still in the league and I don’t think even Prime Time’s instincts were this good. Sanders was just a freakish athlete. Revis seems to have an uncanny knack, not only the ball, but for [...]
Random Chumpservations, Vol 7: Meryl Streep, Brett Favre, Prince and post office parking
Streep vs. Streep I’ve never been big on awards shows, particularly those of the Hollywood variety. I’ve just always felt they’re packed with stuffy, snobby, tuxedoed movie stars with whom I have absolutely nothing in common. Don’t get me wrong, I love movies. I just don’t need an awards ceremony to tell me what’s good [...]
NFL Championship Week: Picking the Super Bowl
This is what it comes down to. We have the top two teams that pulled at our heart-strings almost all season, even flat-out telling us they’d try for 16-0 (Thank you, New Orleans), and still delivering themselves into the playoffs with the top seed in their respective conferences. Yes, you know them and read about [...]
The differences between me, you and Brett Favre: A top ten list
10 ) Us: Most of us look better in purple than we do in green and yellow. Brett: So does Brett, but when he changed colors, it upset an entire fan base. 9 ) Us: We all have moments of indecision. Brett: Favre’s are moments of national security. 8 ) Us: Most of us work [...]
2010 NFL Divisional Round Predictions
We picked three of the four Wild Card games correctly, although our overall postseason predictions (found here) were slightly challenged with New York upsetting Cincinnati. However, we decided to stick with our gut and not stray from our winners this week. After all, hype is hype for a reason, and the Jets will fizzle out. [...]
2010 NFL Playoff Predictions: Calling the Super Bowl
If you missed our Wild Card preview (which has yet to be determined), go here. The outcome of those four games leads into this article, which dissects the eventual match-ups, and leads to a Super Bowl winner. We didn’t really take the time to make a pick for the Super Bowl back in the preseason, [...]
2009 NFL MVP Race: Down to Four Candidates
Brett Favre made his comeback worth while. He stared “late-season slide” talk straight in the face, and proceeded to throw six touchdowns and over 600 yards in his last five quarters. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning faded (along with their teams), as they spent their final weeks on the bench of playing like shells of [...]
The 2010 McChumpies: A look to the future
I’m not big on predicting the future. If I were any good at it, I’d be kicking back in a Las Vegas sportsbook, mango daiquiri in one hand, wad of hundreds in the other. But when the good folks at Creative Loafing offered to publish the 2009 McChumpies and wanted me to take a look [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn’t just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, “Who can’t?”. Speaking of former unbeaten [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: Week 16 NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Review
