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 plain [...]
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 [...]
Alabama and Texas go head-to-head for the BCS National Championship on Thursday in a game that gained credibility with Boise State’s win over TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. Though this is not a reason that Bama will beat Texas it is a reason for us to take greater notice of this game. Boise State was [...]
The Allstate Sugar Bowl transpired on New Year’s Day without anything surprising happening, but I think in the blowout of Cincinnati the Gators hid a little treasure for all of us to enjoy and speculate on for months to come (until April to be precise.) Urban Meyer was coaching his last game before a leave [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 all [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Ahhhh, it’s Rivalry Weekend and we can finally get to spoiling and making seasons with games that we all want to call before they’ve begun and yet they never turn out the way we thought. They just never do. I suppose you could say that Rivalry Weekend is a form
of a playoff because many of [...]
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 [...]
The Chiefs beating the Steelers after I said “the Chiefs are worthless”. Nothing is more irritating than a pathetic and worthless team beating a perfectly legitimate team for absolutely no reason. If Matt Cassel is going to be a failure he needs to stay that way so I can keep my bearings in 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. [...]
Before you avoid this column entirely because you think I’m only going to talk about the Falcons hold up just one second. I’m sitting in front of the TV in my living room, laptop in hand, the family is napping, and the 2nd half of this week’s Falcons/Panthers game (in which I picked the Falcons [...]
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 [...]
Allen Iverson spent a year at Georgetown in the 90’s where he was running up and down the floor, lighting up teams with his speed and grit, and showing us that Georgetown might come back to prominence, but from the 1 and not the 5. It was an intriguing thought to imagine Georgetown as [...]
Sometimes I wish someone would just draw me a picture. I mean, we’ve got Hockey, College and Pro Football, College and Pro Basketball, the Olympics around the corner, we’re giving out postseason awards in Baseball, the BCS is about to be screwed, Allen Iverson just decided he doesn’t feel like being a reserve, Syracuse [...]
