NFL ’12 Cherry Picks Wk-17
Posted on 26 Dec 2012 by Steven Keys.
Teaching Collegians How It’s called ‘piling-on.’ Not that celebratory heap o’ fun in the end-zone that befalls the poor guy who’s just scored a TD. No, I’m talking about a coaching strategy where, when having your opponent beat late in the contest, rather than letting up on the gas, choosing instead to continue the onslaught because “winning isn’t everything, it’s (just one sm...

NFL ’12 Cherry Picks Wk-15
Posted on 13 Dec 2012 by Steven Keys.
All Process That is Due The longer Bountygate dragged-out the more likely Paul Tagliabue does exactly what he did in his ruling on Tuesday: found middle ground. At least that’s how NFLPA is selling it to members. In truth, DeMaurice Smith and other union sharks hope their clients don’t read too deeply and stick to the pro-player headlines, as Tags re-buffed the jocks in validating NFL’s f...

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...

Saints Joy Won’t Resonate
Posted on 9 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Congratulations go out to Saints’ linebacker Jonathan Vilma. Not for winning a vacation from his season-long Bountygate suspension he was handed by the NFL earlier this year, but rather, for his choice of celebratory shout-out. “Victory is mine!!!! -Stewie Griffin,” texted Mr. Vilma after he received the joyous news. Classy move, Jon. Had you quoted Bart Simpson instead I would’ve been ...

NFL Wish List 2012
Posted on 3 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Dear Santa Claus: I know it’s still summertime, the season when you and the Mrs. are just getting back from your annual Elf-Awareness Conference in Puerto Vallarta, but I have a big favor to ask. NFL 2012 is set to kick-off Wednesday night (Cowboys @ Giants) and I have a few early requests that I’m hoping you can accommodate. I haven’t exactly been good this year, but I haven’t been bad...

Why Roger Goodell Reigns
Posted on 26 Apr 2012 by Steven Keys.
It’s a job that should come with a warning: “Careful what you wish for, you just might get it.” The hours are long, there’s nearly no off-season, travel-time is taxing, fan-mail is sparse and the endless speeches, interviews & negotiations vacillate between dreary routine and stress-city. But there is an upside. The pay is sweet, prestige is high, there’s job security (if you keep...

Saints Caught a Break
Posted on 23 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
Feel bad for the boys in The Big Easy? Don’t. The New Orleans Saints brain-trust got off relatively easy with the fines & suspensions levied against them by the NFL on Wednesday. It coulda’ been worse. Sean Payton and staff can do the suspensions standing on their heads. They’re all rich. After Sean’s year long vacation (he’s gotta’ have a boat), he gets to come back to a $5 mil...

Apologists Aplenty for Harrison
Posted on 14 Dec 2011 by Steven Keys.
The way some sportswriters see it you’d think Colt McCoy should be apologizing to James Harrison for the high & mighty hit the Steelers’ linebacker laid on the Browns’ QB in last Thursday’s intra-division contest (Pitt 14-3): How Colt might sound on the phone with James: ‘Hey, I’m real sorry for putting you in that difficult spot, James. Tempting you to spear me with your helmet...

Selig Leaves Legacy in HGH Test
Posted on 29 Nov 2011 by Steven Keys.
Somewhere along the way Bud Selig lost the meaning. Sometime between his halcyon college days (UW ‘56) and tenure as MLB’s big kahuna he lost his love for baseball. It’s a surprising turnabout given how his early years read. Like so many others during America’s radio days the young Bud joined that burgeoning class of folk known as sporting fans, often attending minor league contests wit...

Vick Didn’t Want to Come to Philly
Posted on 18 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Michael Vick told GQ Magazine in a recent interview that coming to Philadelphia three years ago after being released from Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary was not his choice. This has been reported through several media sources and was clearly planned by Vick to become public knowledge. ”I think I can say this now, because it’s not going to hurt anybody’s feelings, and it’s the truth,...

NFL-CBA: Devil’s in the Details
Posted on 23 Jul 2011 by Steven Keys.
When it’s contract time, the devil is in the details. Maybe that expression is what was on James Harrison’s mind when he called Roger Goodell a “devil” in his interview that appeared in Men's Journal last week (Aug)? Okay, maybe not. But just by dumb luck James may’ve hit on something. The devil in NFL owners recent CBA proposal might be buried in the massive volume of detaile...

James Harrison Adds To Controversial Steelers Offseason
Posted on 13 Jul 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
What was once viewed as the high-class franchise of the NFL and having no nonsense owners in the Rooney’s, the Steelers have sure had their share of problems over the past couple seasons. We all know about Ben Roethlisberger’s situation in Milledgeville, Georgia and the trade of Santonio Holmes after his “wake and bake” and “kill yourself” tweets. After overcoming the odds last ...
