For the most part I stayed away from Olympic coverage. Partly because I admittedly only watch about 1 hour of coverage a day and partly because there was just so much out there that you weren’t going to read much from The Musings that you wouldn’t have read elsewhere. The games had their share of [...]

The NFC East The Big Story Some guy in Washington is in the news. I think it’s John Kerry. No? It’s George W. Bush? No? It’s Bob Packwood trying to order lunch at Hooters? Nope, that’s just not it. Of course it’s Joe Gibbs. After a dozen years running his NASCAR business Gibbs decided to [...]

The AFC East The Big Story As former Musings contributor would say, “Smoke Ricky Smoke!” Blame it on the failed drug test. Blame it on dissatisfaction with the state of the team. Blame it on him just being SAD. It doesn’t matter how you slice it, the big story in the AFC East is the [...]

The NFC South The Big Story It’s Michael Vick. Of course it’s Michael Vick. What else could it be? The league’s most dynamic player missed most of the season last year after suffering from the Madden Jinx and a broken leg in August against the Ravens. This year he’s back and healthy. He’s got Peerless [...]

The AFC North The Big Story November 1st. That is the day that the Federal drug trial will start for last year’s 2000 yard rusher Jamaal Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens. The Feds have been looking at Lewis for a couple of years now but have only just decided to prosecute him and bring him [...]

The NFC West The Big Story The Pro-Bowl Exodus. Jeff Garcia, Terrell Owens and Kurt Warner are all gone from the West. Three years ago Warner was still putting up jaw dropping numbers in the games best aerial attack. Now he’s relegated to a backup and may never see a start in New York. Jeff [...]

Pre-season has started. Camp is transforming from two-a-days into execution of the playbook. Fantasy owners have begun to cringe as keepers suffer injury after retirement after drug suspension. Jim Mora Jr. has already made 3 terrible defensive calls that could have cost his team the season. This can all be leading to just one thing. [...]

If I had one question to ask, that is what I’d ask Nets GM Rod Thorn. There is a long standing tradition in sports. When things go badly you rebuild. There’s no shame in it. It’s not just common practice, it’s common sense. Teams that don’t get any better need to do something to improve. [...]
