When you think about it, an eagle is just an older, more mature cousin to the falcon. I guess once you’re a bird, you’re always a bird. Michael Vick finally landed in Philadelphia after an offseason of speculation. The most recent rumors had him signing with the Patriots or Bills, but the Eagles jumped to…… Continue reading Michael Vick signs with Eagles, playing tight end?

Laveranues Coles copies Harrison, gets released
Let’s not get crazy here. Just because Marvin Harrison does something, that doesn’t mean all the old, aging receivers in the league have to do it. But no one told that to Laveranues Coles. Coles is so confident that he can get a long-term deal in free agency that he was willing to give up…… Continue reading Laveranues Coles copies Harrison, gets released
NFL Divisional Championships: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Once again, this weekend, we get a game that could very literally end with a final score of 3-0 and a game that could have a combined score of more than 70 points. Welcome the AFC and NFC championship games. When I logged into the site to get geared up for this weekend, I got…… Continue reading NFL Divisional Championships: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Divisional Playoffs, Part 2: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
So the Cardinals have game — and a run game at that. Of course, who really needs a balanced attack when Larry Fitzgerald can do whatever he wants on the field and you benefit from more than five turnovers? Looks like the Buzzsaw is bound for the next round, so who will get you there…… Continue reading Divisional Playoffs, Part 2: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Wild Card Weekend, Part 2: Sunday’s Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
After a day’s worth of exciting, close games, Sunday is all about defense. The Ravens, Dolphins, Eagles and Vikings have all made a habit of getting after the quarterback and stopping the run. In a playoff setting, I don’t think we see a lot of points today unless the Vikings or Eagles blow it open.…… Continue reading Wild Card Weekend, Part 2: Sunday’s Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
A Fool and His Money in Week 17
It’s craziness in Week 17. Will the playoff teams even bother to start their studs? Will the backups be decent when they get in there? We can attempt to negotiate through the darkness of the last week of the season, but in reality, we’ll just be happy to be at .500 for the season with…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 17
Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
You’re obviously starting your studs at this point. For many of you, it’s the playoffs. For others, it’s the last week before the playoffs (and you should hate that your championship game is in Week 17, where anything goes). This week, whether you are in the playoffs are about to be, is a critical one.…… Continue reading Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
What was happened to the NFL this weekend? After the miserable Tennessee Titans clobbering of the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys butchering of the Seattle Seahawks, I thought at leas the Thursday Night Football matchup of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals might be mildly interesting. Of course, I thought it would be…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 13: Tell me when it’s over
A Fool and His Money in Week 13
While your fantasy season might be coming to an end, there are still plenty of spreads to be picked. Here’s how it’s going down this week… Tennessee Titans at Detroit Lions Fools Take: Titans (-10.5) over LIONS Nick says: How about a round of applause for the Tennessee Titans? Nobody expected an undefeated season, and…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 13
Foolish Thoughts on Week 12: What happened to my weekend
As you might have guessed, my weekend didn’t quite go as planned. You see, I got a new day job in Dallas — and no, it’s not as backup quarterback for the Cowboys despite the fact that Brad Johnson didn’t put up much of a fight. If you’d rather skip the story and get straight…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 12: What happened to my weekend
