Jim Armstrong First off, congratulations to the San Francisco Giants, who just captured their 3rd world series in five seasons (for those living under a rock), beating the Kansas City Royals 3-2 in Game 7. I’ll readily admit that I am not the most ardent baseball fan, but any sports fan can appreciate the tense […]
The Most Important GIFs of Week 8
October 28, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Since the 49ers were on a bye this past week, I debated taking a one-week hiatus myself. Then I remembered that the 49ers basically played like they were on a bye in last week’s game against the Broncos, and since I still wrote a post after that debacle I suppose it’s only fair that I […]
Week 8 Picks – The League That We’ll Never Figure Out
October 22, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Rory Goulding You probably don’t know this, but Peyton Manning is a very good quarterback. I wasn’t sure of it either until he made my favorite team look like a bunch of 8th graders last Sunday night. STATS! Through his first 38 games in Denver, Manning’s thrown 111 touchdown passes. If that number doesn’t impress […]

Wow, seven weeks in! The season is flying by! It feels like just yesterday the NFL was pretending to care about domestic abuse and women’s safety. But hey, now that everyone’s wearing pink for breast cancer awareness we can put the real issues on the back burner while we watch grown men smash their skulls together. […]
Week 7 Thursday Night Picks & Story Lines From the First 6 Weeks
October 16, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Rory Goulding Let’s, briefly, talk about Tom Brady still being an elite quarterback. This has all been acknowledged; been said in countless articles and blogs and video hits, but it warrants mentioning again. In sports world where Skip Bayless can declare that Tom Brady is no longer a star-level quarterback by blindly looking at his […]

Quite an enjoyable Week 6 in the NFL, if you ask me. Not only did the Seahawks lose (and at home), but the Giants got blanked in Philadelphia and the 49ers held on to win a squeaker Monday Night. This was a good weekend. Cue Ice Cube. 10. The faces of Chip Kelly. When I was first […]

Jim Armstrong Remember a year and a half ago when the Texans were coming off a divisional loss to the New England Patriots and a dominating 12-win season? The Texans were bringing back their core guys and were poised to dominate the AFC and take the next step in their journey from expansion franchise in […]

I was forced decided to go wine tasting and pumpkin picking with my girlfriend and some friends this weekend, so I wasn’t able to catch all of the action Sunday. If I missed anything, please accept my sincerest apologies in the form of Ryan Fitzpatrick’s glorious beard: Alright, let’s get to the action. […]
Week 5 Picks & The Moribund Landscape of Minnesota Pro Sports
October 1, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Rory Goulding: Before we talk about tonight’s game, I just wanted to let you know that it took me until Week 2 to remember that the Minnesota Vikings weren’t playing in their home Metro Dome stadium anymore. For (at least) the next two seasons, the Vikings will call the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank […]
The 10 Most Important GIFs From Week 4

The 49ers save their season (for now), Steve Smith gets revenge and Teddy Bridgewater rises like a phoenix from Matt Cassel’s ashes. Oh yeah, and Antonio Brown? He’s kind of good, that guy. 10. Good Colin Kaepernick overshadows Bad Colin Kaepernick. (At least for this game.) Thanks to their defense, my favorite team survived the […]
