The Ballad of Rich Jameson

Rich Jameson had an illustrious football career at the University of Louisville, where he set school records in passing yards and TDs, which led him to be known as the Big King on Campus (BIG KOC).  The game of football came to him with ease, so much so that he was able to be out on the town every night and down a sixer of West Sixth IPA, throw back a few Old No. 7s, slay a college floozy, and be at practice the following morning th...

Season 35 Power Rankings

As always, I have sat down at the end of the season to take a stab at trying to predict the remaining outcomes to figure out who will be playing in the playoffs. Here is my predictions:

Of course I get to deal with tie-breakers with both Cleveland/Oakland as well as Carolina/San Francisco. Since they did not have head to head games ...

New Horizons

As the draft excitement rang through the halls of Barclays Arena 7 years ago, many Patriots fans were ecstatic. Season 28 was all about Tom Brady and his retirement tour. The hall of fame QB ended his illustrious career with 37 TDs and 1 MVP award. However, the story of the year was the defense. Despite the talent on that end, and Brady's success on offense, the Patriots found themselves at 7-9 on the year. Ricky Chapstick found himself outside of the postseas...

I will forever be indebted to Aaron Donald. Aside from being the most dominate defensive player in the league over the past 7 seasons, he represented this organization with class and dignity. He has done everything we have asked of him and more. We asked him to play 3-4 DE, NT, and his natural 4-3 DT position. He took on double teams, rushed the passer from the edge, and stuffed runs in the backfield. Having Aaron Donald on the field was like dialing up a big blitz with max coverage. He co...

To find out, I looked at each team's starting offensive lines, and compared the average's of their starting 5 against their team's total rushing yards.

Bengals – Properly Rated

The Bengals have locked up the 1st seed...

New Orleans Saints (13-2)

Week 17 Matchup: New York Giants (10-5)

Playoff Outlook – The Saints just need to win/tie to get the #1 seed. However, if they lose and either the Cowboys or Eagles win their last two games, they will drop down to #2 or #3. If Saints and Rams are tied at #2, the Rams have the head-to-head advantage.

The Saints had a really good draft, but that’s not hard when you own 16 of the first 32 picks. Coo...
