Ding-da-ding my cell phone goes off at 9:52 Tuesday morning. A charming reminder from my boss, a Chargers fan, of the night before. "Old fashioned ass kicking! The death of a dynasty." What a wonderful way to start the day. Who saw that beatdown coming? Nobody, really. ThatÆs why they have all those ôany given Sunday,ö ôthatÆs why they play the games,ö ôevery team who plays the Saints this year gets trounced by Drew ...

Never have I seen a game with such little importance in the playoff picture be billed with such heavy hype. ItÆs been billed by some as a potential Super Bowl preview, while others see it as a game with the makings for an offensive shootout. Others still think the defensive minds of Bill Belichick and Gregg Williams will dictate the outcome of the game. Talk about a logjam of story lines, ...

My Daily WTF came to an abrupt but not so mourned end when I began to run out of things to scream at. Last Sunday, I screamed ôWTFö at my TV enough times to make up for more than a month without my daily series. I need a heavy dose of zithromax just to kill the infection in my ear from hearing the same rehashed conversations over whether BelichickÆs infamous decision to ...

The Miami Dolphins have been a thorn in Bill BelichickÆs side since he first arrived in New England. He is only 10-8 against the turquoise and orange Florida fish, and five of his 10 division losses since 2002 have come at the hands of Miami. MiamiÆs Wildcat offense, which was averaging a piddly 1.7 yards per play over the past three games, finally found stride against New England on several big ...

After a stretch in their first three games where they couldnÆt seem to pull away from their opponents, the New England Patriots have returned to their 2007 ways, putting up points in bunches on everyone in their path. The New England Patriots rocked the Tennessee Titans 59-0 in one of the biggest blowouts in NFL history, in the snowy mess of New EnglandÆs home Gillette Stadium. Then, New England proved they can ...

In one of the many blockbuster moves this offseason, and just days before the regular season opener against the Buffalo Bills, the New England Patriots traded their star defensive end Richard Seymour to the Oakland Raiders for a first-round selection in the 2011 NFL Draft. The move was highly criticized by fans on both ends of the deal. Fans in New England felt they were getting rid of an excellent player who ...

á Michael Crabtree was a diva before he ever set foot on an NFL playing field. The story begins on Apr. 21, 2009. The Oakland Raiders are selecting seventh overall in the first round. Desperately in need of a wide receiver, everyone and their brother who had a big board assumed that Crabtree was the consensus pick at that spot. Instead, Al Davis went with yet another 40-yard wonder by the name of ...

Braylon Edwards spent a lot of last season dropping passes. Looks like heÆs found something new to drop: people. Edwards was out late on Sunday night, after his team had just fallen to 0-4. Early Monday morning, he got into a skirmish with Edward Givens, a promoter in the Cleveland area. Givens is a good friend of LeBron James, and the King was quick to counter with a jab of his own. He ...

Shortly after the New England Patriots defeated the Baltimore Ravens 27-21 in Foxboro on Sunday, the game was already caked with controversy. John Harbaugh and some of the Ravens defensive players began taking shots at the referees for a couple of poor roughing the passer calls, which saved New England drives. The first call came when Haloti Ngata was right in the face of Tom Brady. He released the ball, and a ...
