From Cowboys To Eagles It’s Okay To Change Football Teams. Other Teams Are Up To You. Off-season training works for players and fans. As a fourteen year old I met a few Dallas Cowboys with my brothers, my Dad, and my Granddad. We’ve all been Cowboy fans ever since, from the late Sixties until now. […]
REMEMBER TO STRETCH BEFORE FOOTBALL SEASON
August 11, 2014 by
Are You Ready For The Pain? Across every sports spectrum, except soccer, you hear the same thing in August. “Are you ready for some football?” The fans are ready to go rabid, the ex-players, the has-beens, and the never was-ers.

PRESS ROW AT THE PORTLAND THUNDER TABLE
July 29, 2014 by
From The 300 Level To Talking Heads. Arena Football? Have you seen a game on television? Been to one in person? Saturday night I did both. It started weeks earlier with an announcement.

Punish one of them, both of them, or neither of them. Was the one who said ‘he started it’ reacting, or were they the instigator? […]
NEW YEARS EVE vs SUPER BOWL
February 3, 2014 by
Every new year we’re losing weight and eating right? Wrong. With the Super Bowl hovering in the near future, every New Year’s resolution goes in the bucket. “I will give myself more will power in the new year.” Not on Super Bowl Sunday. And neither is anyone else. Will power isn’t what you pick up […]

January 29, 2014 by
Chasing The Ring. A few things to notice on Super Sunday: All the talk about a New York Super Bowl won’t change the location. New Jersey is still the site for this year.
How To Be A Media Star In Seattle
January 22, 2014 by
Richard Sherman Takes A Bow. For all the sweet talk between opponents, no one except the Seahawks and their fans embrace the Seattle cornerback. He plays an isolation position and seems to live the same way. Don’t mistake this man for Pacman Jones and the ‘scrip club’ rain. Don’t put him with Hollywood Henderson, the […]
