Yeah…..This might just be the dumbest video you’ll see all day. This guy blows. White, hick rappers are annoying. Spear us with your Panthers rap anthem dude. Its worse than Champion by Brandon Capp and the immortal Randy Lo.

For 50 minutes on Sunday the Pittsburgh Steelers plan was working to perfection.  Their defense kept the Denver Broncos out of the end zone and their injury-riddled offense managed to make just enough plays to secure a 13-12 lead.  And they were driving again.  Then it happened.  Second year running back Fitzgerald Toussaint fumbled the ball back to Denver, ending the drive and giving new life to the Broncos.  A…

It’s hard to recall a team as talented as Seattle getting so thoroughly dominated in the first half of a playoff game, the way the Seahawks were manhandled by the Carolina Panthers.  From the 59-yard run by Jonathan Stewart on the first play from scrimmage, to the 19-yard bullet from Cam Newton to Greg Olsen to put the Panthers ahead 31-0, Seattle was completely and totally embarrassed by their opponent….

Surprisingly, Arizona and Green Bay turned out to be the best game of the Divisional Playoffs.  While there were a lot of surprises and drama that happened in the first 59 minutes, all anyone was talking about was three plays.   Play #1, 4th and 20:  Trailing 20-13 with 55 seconds left quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense was facing a 4th and 20 from their own 4-yard…

I hope Bill Belichick and Gary Kubiak are watching. These are some quality pointers to live by. If Not So Ray Lewis can’t motivate you, I don’t know who can? Seriously. The guy is a master motivator.

All it took was one drive.  After meandering through the injury plagued final weeks of the season with uninspired play, bizarre coaching decisions, and un-Patriot like mistakes, New England needed all of 4 minutes and 33 seconds to right the ship.  With a rare opportunity to open the game on offense, Tom Brady lined up in shotgun and proceeded to carve and slice his way through the Kansas City defense,…

The Detroit Tigers signed outfielder Justin Upton to a 6 year, $132 million dollar contract on Monday. The 28 year old spent last season with the Padres. Baseball insiders have been critical of the deal because they view it as too much money for a player who strikes out a lot. What?? I love the deal for the Tigers. It reinforces the notion that they have become one of baseball’s…

What a difference three weeks can make. Three weeks ago the Montreal Canadiens embarrassed the Bruins at the WinterClassic. Last night the B’s returned the favor beating the Canadiens 4-1 in Montreal. The Bruins scored first last night and never looked back in a dominant performance. It was nice payback after getting their asses handed to them by Montreal at the Classic.  Unlike the Winter Classic, the Bruins were healthy…

Remember in the 1980’s when Wendy’s used to ask, where’s the beef? Celtics fans are now asking, where’s the D? Since the calendar flipped to 2016, the Celtics defense has gotten worse. Earlier this season, Boston was ranked in the top ten in defense. Lately however, they’ve looked anything like a top ten defense. The Celtics have given up an average of 108 points per game in their last seven…
