  • 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 …

     

  • Super Bowl XLII Predictions and Society

    February 1st, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | Add a comment
     
    It is not very often that we see a game with such magnitude have such a wide variance to the size of the predictions being made on it. At FanYard, we have people picking the Patriots to win from anywhere from a safety to over 30 points. On the New York side of the ball, no one is predicting a …

     

  • Super Bowl Ad: FOX Bans “Beaver”…and News

    January 30th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | Add a comment
     
    It seems that FOX, the network television channel that use to be known for its edginess, has turned the corner, so to speak, and become one of the dinosaurs it started out putting in their place when it first aired what seems like so, so long ago. Indeed, when FOX first went on the air, it was chalk full of …

     

  • Super Bowl Predictions and Other Such Nonsense

    After another long and arduous season of watching football and cheering and screaming and jumping, cursing, layghing, crying, hand-wringing and dancing, we fans should all be hoping for a safe and close, exciting Super Bowl. I know I am. However…and this is not NFL smack talk, just a feeling. It has become apparent to me that people are a …

     

  • If Hitler Was A Dallas Cowboys Fan

    January 25th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | 1 comment
     
    I just finished reading a great novel about the last half year or so of the Second World War and specifically about the downfall of that madman, Adolf Hitler and the fall of his Reich. The book was called BERLIN: The Downfall 1945 by Antony Beevor. Parts of the book reminded me of a movie I saw a few years …

     

  • Fair Weather Fans - What To Do?

    January 24th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | 2 comments
     
    If you are like me, you like to watch, and listen to, as many NFL games as possible over the course of the season. There are some games, of course, that you will mainly just watch, because you can’t stand listening to Bryant Gumbel anymore. Or Phil Simms’ southern drawl is starting to give you epilepsy. Sometimes, you mute the …

     

  • Super Bowl Predictions, Ads and Records

    Every Super Bowl, records are set and hearts are broken. Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona this February 3rd will be no different. Both teams, the New England Patriots and the New York Giants, have already set all time NFL winning records this season, breaking many hearts along the way, including every heart within a 96.7-mile radius of Lambeau Field, …

     

  • No San Diego Chargers Super Bowl, Ever?

    January 22nd, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | 2 comments
     
    This team can’t win even when it is winning. I think they may be doomed. It was obvious when Marty Schottenheimer was the head coach that they would never amount to anything but teases for their fans. But that tricky Norv Turner really had some people fooled for, um, about one or two weeks. Some of us actually thought that maybe, …

     

  • NFL Playoff Predictions - Chargers at Patriots

    January 18th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL | 1 comment
     
     In this Saturday’s AFC title game, the San Diego Chargers will be trying to make up for the mistake made by safety Marlon McCree that cost them their playoff game at home against the Patriots. Near the end of the fourth quarter of last year’s divisional playoff game, McCree intercepted Tom Brady. On a play that should have been something …
