Tom Brady’s Comeback Player of the Year Award is Almost a Tragedy

Posted: 6th January 2010 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
You've got to hand it to Ye Olde Media. Once again, they appear to have voted for a major award without doing their homeworkùyou know, like watching the 2009 NFL season. How else can you explain the comfortable margin of victory with which Tom Brady captured the Comeback Player of the Year award? Perhaps some of them cast their votes in Week Three? Perhaps they got confused and thought that this was the ...

If Roman Polanski Looked Like Michael Vick: He’d Be Rotting in Prison

Posted: 29th September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
What a joke. Put him in prison. Extradite him to America, carry out his sentence, and let him serve his time. It will be a real shame, since he is a genius. Not only that, but he has suffered a lot in his life, and deserves to be happy in his old age. But the same could be said for a lot of criminals. How many gang members on death row grew up ...

Dallas Cowboys Should Fire Wade Phillips Immediately After Game

Posted: 28th September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
The 4th Quarter is here, and Jerry Jones can't be amused right now. Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett are lucky that their team's highly-engaged owner did not walk onto the field early in the fourth quarter to fire them both on the spot. At the time of this article's publication, the Dallas Cowboys maintain a six point lead... ...but that's the problem. It shouldn't even be a game at this point. The offensive play ...
Yes, I'm a 49ers fan, and yes I am devastated that this one ended up in the loss column. But don't feel bad for me. I was just treated to one of the most spectacular and inspirational game-ending victories that this league has seen in years. Maybe I'm some sort of a masochist, but that stake that the 40-year-old vet drove into our team's heart... well, it was amazing to watch. The way the ...

The Naughty New York Jets Keep Tampering With My Feelings

Posted: 22nd September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
It's unclear whether or not the New York Jets actually contacted Michael Crabtree or his agent Eugene Parker. The NFL is currently dealing with the issue, and I will trust their leadership in the handling of the affair. But without any further evidence required, or any judgement withstanding, I can say with complete confidence that the New York Jets are guilty of tampering with my emotions. Part of me wants to congratulate ...

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom: A Marriage Lakers Fans Can Celebrate

Posted: 21st September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NBA
I admit it. There's just no way for me—a normally stoic, meat and potatoes, easily-annoyed sports fan—to hide it any longer I'm absolutely excited about this marriage between Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom. For those of us who have girlfriends, it's hard to go one night without being forced to watch that damn show: Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. I feel like my girlfriend even watches reruns. Or reruns of the reruns. ...
Perhaps Michael Crabtree was right all along. Perhaps he was never meant to fall to No. 10 and get drafted by the 49ers. Maybe he was meant to fall further, into the hands of a team that wanted to air out the ball and put the Texas Tech receiver on SportsCenter five or six times during the season's course. Or, what if there's some truth to those highly-suspect rumors that this is all ...

San Francisco 49ers: What To Love About The Season To Date

Posted: 20th September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
The 49ers are 2-0? It's almost too good to be true. Reflecting upon the last two weeks, there are a lot of reasons for why the 49ers find themselves in a commanding position as they embark upon a tough-as-nails schedule. This afternoon's game against Seattle offered one obvious explanation for their success: Frank Gore. But even No. 21's heroics would not have meant much in previous seasons, where San Francisco routinely ...

Mel Kiper’s Wrong: Michael Crabtree Won’t Be a First Rounder

Posted: 18th September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
"With the 21st Pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select...Randy Moss!" Those words should be haunting Michael Crabtree right now. If Mel Kiper, or Crabtree's deadbeat cousin, or Eugene Parker, or any other delusional dreamers think that he has a snowball's chance of becoming a top 10 pick in the 2010 NFL Draft...all they need to do is remember the quote above. Let's revisit the year 1998, shall we? There ...

Michael Crabtree’s Agent Has Gone Too Far, Betraying His “Brother”

Posted: 12th September 2009 by Bryan Goldberg in NFL
Eugene Parker is a smart man. He is a great agent, an astonishing businessman, and he is a recognized leader in the African-American community. But he isn't God—and, right now, he doesn't even look like a man of God. For a man who claims to be unwavering in his religious values, Eugene Parker is committing a terrible sin. He is brainwashing and ruining the career of a young man who does not ...
