Dodgy Rams Run Head First Into Pick Wall

Isn’t Jimmy Clausen just Sam Bradford without a Heisman Trophy or concurrently successful program behind him? Wouldn’t drafting Ndamukong Suh–the best defensive prospect in 15 years–be smart? The Rams could have their quarterback of the future and two strong defensive players all by the end of the second round if they take my advice.

Kickers Get NFL Teams Into Trouble: The Cardinals To Be Exact

Kickers always get NFL teams into trouble. They think they can find someone who can make that one extra field goal and then they get burned. Neil Rackers coming out for Jay Feely in Arizona is but one of many cautionary tales.

NFL Players Have Feelings Too

Finally, I’ve seen the face of reason.  Jake Delhomme has been cut by the Carolina Panthers to allow Matt Moore to become their new starter. I was beginning to think that Jake Delhomme was going haunt me well into my 40’s with his horrific play on a fat contract.  Alas, the Panthers finally got smart! [...]

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 [...]

Peyton Manning: The General Takes It All Back

I sat down to watch the Super Bowl last night in pieces.  We started at a restaurant for my birthday, and then again in the comfort of our home.  I didn’t make it to the final whistle because the game was over before then.  I didn’t care for the Saints and I don’t now, but [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Lane Kiffin and DeAngelo Hall: Separated at Birth

Lane Kiffin and DeAngelo Hall have two things in common.  They have a tendency to piss off the wrong people and they are highly adept at getting people to give them large sums of money for no reason. Now that Lane Kiffin has been named the Head Football Coach at USC I have to ask [...]

3 Reasons For Tim Tebow To Be Happy in 2010

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I can’t believe they actually fired him! (a.k.a. – what I learned this weekend)

Well, I run off to work today and in the quagmire that is my day job I didn’t hear about Charlie Weis getting fired immediately.  However, I did get in the car and hear about it within 5 seconds of having the radio on sports talk (I listen to 790 down here…mainly because they aren’t [...]

Rivalry Weekend is Here!

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 [...]
