If you don't follow football, the Giants lost last weekend to the Philadelphia Eagles. Also, in case you are not from the NY/Philadelphia area, you may underestimate how serious these football fans can be. That "team spirit" also rings true when their respective team loses. In this case, the losing Giants fans were a little disgruntled (and drunk) after the game. Their target? A lonely, unsus
I went to gym this morning after an absence of 10 months. Nobody pointed a finger or jeered at me. No alarms and flashing lights were set off when I put my access card in the slot. They hadn’t moved the dressing rooms or changed the system. The Pilates instructor remembered my name and didn’t make [...]
One thing that you can say about the San Francisco Giants - they haven't been afraid to dip into the free agent market, evidenced by their acquisition of starting pitcher Randy Johnson recently. And apparently they're not finished yet as they have expressed an interest in Chicago White Sox third baseman Joe Crede, according to SI.com.Lately, Crede has been dogged by back problems, but the Giants h

The roller coaster ride continues, I can't remember a season like it, you simply cannot predict which Arsenal side will turn up, fortunately today the Arsenal eleven showed a lot of courage to come from a goal down to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the bridge, albeit with a little help from an excellent linesman (!).

As today's game between the Redskins and Giants begins, here are some keys to the game brought to you by Q, Big Money Tony, & The Sports Freak. • Win the line of scrimmage despite injuries along the front line....
This is probably the biggest advantadge that the Giants have in this upcoming game. We’ll all heard about the exploits of the Giants offensive line.

Ironically, Bush singled out Tynes at a presentation on the White House lawn saying, "Lawrence Tynes, who's wi
After a ho-hum set of matchups and results in Week 11, everything has been dialed up in Week 12. Of the full slate of 16 NFL games, 11 of them have teams favored by a touchdown or less.
The last time that the Giants played the Redskins, It was Week 1. Jim Zorn was a Head Coaching virgin who was installing a new system and looked lost. He took advice from his running back on play calls and had a purely horizontal offense that was easily shut down by a Giant defense that [...]

Ok so the Titans are undefeated with a 10-0 record, but, are they really the best team currently at the NFL? I don’t think so, in my humble opinion I think the Giants are a better team, and they proved that they can beat any team at the league after defeating the Ravens, [...]

Yikes! That was an ugly performance by the first team. Derek Anderson was awful. The offense looked out of whack. Even though Derek Anderson got concussed the biggest loss may be Josh Cribbs who went down with an ankle injury. Brady Quinn had another good performance to bring the Browns back then Ken Dorsey mopped up. We are not that far away from having a quarterback controversy with the Browns.
