SNF – Cardinals/Colts Live Blog – 4th Quarter
10:51: The man who vanquished the ’06 Patriots, Marlon Jackson, intercepts Kurt Warner and we’re off and running into the fourth. 10:57: Michaels is putting forth an all-pro effort with Garcon. He explained the mark below the C on Garcon’s nameplate. It’s called a sedilla (sp?) and causes […]
SNF – Cardinals/Colts Live Blog – 3rd Quarter
10:16: The Cardinals swiftly move the ball downfield culminating in an Anquan Boldin touchdown. He is a star crossed player. He’s as talented as Fitzgerald in my opinion but gets dinged up too often and doesn’t have Fitz’s pedigree and thus, not nearly as well received. Too bad. […]
SNF – Cardinals/Colts Live Blog – 2nd Quarter
9:12: Geez. Got to love Michaels. He asks Collinsworth if the Cards are a one-year wonder and references the franchise’s less than stellar history. Seemingly on cue, Tim Hightower fumbles inside of the Colts’ 10 yardline. Rough night for Timmy so far.

The Griddy Awards
This was a Dr. Z specialty on SI’s website, however, with the good doctor recovering from two strokes (by the way, get well soon Doc) we’ll settle for the Griddy Awards from the folks over at Pro Football Weekly.
Super Bowl XLIII Blog! – Pregame Edition
6:09PM – It’s Al, John and the rest of our somewhat subdued rowdy friends on NBC for Super Bowl XLIII live from Tampa. The AFC Champion Steelers enter to “Right Here, Right Now” by Fatboy Slim. If history says anything, it’s an ominous sign. The 2001 Sixers used […]
