« Previous EntriesDickerson Is Rec Specs and Turtlenecks
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008I’d like to thank ‘87 Topps for two things: 1) being the last great Topps football set of my youth and 2) reminding us of how great Eric Dickerson really is, and how ridiculous he looks.
Frerotte Still Gets No Respect, I Tell Ya
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008As you probably noticed, Gus Frerotte was named the QB for the Vikings this weekend. We’d like to think this is due to the undeniable truth that Frerotte is, and always has been, Fr’real, but really, it has more to do with Tarvaris Jackson being the worst starting QB in the league. Well, aside from […]
Skins Secondary Gets Two Big Breaks
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008All things considered, the Skins defense played pretty well in Week 1. They held the Giants to 16 points, including two big redzone stops and a shutout in the second half. But the glaring problem was the secondary, and specifically, Carlos Rogers, who was forced to start and play the entire game thanks to Shawn […]
Madden ‘09 Thinks Collins > Campbell
Monday, June 2nd, 2008At a BBQ yesterday, my friend Brian asked the guys huddled around the grill who should start for the Skins in ‘08: Campbell or Collins?

Pat Tillman’s Mom Still Has a Story to Tell
Monday, June 2nd, 2008Dave Zirin is, among other things, author of the excellent Welcome to the Terrordome and host of Edge of Sports radio on XM, where he spoke with Mary Tillman last week. It’s a terrific interview (mp3; read the transcription), and here’s but one of many compelling excerpts:
I want to ask about John McCain, because I’ve […]
Benson Enjoys Sun Chips, Snow Flakes
Thursday, May 8th, 2008This photo, taken by one of the female passengers on Cedric Benson’s boat on Saturday a couple hours before Ced was wrongfully pepper sprayed and beaten by cops, was submitted to the Chicago Sun-Times yesterday. Look at the incredible buzz that the 5-0 had to kill:
In the foreground: Benson, his moms, and current Longhorn Deon […]
My Favorite Player in the 2008 NFL Draft
Thursday, April 24th, 2008MJD is conducting Q&As with draft picks over at Shutdown Corner, and today’s subject, Georgia Tech RB Tashard Choice, is a gem. Read the interview, and dig this pregame speech that MJD dug up while researching:
Honestly, if Smash Williams had delivered that before a Dillon Panthers game it would have come off as too scripted. […]
Frerotte Is Fr’Realing Minnesota (Again)
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Because Gus Frerotte has started more games for the Redskins than other QB since ‘90, we have a special affinity for the man.
And, because Gus just signed up for his second stint with the Vikings, we’re breaking out what’s sure to be the best-selling garment in T-Shop history: Frerotte Is Fr’Realing Minnesota.
Buy it now, thank me later, Big Daddy Drew and my parents’ […]
