Your Non-Professional Guide to the NFL Playoffs, Super Bowl XLVII
Posted on 3 Feb 2013 by Corey Rioux.
The early days of February are here, and another Super Bowl is on our hands. As much as we all love the most glorified weekend in sports, this will be the last football game of another prestigious season. Whether your team is in New Orleans or not, one more franchise in history will go down as champions. Let's get to your non-professional guide… Conference Championship Sunday lived up to ...

Your Non-Professional Guide to the NFL Playoffs, Conference Championship Sunday
Posted on 20 Jan 2013 by Corey Rioux.
Can you believe it? There are only three games left in the 2012-13 NFL season. Let me say that again: There are only three games left in the 2012-13 NFL season. As much as I so candidly love the playoffs, when this time of year rolls around, the tissues are out and the mood is somber; football is coming to an end. Wasn't it not too long ago when Dallas squared off against New York on “Wed...

Your Non-Professional Guide to the NFL Playoffs, Divisional Round
Posted on 12 Jan 2013 by Corey Rioux.
Welcome back to the one-and-only non-professional guide to the NFL postseason. I hope you enjoyed last week as much as I did, well, actually, Wild Card Weekend didn't go as planned. After making my predictions for all 11 games over the next month (later in column), hoping that the coveted 11-0 mark would hold true…it didn't. However, 3-1 isn't all that disgraceful, and blemishes is what m...

Your Non-Professional Guide to the NFL Playoffs, Wild Card Weekend
Posted on 5 Jan 2013 by Corey Rioux.
Well, I'm back. After an almost third of the year hiatus, writing and I have come back together. You may ask why I haven't written in such a prolonged period of time, but I have my reasons. And because I have nothing better to do than tell you those reasons, here they are: (1) I never thought schoolwork would be so overwhelming to the point where I have negative free time (yes, negative free t...

Cleveland on Primetime: Mixed Feelings
Posted on 28 Sep 2012 by Corey Rioux.
Wasn't it not too long ago I wrote a column criticizing the NFL and Roger Goodell on the decisions of “Bountygate?“ Well, Roger, you've done it again. And, so I might add, in a more “Everyone thinks you're King George III” kind of way. Although this may not be as prominent as the Stamp Act, it may be just as popular. However, popular for all the wrong reasons. At what p...

Just Another Season
Posted on 9 Sep 2012 by Corey Rioux.
Considering I wrote “more next week” in my last column, I figured it's time to finally write. Obviously, I didn't follow up with what I said, but I do have my reasons. Such as being a full-time student, having a job that isn't anywhere near as fun as this one, but pays me, and trying to get some actual sleep. Regardless, I'm here to break-down another rough patch in Cleveland Browns...

A Complicated Turn of Events
Posted on 12 Aug 2012 by Corey Rioux.
About a month ago or so I put together my first annual column of, “The ESPY's: Running Diary Edition.” This was partly because I thoroughly enjoy ESPN's award show every July, but this was also because I wanted to stay away from being another one of the million columnists who attempt to talk football in the summer months. I know I'm better than that. Period. (Except for my predictio...

Welcome Back to Football: Running Game Diary, HOF Game
Posted on 5 Aug 2012 by Corey Rioux.
Tonight, we walk into a familiar place, a place where football dominates the storylines, and where everyone knows your name (no this isn't Cheers, nice try). Maybe some of us aren't as excited as others, but then again, how can you not be excited? This is the NFL. The 2012 season is officially underway, and what better way than a running game diary, but first we have some notable facts to p...

The ESPY’s: Running Diary Edition
Posted on 12 Jul 2012 by Corey Rioux.
Welcome to the 20th ESPY's. As well as my first annual running diary of the “Award Show for Sports.” This year's host is Rob Riggle, he's no Seth Meyers, and you probably don't recognize the name, but he's one of those “Oh yeah, I know who that is” guys. But because I'm running late, let's get to it: (All times Eastern Standard time.) 9:00- This opening monologue of th...

New Season? I’m Not Ready
Posted on 22 Jun 2012 by Corey Rioux.
Seriously, I'm not ready. Partly because I have no freakin' idea what to write about these days, because those guys who actually get paid are kicking in my ass in their continuous coverage of EVERY SINGLE OFFSEASON EVENT. I don't have time for that. But I do have time to reflect and analyze (if you want to call it that) the important and interesting topics people enjoy reading about. As well as...

Seven (Way Too Early) Predictions
Posted on 18 May 2012 by Corey Rioux.
Just as you thought the offseason story lines were trimming down, the predictions are here (even if I'm the only one). I agree, they're way too early, but maybe if you read the title this wouldn't be so awkward. Moving on, in no way do I encourage you to gamble casually bet on anything I say. (However, if you do win, I'll collect ten percent. Thank you.) Amidst the “Manning Sweepstakes&...

Solidity At Its Finest
Posted on 27 Apr 2012 by Corey Rioux.
This year's 1st round among all franchises came with trades, surprises, suspense, and one of the best NFL draft classes of recent years. This is just going to be a quick overview of Cleveland's 1st-3rd round selections and I will break down into further detail in many more columns to come throughout the offseason, among general NFL news. Thursday night began with something out of the ordinary f...
