Today, his team from the Motor City ensured a place in the National Football League’s history books as the first team ever to lose 16 games in a season. Take heart, [...]

The National Football League’s Detroit Lions added yet another loss to their so-far-perfectly-awful season, losing a home game to the Indianapolis Colts, 31-21, Sunday. That loss — the team’s 14th of the year vs. zero wins — must have inspired my friend David Donar at Political Graffiiti to create the end zone art shown above. [...]

Vintage Brett Favre Evident as Jets Battle Dolphins
September 7th, 2008 · No Comments
Not normally a fan of the New York Jets, I opted to watch their game against the Miami Dolphins today only because former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre was now calling signals for the squad from the Big Apple.

Pundit Points Out Parallels b/w Teams, Candidates
February 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
As the sports world awaits the kickoff of Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., count me among the long list of political pundits unable to avoid drawing parallels between the 2008 presidential race and the biggest professional football game of the year.
