  • Colt Brennan Impressive, Zorn Too

    I love this kid. I wish he played for the Niners, but whaddya do? Colt Brennan, the reason I ended up watching most of the Hall of Fame game on Sunday, did not disappoint. The kid who brought Hawaii college football from the fringe to the bigger stage had a great first outing - even if it was against …

This year’s Hall of Fame Game pits the injury-riddled Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins, in Canton, Ohio. …

    Colts at Redskins (in Canton, Ohio), Sunday, August 3, 2008 While one would normally be hard-pressed to pick the Washington Redskins to beat the Indianapolis Colts in a football game in this day and age, in the preseason it is probably in your best interest to do so. Historically, coach Tony Dungy does not put much ephasis on …

    First things first, I should let you all know just how awesome you are! Last season you collectively predicted the winners of more NFL games than all but one of the experts at the major sports sites (ESPN, Yahoo!, and CBSSports). Only Mark Schlereth at ESPN, who picked 171 winning teams, did better than the 169 picked by you! Congratulations! We’ll have the complete …

  • Sympathy For The Rookie

    June 28th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | 1 comment
     
    Finally! Someone besides the better than average football fan with a brain in their heads decided to make the point that NFL rookies get paid WAAAYYYY tooo many $$$$ before even taking a snap in the real league of football! Commissioner Goodell, the next time your league has the Rolling Stones play at the Super Bowl, have …

    What a way to start this blog up again in anticipation of the 2008 NFL regular season kickoff! As always, I checked in at our friends over at Football Jabber. This time, they have on their home page a video of the final minute or less of January’s Super Bowl upset, when Eli Manning and his New …

     

  • Giants Deserved Win Over Patriots

    February 4th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | Add a comment
     
    Yesterday, the New York Giants played one of the most inspired games I have seen since 2002, when the new England Patriots came to the Super Bowl as huge underdogs and ended up beating the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, 20-17. Interestingly, there is a good chance the score in this Super Bowl would have ended up being …
