Monday Headlines: Did Tennessee Quit On Jeff Fisher Sunday?

Posted: 19th October 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
While watching the Buffalo Bills-New York Jets game yesterday which turned out to be very good, James Brown kept interrupting the game for his infamous Game Breaks, highlights and scores from other games. At first he showed the Patriots put up a couple of scores against the Titans. Cool, Tom Brady is performing at his highest level again. Expected it. Brown's next game break wasn't even fathomable. Or so I thought. Brady and ...

Tuesday NFL Hangover: Five Best and Worst Of Week Five

Posted: 13th October 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
I must admit, I didn't see this one coming. Not at all. I feel like a drunk guy who talked to a woman and obtained her phone number, only to realize the next day that she looked more like Marion Berry than Halle Berry. I never thought a guy could have this stat line: 2/17, 23 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 15.1 passer rating... and actually win the game. I felt like somebody ...

NFL Busts: Who Is Stinkin’ It Up So Far In ’09?

Posted: 6th October 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
See those gloves Braylon Edwards is wearing in the picture on the right? With his stat-line so far in 2009, looks like he's not using them. Or any part of his six-foot-three frame, including his brain buried under his over-inflated ego, which caused him to apparently punch LeBron James' friend after a night on the town for virtually no reason. Or the fact that James is the only major athlete in Cleveland that ...

10 Random Sports Thoughts To Free My Mind Of Clutter

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
As I rose out of my bed on this great Wednesday morning that featured cloudy skies and rain, my mind felt cluttered with sports thoughts. It was almost like that Bing commercial when the guy is lying down for bed, and as his wife asks him questions, he keeps answering with these random thoughts that he saw as he searched the Internet. They called it, "search overload." I call it, "sports overload." Here ...

NFL Week Three Picks and Tweets from Winners and Losers

Posted: 23rd September 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
As much as it hurts me to put a Giant as the picture that corresponds with this article, I have to admit—as a Cowboys fan—that Eli Manning played an amazing game to open up the new Cowboys Stadium. Seriously, could Eli and the Giants have handed Dallas a worse opening present? Manning played excellently, repeatedly reading the Cowboys' defense to the tune of a 300-yard passing performance and most importantly, a win. What's ...

Battle of the “New’s”: Will Tom Brady and Company Get a Win?

Posted: 18th September 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
We all witnessed the New England Patriots have a close call last week against the Buffalo Bills that was mere minutes from leaving them with a 0-1 home start. Tom Brady didn't exactly look like the 16-0 regular season record-breaking QB we witnessed just two seasons ago. Buffalo harassed him and made him make mistakes and all but won until the last five minutes of the game. Oh, and until then Brady was ...

Did the Buffalo Bills Just Set the Tone for the 2009 Season?

Posted: 15th September 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
The Buffalo Bills just laid an egg—a big, fat, ugly, 200-pound egg—in the form of a loss that should have never happened to the New England Patriots. In Tom Brady's epic return to pro football, the Bills gave him all he could handle, but also all he could ask for in a one-point victory in Foxboro. Don't get me wrong; Brady flat-out earned that win, courageously standing upright in a pocket that ...

Monday Morning Hangover: 10 Thoughts on the NFL’s Opening Week

Posted: 14th September 2009 by Samuel Bell Jr in NFL
What do a 27-year-old wannabe sports writer and Tom Brady have in common? We're both nearly 6'4"? Maybe we both like tossing footballs around? Oh, we're both good-looking? All of the above is true, but there's one big thing we have in common: We're both making comebacks tonight. Well, today. I've been on a three-week hiatus from Bleacher Report because the Internet has suddenly become too rich for my taste. We all ...
