But whatever, it’s bowl season. This is totally appropriate. It is a mark of how little college football I watch that I haven’t noticed this earlier; sorry, I can only give up one day of my weekend for American football. Maybe it should be Saturday, but right now it’s Sunday, so tough darts, Oregon Ducks [...]

We are late to the party on this one.

Ben Roethlisberger is a rapist.

You know who’s not a rapist? Almost everyone in the NFL. For example, second-string right guard for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Justin Smiley: Congratulations, Justin Smiley. You are more awesome than Ben Roethlisberger. Keep up the good work!
The NFL has a PEDs problem.

And they’re doing nothing about it. Say what you will about Bud Selig. He’s thinking about ruining the postseason, and he’s kind of a weenie, and perhaps most damningly, he was commissioner in 1994 (we don’t like to talk about what happened that year). He also presided over the steroids era. But–and this is a [...]
Sports fandom is not a zero-sum game.

There were prime-time NFL games during not one but two World Series games. Incidentally, these were both good baseball games. Neither football game was that interesting. Sunday Night Football got better ratings than Game 4; Monday Night Football lagged slightly behind Game 5. This state of affairs as a whole is unsatisfactory. First off: yes, [...]
The NBA season starts one week too early.

I’m sure it’s clear to readers of this blog (and people with souls) that no month of the year comes close to being as awesome as October. There are some Philistines who will probably argue for April–start of baseball, end of March Madness (which seems like cheating), and the start of NBA and NHL postseasons, [...]
No, Ben Roethlisberger IS worse than Michael Vick.

Yes, you cry more when Old Yeller bites it than when pretty much any person dies in any movie. This is okay, because, and this is important, it is not real life. Animal abuse is reprehensible. Mr. Vick was a bad person and is a convicted criminal. However. Hurting a human being is always–always–worse than [...]
Ben Roethlisberger can go jump in a lake.

Apparently he wants a shorter ban. I recommend not being a scuzbucket, sir. Usually works. You don’t do something scuzzy and probably illegal, you don’t get suspended. Not assaulting someone for a couple of months on the trot is not grounds for leniency. It’s not often I agree with Terry Bradshaw, but he’s right in [...]
The Eagles will wear real uniforms for their opener.

I hate the “midnight” green uniforms. I didn’t grow up with them, they’re going to look really dated around, oh, yesterday, and they are mostly just terrible. They don’t look real. Well, finally, the front office have realized that a change might be nice–and that maybe the change we want is not necessarily one that [...]
Denver just blew it.

If by “it” I mean “their chances at having the hottest qb corps of all time.” Seriously, you bring Brady Quinn into town only to ditch Chris Simms the next day? Someone in your front office is obviously making decisions based on things other than aesthetic pleasures. What is up with that? To review: You [...]
The NFL off-season is ridiculous.

It’s just the post-season for some teams, but for others, the madness has set in. With a vengeance. Some headline examples: “Dick Vermeil sings praises of Mike Martz for Chicago Bears offensive coordinator position“ “Rich Gannon is slighted by Oakland Raiders’ rejection of help“ “Detroit Lions’ 2-14 finish unacceptable, GM Martin Mayhew says“ All of [...]
