It took the Redskins, one of the most storied franchises in the NFL, over a month to find coach.  Several guys backed out after interviews, the Skins burned a bridge with one candidate, and they finally had to settle on Jim Zorn. 
I remember Zorn as a career backup in Seattle, and then he dropped off […]

One of the first posts I wrote for this website was how Art Monk was the most snubbed player in the history of the NFL as far as getting into the HOF.  In fact, it was my opinion that he was the most snubbed player in the history of any sport.    http://football.fanboom.com/nfl/art-monk-for-hall-of-fame.html 
Now Art Monk has been voted […]

It looks as if all the coaching vacancies could be filled by the time the Super Bowl rolls around.  The NFL is not as bad as the NBA and the MLB in simply regurgitating coaches, but they are pretty close.  This year though, we have some new names, even some names that not many people have really […]

Now that there are only 4 teams left playing football, the coaching frenzy can begin in earnest.  Not unlike most years, then end of the season brings about the coaching carousel.  This year seems to be a little more interesting because to of the jobs that are available.  Some of the most high-profile jobs are up […]

For those of you that are not Cowboy fans, yesterday probably was enough to make you talk to the porcelain gods. The biggest show-boater in football broke down in a post game press conference. Just two weeks ago T.O was blaming Jessica Simpson for the Cowboys loss to the Redskins week 17. Yesterday Owens became choked […]

It was the most fun type of game to watch.  It was the playoffs, it was snowing, it was Brett Favre in Green Bay, and it was against Mike Holmgren.  The game started out looking good for the Seahawks, but then the snow gods were called upon.  Whether they were summoned by Vince Lombardi, Reggie […]

The Dolphins who finished 1-15 under Cam Cameron, will have the number one pick in the upcoming draft. Sparano graduated from the University of New […]

Sat Jan 5th 4:30 est
(9-7) Washington at (10-6) Seattle -3½
Seattle is 7-1 at home/ Washington 4-4 on the road
Even though Washington has been one of the hottest teams in the league heading into the playoffs, I believe there run will come to an end. The inspiration of Sean Taylor wont be enough this week alone […]

Great time of year.  All of the fantasy nerds get shoved aside for some real hardnosed meaningful football (actually I did see a commercial for playoff fantasy football, but I’m not ready for that quite yet - if ever). 
Wild Card Weekend is always a treat — and especially this year because 3 out of the 4 match-ups […]

I bounced back last week correctly picking 2 of 3, the losing pick resulting from underestimating the surging Minnesota Vikings.  Winning by 20 while Adrian Peterson had 3 yards rushing is impressive and Chester Taylor provides a great 1-2 punch in the backfield.
 So, I’m 2-4 after just a few weeks of picks — let’s see if I […]
