To the entire Green Bay Packers players, coaches, organization, and the city of Green Bay, thank you from the bottom of my heart for a most excellent season, and the best Packers post-season that I have been witness to in my life. I am and will always and forever be one of your greatest fans. …

Just noticed today that Google Calendar now has built in sports schedules so that you can be sure you never miss out on a game. Pretty sweet feature for the sports fanatics out there.

When Plaxico Buress predicted a NY Giants 23-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, everyone scoffed; most notably Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady. “We’re only going to score 17?” was Brady’s question. Well tonight, in the 4th quarter, Buress gave Brady his answer, “No. We’re going to score 17, and you’re only …

First and foremost, I apologize for the harshness of the headline, but … 1 for 3 on field goals, and the Giants are going to the Super Bowl in Arizona. Bullshit. See you next fall.

At 10:04pm EST, the New York Giants called tails in the overtime coin flip. It was heads. The Green Bay Packers elected to return the ball. Hopefully the Packers will prevail. It is currently 4°F with a -23°F wind chill. I will update with a final score after overtime.

Apparently playing professional football in really gay attire makes you a better team. The Philadelphia Eagles started this season 0-2 and had only scored one touchdown. But in Week 3 they came out of the tunnel sporting this garb, and have already scored 4 touchdowns in less that 17 minutes of play. And to make …

While I sit here watching the Eagles battle the Panthers, I am reminded of how absolutely awful Tony Kornheiser is as a football announcer. I thought Theismann was bad, but christ, Kornhieiser makes Joe look like Dan Dierdorf. Mike Tirico is the only competent one in the booth, and I guess we’re all lucky that …
