LeBron’s “Pros and Cons” In Going To Miami
LeBron James just ripped the hearts out of everyone in the city of Cleveland. What next in Miami? What are the Pros and Cons of playing in Miami? Have a look!
General Swami’s “NFL Mind Reading”
General Swami puts on his “mind-reading cap” to interpret the “coach speak” and “GM speak” in the NFL. Why is Brady Quinn in Denver? Why is Marshawn Lynch still in Buffalo? Why is John Harbaugh denying the slow death of the Baltimore defense?
If you want to know what’s really going on in the minds of today’s NFL coaches and executives then this is the place to be. Remember, they tell you one thing, but mean something completely different. I know what that something is!
The General Presents: Jocks and Paparazzi
In today’s episode we find many NFL teams on the prowl for new talent. Some players are hitting the street-corners looking for new homes, and the General is asking all the right questions… Remember that show on USA—“Silk Stalkings”—I loved that show. It was cool, and there WAS a lot of stalking in it, and [...]
NFL: The Big 3-Pacman, Turrull, and OT
Don’t you just hate it when the NFL announces it’s going to start tinkering with playoff overtime rules and they call it “OT”? Then you’re trying to figure you out what rules there are for offensive tackles? They’re big dudes who take up space: What possible trouble could they get into, right? Anyways, we’ve got [...]
The General’s Top 5 Mock Draft
The NFL Draft is a couple months away, but after the Super Bowl everyone gets into “Draft Mode”. This “Draft Mode” leads teams to cut players, open up cap space, and start making their “needs” known. I could sit here and do a complete “Mock Draft”, but some teams require little discussion, and others “just [...]
AFC/NFC Title Games: The General Makes Tough Choices
The AFC and NFC championship games have become nearly as big as the Super Bowl. I’ll bet that’s why I am SO torn over who to pick in these games. My boss told me to “Go with the stronger team”, and threw a little emoticon on the end of that one because everyone knows this [...]
NFL Divisional Playoffs: The General Picks Them All
8 teams are playing for 4 spots in the AFC and NFC Championship Games on January 24th. Don’t you want to know who’s going to win? I promise to tell if you can stick with me through my unorthodox reasoning! My colleague Tony also has his picks coming for this weekend and in briefly discussing [...]
How Does Garrett Gilbert Effect The NFL Playoffs?
Well, well, I had a wonderful time live-blogging the BCS National Championship Game on Twitter (yes, I have a Twitter account : genxxlgeneral) and I just had some major revelations during the game that not only have implications in college football but I think these revelations have MAJOR implications for the NFL Wildcard round this [...]
What Do Players Mean When They Say They Need To “Play Within Themselves”? (Plus, the final week of regular seaosn picks)
In throwing this idea out to one of my superiors here at genxxl.com I said “And I’ve got this great idea for a column on players playing within themselves” and his response was simply “LMAO”. Honestly, I didn’t really that sounded as bad as it did when it wasn’t being said by a professional athlete [...]
Let’s Review the Week That Was in the NFL
Because I don’t normally go this route I think it good to make a slight change and review the NFL weekend because we had tons of things happen this weekend that simply did not meet with my expectations (not because I expect everything to go MY way, but I honestly think it I’m right most [...]
What Was Up With The NFL Last Weekend?
Well, the NFL flew in and out like a lark and we’re left with a ton of clinched playoff spots, some confusion, and this weird feeling about the 14-0 Colts. Let’s start with the obvious… The Colts are now 14-0 after outlasting the Jags on Thursday night. Unfortunately, most of the country didn’t see this [...]
The Home-Stretch is Here!
Alright, we’re in the homestretch…3 weeks to go and TONS of teams need miracles, solid wins, losses from other teams, miracles, (to keep losing), to rest players, an easier schedule, to not be pushed so hard, to find their offense, to find their defense, to find both, to stop vicious cycles, to show us what [...]
Hot Stove, Hot Stove, Hot Stove, Hot Stove, Hot Stove, Hot Stove
The Hot Stove FINALLY got hot today with all the movement in Baseball that actually involved many of the game’s best players. We’ve got American League teams trying to reload and a certain National League getting better than 2 straight World Series appearances. Now that’s pretty good! The Phillies made a pretty shrewd deal in [...]
The General’s Smorgasbord Part 2
With the College Football season on “Pause” until January what are we going to do? I mean, there’s plenty of stuff to talk about in College Football and now they’re going to make us wait until January to get another fix? What’s up with that?! Well, I’m going to talk about it anyways…so HA! We’re [...]
Who Would Win In A Fight Between…?
Who WOULD win in a fight between the Saints and Colts? I don’t mean to discount other teams that are playing very well (namely the Bengals and the Vikings) but all indications would point to a New Orleans/Indy Super Bowl that will be played outside in sunny South Florida (on my birthday no less.) Just [...]
The Good, Bad and Pathetic
EliticismAs the NFL continues its search for qualified NFL Hall of Fame Semi-Finalists….there are quite a few NFL head coaches who are on the final stretch in their NFL coaching positions. Eric Mangini of the Cleveland Browns, Raheem Morris of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Wade Phillips of the Dallas Cowboys are all in severe [...]
Someone made a savvy decision (and ALL the picks…)
Today, Georgia fired it’s Defensive Coordinator (Willie Martinez) and 2 other defensive assistants and I have to say I’m surprised. I just went off on Monday about how UGA wasn’t going to win anything coming out of their defeat of Georgia Tech because they would bide their time with the Assistants they had instead of [...]
Football is Making Me Pick Early!
If you follow me on Twitter (genxxlgeneral) then thank you! You also read one of my tweets yesterday that came right after I read the following headline on the ESPNews ticker “Bills contact Bill Cowher and he declines.” The Tweet said something like “The Bills are so far beneath Bill Cowher that the 9th level [...]
Fat Bastard’s Got a Buyout and James Bond Takes Over The NFL
As I closed my college picks last week I said “Notre Dame still sucks!” and with that proclamation I had no idea that ND would actually get worse, but they did. Now the Golden Domers, appalled over another bad loss, are considering getting rid of Weis (a.k.a. Fat Bastard) and paying him that ridiculous buyout. [...]
Am I Loving This Game Yet?
Take a look at how the league is structured now and you’d think you were in “The Twilight Zone”. I know we’re only 8 or so games into the season but there are some troubling trends that need to be discussed because if they continue we’re all going to be wallowing in our tears as [...]
