Giants Deserved Win Over Patriots
February 4th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | Add a commentYesterday, 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.

Indeed, when FOX first went on the air, it was chalk full of …

If Hitler Was A Dallas Cowboys Fan
January 25th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | 1 commentI 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.

Fair Weather Fans - What To Do?
January 24th, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | 2 commentsIf 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 …

No San Diego Chargers Super Bowl, Ever?
January 22nd, 2008 by FanYard Blake Posted in Football, NFL, Uncategorized | 2 commentsThis 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.
