Hey punkasses! So, uh, I guess I really like football, because I’ve made yet another show about it. Draftguys TV profiles over 40 players who’ll be selected by the NFL in April, giving football fans access to exclusive interviews, practice footage, expert opinions from Russ Lande of the Sporting News, and more. […]

Several weeks ago, Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy had an epic YouTube Hall of Fame meltdown at a press conference. Despite having just pulled out a tough win, he was upset over an article written about the benching of his QB. Here’s the rant:

Oh, and did I mention that the article […]

Now when I rip the bejeepers out of the mainstream media, I’ll be flogging myself, because I’ve just received my second-ever official media credential. This time, I’m heading to the NFL Draft, which is not an easy credential to acquire:

[My After Effects skills are improving, though I still make things a little “busy,” huh?]


#1 pick Mario Williams (90) demonstrates his worth against #3 pick Vince Young (10).

More often than not, the right choice is a bold choice. Problem is, only one bold choice is usually the right choice, and while it’s easy to see which choices are bold, it can be pretty hard to figure out which one of those is right. Thus, most people opt for a safe […]

Ali and rap

Sports fans have probably already seen the article on ESPN, but music fans take note: Chuck Klosterman has some fascinating commentary on hip hop, the media, and Muhammed Ali.
I love it when a piece that, by all accounts, should be nothing more than synergistic network propaganda (ESPN is airing a doc called “Ali […]

Sound familiar, Longhorns?
Fans hugged and cheered, throwing popcorn into the air and their arms around one another. On the field and in the locker room there were similar scenes of celebration.
After pulling off perhaps one of the most improbable victories in NFL history, the Titans and their fans had the feeling that maybe they’ve finally […]

Oh, to be 3-0. Undefeated teams like the Saints and Colts receive beaming rays of sunshine from sports pages and talk radio all around the country. Their players start talking momentum, their fans start talking Super Bowl.
For formerly unbeaten teams that had their bubble burst, though, week 3 can be a […]

Week 2 is always one of my favorite weeks of the NFL season. It reshapes the way we view some of the so-called surprises and confirms some of the raised suspicions from week 1. This season, it seems we received an even stronger dose of clarification/confirmation than usual. The ACL Festival took up […]

Opening Sunday of the NFL season brings the joy of gorging myself on game after game via my friend Johnny Jet’s NFL Sunday Ticket and the pain of gorging myself on too much junkfood. As usual, the day brought its share of surprises and confirmations, but with one notable exception, the storylines of today’s […]

4 Observations:
1) Tony Kornheiser — and it pains me to say it — is kicking ass in the booth. Theismann can’t talk very clearly with Brett Favre’s balls in his mouth, but Korny’s keeping Joe’s hyperbole in check while actually offering enjoyable commentary in engaging fashion. I really, really like him as a […]

I love football. I’m a diehard Texas Longhorns fan, and I spend huge chunks of time attempting to divine things like which 4th string NFL wideout has the best chance of having a breakout year. I even cover NFL draft prospect workouts for the internets.
This doesn’t mean I don’t acknowledge the sport’s shortcomings. […]
