NFL: Only One Of These Teams Is Smart
Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, C.J. Spiller–only one was a smart move and only one of these teams is smart. Between the Rams, the Browns, and the Bills, which one made the best play?
NFL Rumor Mill: How Messed Up Is Vince Young?
Vince Young is not right. We know he’s messed up in the head, but is he totally crazy? I’m no doctor, but I have a diagnosis that you might not expect.
NBA: Who Let The Softies Out?
Who let the softies out? Woof, woof, woof, woof. I can assure you it isn’t a dog, but the way our culprit has been acting he might end up in the doghouse sooner rather than later. Let’s play the “blame game” with Dirk, Rick, and Mark. Johnny, please introduce our contestants.
“Pointless Offseason Moves” Versus “Doing Your Best”
We’ve got teams scrambling left and right to make moves in this offseason that will benefit them. Are they really doing the “right thing” –as Spike Lee would say? My take on all of this can be summed up in a sentence: Don’t rock the boat unless you have to. Teams always tell the media [...]
Do Any NBA Teams Have The Luxury Of A Break?
So, the Lakers and the Heat were tangling the other day and the Lakers were down pretty much most of the game. The game went into overtime and Twitter exploded with tweets of every kind talking about the game. Some guys were going nuts that the Lakers might lose. Others were going crazy because the [...]
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 [...]
The Saints Are Not “Worst To First”–The Super Bowl Part 1
Yes, I said it, the Saints are NOT “Worst to First”. The Saints were a good team before this season and will be after this season. We need to stop fawning over the Saints like they just rebuilt New Orleans all by themselves. The New Orleans Saints have been playing good football for a couple [...]
Nothing But Ten In The NBA: January 27th, 2010
The Cavs swept their season series with the Lakers, but LeBron says it doesn’t mean anything. Is he being coy or does he actually get it this time? There hasn’t been much of a change in the Top 10—for me—since we last talked about this, but there are some interesting subplots brewing in the NBA. [...]
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 [...]
NBA Nothing But Ten
The General’s NBA Nothing But Ten is a place where I will rank the Top 10 teams in the NBA in my not so humble opinion. No I don’t use a formula, I just call it like I see it. If you like formulas you can explain to me how one pundit’s formula has the [...]
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 [...]
The General’s NBA Shakedown…December 23, 2009
I want to break the NBA into a few categories that I think best describes where all the teams are. This is the best way to get similar teams into similar groups even if they don’t have similar records. For example, just because the Celtics are 21-5 doesn’t mean they belong in the same group [...]
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 [...]
The General’s Smorgasbord Part 1
Reflecting on the weekend that was in sports I’d have to say that I learned a few lessons about sports and I’m going to share them with you today…not because I think you don’t know them, but just in case you don’t know them (or at the very least so you can laugh at me [...]
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 [...]
