  Junior Seau is dead, almost assuredly in part because of injuries he sustained while playing football. We don't have to wait for the coroner's report to come back though, because the best evidence that his death was football related is the fact that he shot himself in the chest to preserve his brain for study. Just think about that for a moment. See more...See more...

  Well ladies and gents, although we’ve come to the end of the road, still I can’t let go. It’s the last time we’ll see a football being thrown in a meaningful game for around 7 months, so enjoy it. Also, don’t give me the “Oh, I don’t like the Pats or the Giants,” well neither do I but that doesn’t mean we can’t hope for a good game right? See more...See more...

  Lesson Learned: Andy Reid Looks Hilarious When Punched in the Stomach (Video)

  God invented YouTube so I could do things like spend a solid 15 minutes watching LeSean McCoy punch Andy Reid in the stomach in celebration after a game-sealing first down. It's hard to figure out what my favorite part is. The look on Reid's face as he takes one to the gut (he acts like he just got shot by a sniper) or the shocked look on number 22's face in the background. See more...See more...

  I don’t think it’s acceptable to see a man cry (Unless they bash your quarterback.) However, given that we all suffered a scare of no football this season, I’ll allow Rick Ross “Tears Of Joy” as we hear Hank Williams Jr’s majestic “ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!” See more...See more...

• Who Dat! From Manning to Kim Kardashian, Wrapping Up Super Bowl XLIV

  Last night, as I predicted, a city visited by tragedy was given reason to flood the streets in celebration when their beloved New Orleans Saints took out the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17, one of those scored that doesn't give an accurate reflection of how close the game was. While Super Bowl XLIV fell just shy of going down as one of the all-time great games (it was a Manning interception away from the first Super Bowl overtime win), it did feature more twists and turns than Kanye's career. Here's a final look back at the night that was...See more...

  Forget the 4th of July, American Idol or Costco, nothing unites America like a Super Bowl. This Sunday an estimated 93 million people will watch the big game, but very few of them will have any real knowledge of what's unfolding before them. So before you spend Sunday stuffing yourself full of pigskin and pork rinds, I thought I'd take a moment to review two crucial questions: Who should you root for, and who's going to win?
