The New York Giants and New England Patriots are squaring off in a rematch of one of the most thrilling Super Bowls in NFL history. Television ratings and fan interest thanks to the presence of two large media markets should be sky high. Continue reading
All right Jackasses. Here’s your football post. Continue reading
There is a saying in football: Offense sells tickets but defense wins championships. In the divisional round, two predominantly defensive teams overcame some high-powered offenses. The Giants went into Lambeau and dominated the Packers. The Niners beat the Saints in a 4th quarter shootout (wait what?). The Patriots handed the Broncos their asses in a blowout and the Ravens escaped with a victory over a very game (but inexperienced) Texans team. Continue reading
I’ll be brief since Houston is already blowing it against Baltimore. Later tonight, the Giants will probably break my heart. Continue reading
It is time for the Rapture my friends. Huddle close with your loved ones for the day of judgement has arrived and the mighty Timothy Tebow will rise up, throw inaccurate short passes, one decent long pass, run around and induce erotic asphyxiation among older white males. There is no hope, do not fall prey to false idols such as the mumbling coach with a bad haircut and a fondness for married women and the well-coiffed quarterback from the England of New. Their wickedness in the Tuck Rule Game must be avenged. Continue reading
The Wild Card round has come and gone and as I correctly predicted it was pretty blah, with the exception of one game. The Giants and Texans spanked the Falcons and Bengals respectively. The Broncos won in the shortest overtime ever over a battered Steelers team, and the Saints decided to run up the score on the Lions (more on this later). Coming up in the divisional round, we have several rematches from the regular season and one that was played during the preseason that even has a bit of a story line. Let’s just dive right in to each game: Continue reading
It’s playoff time. Sadly, this year the first round looks pretty bland with very little chance at any upsets (although the Seahawks proved that anything can happen in the playoffs). None of the games are true rivalry games and some of these teams are so devastated by injuries they are starting guys who were sitting on the couch drinking beer 3 months ago, so let’s dive right in to round 1 of the NFL playoffs: Continue reading
Injuries happen every year, yet this year the bug has seemed to bite the quarterback position particularly hard. The Houston Texans are starting TJ Yates, who I swear played eight collegiate seasons at North Carolina. The Chiefs are starting Tyler Palko, a guy who was cut from the United Football League’s California Redwoods in 2009. If you looked at the Week 13 starters in the NFL Rex Grossman wouldn’t even be in the bottom five, and that’s quite a thing. Continue reading
What matchups are you watching this week? I’m curious for the Saints to get their first look at Cam Newton. Curious, too, to see whether the Jets’ defense will be effective against the Pats’ offensive machine. And the Packers-Falcons game should be really good: the Falcons haven’t been close to champs material this season, but at home, they’ve got a good shot at handing the Packers their first loss. Meanwhile, into the meat of the season, we’ve hit the first week of byes for some teams. Did you take that into account, Crasstalk FFers? Let’s get down to brass tacks and talk some smack.
That’s right, heterosexuals! Princess Lady Dame Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone her very own self is in talks to perform the halftime show at this year’s Superbowl.

Let’s see… sweaty muscle men in shiny tight lycra pants plus Madonna. Also, football players. I’m afraid the gays win this one.
