Grid Iron Audible—And The Winner Is?
Posted on 31 Dec 2012 by Steve Massey.
Grid Iron Audible—And The Winner Is? 2012 Season Awards After a brief mourning period for my hapless San Diego Chargers (approximately my fortieth such episode), I am finally able to look back and say: “what a season.” We’ve seen records broken, nearly broken, epic collapses, stunning turnarounds and the best crop of rookies that I can recall ever seeing come into the league (that’s ...

Grid Iron Audible—Playoff Push
Posted on 12 Dec 2012 by Steve Massey.
It’s the time of year when the weather begins to turn cold, Christmas shoppers flock to malls, and NFL fans get a sort of psychological Lasik surgery, clearing their vision for better or for worse. They will soon begin to get a clearer picture of their respective teams; are they contenders or pretenders, champs or chumps, winners or wieners? It is either euphoric or hectic, depending on the i...

Grid Iron Audible–Home Stretch Awards
Posted on 4 Dec 2012 by Steve Massey.
Grid Iron Audible—Home Stretch Awards After thirteen weeks of football, there are few surprises left; the average NFL fan can look at the sports page and know what he’s seeing. He can tell the difference between a contender and a pretender and pick the games with the analysts. He knows which coaches are destined to be removed, which G.M.’s should be shown the door, and who he thinks will ...

I’ll list the divisions according to my rankings, beginning with the worst, and progressing to the best. 8.

Grid Iron Audible—Mid-Season Awards
Posted on 31 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
Week eight has come and gone, and whether you’re a glass half empty (“oh man, the season’s half over”), or a glass half full type (“right on, I still have nine weeks of football left”), it is time for the Mid-Season Awards. I’m still feeling good about my San Fran/New England Super Bowl prediction, but several of my mini awards have changed hands in the last four weeks. If you’r...

Grid Iron Audible–They Got Skills
Posted on 26 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
The 2012 Rookie Class is loaded with talented skill position players. When we talk about the greatest rookie classes for skill positions, 1983 is a year we frequently hear mentioned as one of the best. Why not? Elway, Blackledge, Kelly, Eason, O’Brien and Marino were perhaps the best rookie class at the quarterback position ever. QB's weren’t the only skill players entering the league in ...

Grid Iron Audible—Ray Lewis, Godfather of the NFL
Posted on 19 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
There have been some famous Godfathers in this country we live in. John Gotti was a real life Mafioso, Vito Corleone was the undisputed Godfather in American Cinema, and James Brown (knock me out) will always be remembered as the Godfather of Soul. Among National Football League players that role has been filled by one Ray Anthony Lewis. That wasn’t always the case; when drafted with the 26th...

Grid Iron Audible—Parity, Ranking the 3-3 Teams
Posted on 18 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
We live in an age of equality. The days of dynasties and consistent dominance on the grid iron are fading, and the axiom “wait until next year” is quickly being replaced by “wait until next week”. Sure, every year seems to produce a team or two that plays better than the others in the league, but rarely do those teams go on to win it all; see the Packers from last season, the Colts of ...

Grid Iron Audible—Defense in an Offensive Age
Posted on 10 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
For all the talk of the league belonging to the quarterback, for the notion that offense produces success, for the modern perception that three yards and a cloud of dust is an archaic adage, let’s look at the tale of the tape, and add up the numbers. That passing yardage has risen exponentially in the last few years is evident; to find evidence of this, one has to look no further than the 201...

Grid Iron Audible—Cam versus RG3, And the Winner Is…Debatable
Posted on 5 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
In the spirit of Wednesday's presidential debate, let’s take a look at a couple of young quarterbacks with promising futures. On one hand we have the incumbent, second year starter, Cam Newton, of the Carolina Panthers. On the other side of the argument is rookie sensation, Robert Griffin III, of the Washington Redskins. Both are young African-American players that were highly touted and pub...

Grid Iron Audible–1/4 Season Awards
Posted on 3 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
Four weeks have come and gone in the 2012 NFL season, and a lot has happened over the first quarter of the season. We’ve seen a few surprises (Saints 0-4, Cardinals 4-0 and Vikings 3-1), and we’ve seen some expectations delivered (Falcons 4-0, Texans 4-0 and Ravens 3-1). We’ve seen hail-Mary’s (some successful and some ruled successful), a plethora of promising rookies (too numerous to ...

Grid Iron Audible–Raising Lombardi
Posted on 2 Oct 2012 by Steve Massey.
This article originally was published a few days before the season opened, and to my knowledge, hasn't been read. Since all five of the players in the piece still have fair odds of playing in the Super Bowl this season, I'll run it again. Raising Lombardi “You play to win the game.” Every football fan knows that Herm Edwards repeatedly said these words in a now famous post-game press co...
