There are so many candidates currently vying for the presidency, that it’s gotten to look like the NFL playoff grid. Here are some sporty thumbnail sizeups about each, offered roughly the way the polls (which I don’t trust, by the way) have been generally lining them up. We’ll divide the candidates just like NFL teams, into the Democrat Conference and the Republican Conference. The top four

The Tuesday Morning Quarterback: NFL Week #15 Winners and Losers... with Media Notes
Posted on 9:58 PM by ergeg
There are five NFC teams still alive for a wild-card berth. The AFC is all but sewn up, though the Tennessee Titans still have an outside chance should Cleveland or Pittsburgh falter. So keep your eyes on the wannabes, and glance occasionally over the Patriots' way, to see if they can nail down that perfect record. After they beat the Dolphins this coming weekend, they'll be 15-0. Their last

The Tuesday Morning Quarterback: NFL Week #14 Winners and Losers... w/ Media Notes
Posted on 1:54 AM by ergeg
Truth is, this is maybe the best time of the pro football season. There are a lot of teams still vying for wild-card berths, even teams that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of going anywhere in the postseason even if they do secure a playoff slot. But especially in a year where the Patriots look to be a lock to win it all, it's fun to watch teams like Arizona and Cleveland and Minnesota

Titans Blow a Big One: Inept Young a Big Reason for Collapse
Posted on 12:52 PM by ergeg
The Tennessee Titans blew a big ball game yesterday. Their record fell to 7-6, and their playoff hopes as an AFC wild-card team grew dimmer with the continued success of the Cleveland Browns (8-5) and Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4). The Titans probably need to win their three remaining games, and even then they may need some help to get into the postseason. It was bad enough that they lost at home

Old News: Money Rules College Football and the Big-Time Universities Are Hypocrites
Posted on 2:02 PM by ergeg
There are two recent developments that telegraph a big loud message: Big-time college football is a joke, as are the universities affiliated with it. First let’s examine the recent firing of Karl Dorrell as head coach at UCLA. Interesting facts: Dorrell had a 35-27 record in five years, including a 10-2 record in 2005, a huge (and unlikely) upset of rival USC in 2006, and a 24-18 overall

The Tuesday Morning Quarterback: NFL Week #13 Winners and Losers... w/ Media Notes

Before anything, we’d like to congratulate the Miami-Dade police department and its director Robert Parker for their swift work in apprehending the apparent killers of Sean Taylor. We were snidely critical of their theorizing earlier last week, and we were premature in our judgment and just flat-out wrong in leveling any criticism. The entire Taylor story is a sad one from its beginning, and

It’s a Wonderful Life: The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Watch Baseball...and Oprah
Posted on 12:23 PM by ergeg
I suppose it was inevitable. I’m now officially a socialist.As we descend into heavy-duty holiday mania and parse our way through Charlie Brown’s depressing Christmas commercialism, I’m feeling the residual effects of being too sensitive, and knowing too much about too many things. For example, sports media’s (and especially ESPN’s) obsession with Alex Rodriguez’ new $275 million contract made
