As a 49ers fan, I don’t get to see AFC teams as often as I’d like. Because of the way the NFL does the scheduling, I only get to see AFC teams play the 49ers once every three years. I watch many of the big nationally televised games, and of course, the playoffs and the Super Bowl, so I do get to see them, but not enough as I’d like. (And before I get people screaming NFL Ticket at me, […]
10 Yard Fight – The Grab
The sun has set. The dust has settled. And while I rarely toot my own horn for my NFL predictions (since predicting games has as much to do with luck as it does skill), I have to point out that I picked all four NFL divisional games right on down to the upsets. Proof . Next weekend, in the conference championships, the New England Patriots will host the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers will host the New York Giants. […]
10 Yard Fight – Tebow-mania Is Runnin’ Wild!
If I could compare Tim Tebow to someone, it would be Hulk Hogan. Why Hulk Hogan? Well, if you were a kid in the mid-80s, you probably remember Hogan’s creed. You train, say your prayers, and eat your vitamins. Hogan’s vitamins were a little more potent than yours and mine, but is there a better comparison? The Hulkster was the Real American. He’d be losing every match against bigger and badder foes. But the crowd would start to roar. He’d […]
10 Yard Fight – The Road To The Super Bowl
If you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan, you’re upset that your team held their destiny in their own hands and laid another egg on Sunday Night Football, falling to the New York Giants. The Giants continue on while the Cowboys go home. If you’re an Oakland Raiders fan, you’re upset because you needed the Denver Broncos to lose and they did, and yet, you couldn’t beat the San Diego Chargers to win the AFC West. The Broncos continue on while the […]
10 Yard Fight – Oh Romeo
The NFL absolutely doesn’t make sense sometimes. A team can underachieve all season long, then play the best team in football and look like world beater. After being one of last year’s upstarts, the Chiefs have looked at times like one of the worst teams in football. But they have enough wins after beating Green Bay, that they still have a prayer of a shot at the playoffs, according to Peter King . And this is after getting rid of their head coach the […]
10 Yard Fight – Consider Yourself Tebowned
I’m not sure exactly when this happened, but at some point, the kids decided to add a P and take away an O from the word “owned” and it became “pwned”. How long until those kids will change it to Tebowned? As if he couldn’t just have a good first half and help his team get an early lead, he did it yet again. The fourth quarter has become Tebow time for Timothy Richard Tebow. After being shut out for […]
10 Yard Fight – The Harbowl
The Turkey Day Harbowl came and went. It was everything it was expected to be. It was a hard hitting defensive struggle, and in the end, the Baltimore Ravens played just a smidgen better on their home field and pulled out the victory over the San Francisco 49ers. I blogged it if you missed it . The Ravens sacked Alex Smith 9 times and the poor guy probably had nightmares of Terrell Suggs’ big old face. Sorry Primetime Traitor, I refuse to call him T-Sizzle. Whoops. (In […]
10 Yard Fight – I’m Tebowing
I was thinking about why Tim Tebow was so fun to root for and so fun to root against. He’s not normal. We can’t analyze him like we can others. It’s because his analytics show him as the worst quarterback this side of David Carr. What’s weird is that he’s 4-1 and you can’t really put your finger on as to why. People say, “He’s a winner.” Is it that easy? Does he inspire his team to play harder and […]
