NFL ’12: Cherry Picks WK-5
Posted on 7 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Now that the black hole that was ‘Replacement-Ref 2012’ has imploded and stopped devouring every sport-headline within its gravitational pull, we‘re back to the real business of the NFL: the hits, the blocks, the kicks, the passes and the runs. Oh yeah, some flags too. How ‘bout some cheese with that whine? The referee roundabout had little effect on the good folk up in beer-land, or as...

Special Teams Doom Lions As They Fall To 1-3
Posted on 3 Oct 2012 by Matt Austin.
Another week. Another collapse on special teams for the Detroit Lions, who fell 20-13 to the Minnesota Vikings to lose their third consecutive contest and fall to 1-3. Like the Tennessee Titans a week ago, the Vikings took advantage of poor cover kick coverage from the Lions, scoring on the opening kickoff and a punt to move to 3-1 in the competitive NFC North. Percy Harvin ran the first kickof...

Lions Look to Rebound Against Vikings
Posted on 30 Sep 2012 by Matt Austin.
After last week's stunning loss against the Tennessee Titans, the 1-2 Detroit Lions will look to get back into the winner's circle at the friendly confines of Ford Field in Detroit. In order to do that, they will have to defeat a 2-1 Minnesota Vikings squad fresh off an impressive 24-13 victory over a team that many think is the best in the entire NFL in the San Francisco 49ers. Sitting a 1-2 b...

NFL Barometer Wk-4
Posted on 28 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Not So Fast, football America. The regular referees are back in business but there are grades to be handed out in wake of ‘Replacement-Ref Whine-fest 2012.’ Roger & The Regulars: B Denying anyone who’s not employed in public safety the right to use all leverage in negotiating a contract (strike) would be un-American. Unfortunately, the regulars have now been vested with special status...

Posted on 23 Sep 2012 by Matt Austin.
After last week's 30-22 loss at San Francisco, the Detroit Lions (1-1) look to bounce back and earn their first win away from home in 2012. To do that, they will have to defeat a Tennessee Titans squad looking for the first win of the season. Coming off a sloppy 27-23 win over the St. Louis Rams in the opener and the loss against the 49ers, the Lions are looking for some stability as they trave...

Dallas’ home opener…
Posted on 20 Sep 2012 by Glenn Stants.
After a great opening game to an awful effort against the Seattle Seahawks, the Dallas Cowboys will look to rebound with their home opener against a now tough Tampa Bay team. Cowboys win: if they play like they did against the New York Giants, they have to play sound football, don't make mistakes, error free and as I always say hold onto time of possessions (TOP). QB Tony Romo cannot resort t...

Lions Fall Short to 49ers, Lose 27-19
Posted on 17 Sep 2012 by Matt Austin.
Showcased in the bright lights of Sunday Night Football, the Detroit Lions fell to the San Francisco 49ers a second consecutive year, 27-19, to fall to 1-1 to begin the 2012 season. The ridiculously stingy defense of the 49ers held the Lions under 300 total yards and kept star wide receiver Calvin Johnson out of the end zone, forcing the Lions to try and turn to the running game more so than ...

Dallas does not show up in Seattle…
Posted on 17 Sep 2012 by Glenn Stants.
What else can I say, the Dallas Cowboys went into Seattle and got taught a lesson. From the first kick off it was like the Cowboys were running uphill and that trend continued until the final buzzer with the Seahawks beating the Cowboys 27-7. All I kept saying to myself was ok Cowboys, time to start clicking, time to start driving downfield, lets play defense and it never happened. No one o...

Pick ya’ Poison: MLB vs NFL
Posted on 14 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Summer’s on the wane and there’s a nip in the nighttime air. That means three things: school is back in session, baseball is heating-up and the pigskins are flying. It’s a heady time for fans of America’s two favorite sports. Richard Kimble (The Fugitive) knew the score: “So, what are you, a football player, baseball player?,” asked the good doctor / janitor as he tweaked the orders...
