Eli Manning and Wife Commit Crime Against Fashion

Putz. We’ve made the case for New York Giants QB Eli Manning being one on numerous occasions, such as when he has a buzz (slide 4 of 18 in the picture gallery) or when he gets lucky and wins the Super Bowl.
And wife Abby McGrew seemed fine, so we thought his April marriage to her might […]

We Aren’t the Only Ones Still Bummed About Big Brown’s Loss

Take fellow blogger Mike Hayes, who has made us very jealous went on a Triple Crown trek hoping to see the action live when history was made.
He made us even more jealous also saw Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick at the 2007 U.S. Open and the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants in […]

5 (Or So) Questions We’d Ask Matt Walsh

Spygate’s D-Day has come as first-class traitor former New Patriots Patriots staff assistant Matt Walsh has his sit-down with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and then Senator Arlen Specter.
Walsh turned over videotapes last week but the much-anticipated footage of the pre-Super Bowl XXXVI walkthrough of the St. Louis Rams‘ practice was not among them. Expect Walsh to […]

Minister Comments on Eli Manning’s Big Hands at Wedding Ceremony

New York Giants QB and Super Bowl Lucky Duck Eli Manning and his longtime sweetie Abby McGrew got married at a sunset beachside ceremony in Mexico on Saturday. And here we thought those pictures of a less-than-100%-sober Manning that hit the blogosphere would have given her cold feet.

Eli Manning to Get Hitched; Media Lovefest Continues

While at the grocery store on Saturday, we spotted a New York Post headline announcing Eli Manning’s impending marriage. However, we were so nauseated by the description of him as “Super Eli” that we promptly erased it from memory for the sake of our stomach contents.
Yet when devoted reader Pat sent it our way this morning, […]

When a New England Fan Goes to Buffalo

The Bee and I shuffled off to Buffalo, NY this weekend for a social event. Here’s what I discovered, sports-wise:
1. It’s too soon to face New York Giants fans. Except for the part where we snarkily said, “Enjoy it while it lasts because the Giants won’t get another ring any time soon,” there’s nothing enjoyable about rehashing […]

Ridiculously Overpaid Tom Coughlin Finalizes Deal

The New York Giants have thrown away money compensated coach Tom Coughlin with a $21M, 4-year deal. The contract was finalized today.
Not bad for a guy who was thisclose to a pink slip early in the 2007 season when the Giants stumbled out of the starting gate.
Obviously, the deal is a reflection of the Super Bowl win, but we’re […]

Brett Favre Over and Out

Brett Favre, QB of the Green Bay Packers and shoo-in Hall of Famer, is hanging up his cleats after 17 years.
It’s not much of a surprise, and we can’t claim to have been on the Favre cheerleading squad. (Though we don’t dislike him; it’s more of a vanilla flavor, not unlike the excitement level of Tony […]

It’s STILL Good to be Tom Brady

After the New England Patriots became dead to us lost the Super Bowl, a mess of questions popped up.
Why didn’t they cover Plaxico Burress better on that last drive by the New York Giants? What’s with the fourth down run in field goal territory? Why did Bill Belichick wear a red hoodie? And after the […]

The REAL Reason the Patriots Lost

Given as we are to deep thoughts, we need to make sense out of the darkest of sports moments we experience as sports fans. (Let’s say, for example, the New England Patriots playing their worst game in years and losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants, who weren’t that much sharper until the very end).
We […]
