• For this initial installment of Fanspeak’s Top 10 Thursdays, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the NFL’s top 10 players who wore the uniform Number 10. Before starting my research, I figured that […]

    Clearly, Andrus must have some compromising photos of the GM!! What were they thinking?

    The bigger question is – when he gets the new deal, will he still feel compelled to continue with the State Farm “discount double-check” commercials? I for one was hoping to see a sequel where he brings in B.J […]

  • Re-signing Grossman was a good idea. He was very professional in how he handled his inactive status for most of the season and how he apparently mentored the two rookies.

    The signing of White is interesting. […]

    Ok – so my favorite coach gets bounced out by Marquette, my villain coach pulls off the upset of Indiana. So now I’m going with the big underdogs – Wichita State and FCGU (and not because of the coach’s wife!). Unfortunately, I think we are going to end up with some old familiar faces in the Final Four.

  • At some point, you’d think that the Redskins would run out of feet to shoot!

    In reply to: Megan Shoup posted an update Well…my bracket is busted thanks to Pitt! Why does Pitt always ”poop the bed” in the tournament as Matzie would say?! I don’t even want to watch anymore! :( View

    Goes to show why you should never pick with your heart!

  • So, the arrogance of the NFL is once again on display!  This time, it’s being prompted by the conflict that exists over the scheduling of their season opening game. For the past 10 years now, the NFL has had the […]

  • Definitely, the tuck rule needs to go. And I’m OK with some of the player safety rules – protecting the long snapper, eliminating the low blocks when peeling back, and making thigh/knee pads mandatory (how can […]

    I think Miami got hosed. They should have been a #1 seed. Let’s say Duke would have won the ACC regular season and tournament Championships. Raise your hand if you think they would NOT have been given a #1 […]

    In reply to: Megan Shoup posted an update @robyunich – did you watch pitt syracuse game today? Bummed Pitt lost…wonder what seed they’ll get now! I miss the good ole days when Pitt was always playing Saturday night for Big […] View

    Syracuse has done this sort of thing in the past. They will come in to the tournament flying somewhat under the radar and then get a few guys who seem like they can’t miss a three-pointer if they tried. And then they stay hot right into the NCAA Tournament. When I saw what they did yesterday, I figured it could be a long day for Pitt. At this…[Read more]

  • Yeah, I don’t see how he can be criticized for this. There is probably nobody who roots against Brady more than me. But i have to give him credit for doing this. And what’s even more impressive is that I […]

    I’ve been ready from the moment RGIII crumpled on the turf at FedEx. Read in SI that Harper has a goal of 105 wins. I don’t think that is unrealistic.

    Interesting. I think that the Falcons, Texans and Redskins may be a bit to high:
    FALCONS – While they continue to be an extremely talented team, you have to wonder how many times they can have amazing regular […]

  • If you asked the average fan what is the biggest pre-draft event for teams to evaluate players, most would say that it is the Combine. That’s because it gets hyped the most and two of the Combine activities […]

    Jim Boeheim seems to be getting a lot of well-deserved heat for his classless treatment of ESPN’s Andy Katz the other night when he called Katz an idiot at the post-game press conference. Saw Katz on Mike & Mike this morning and he appears to be willing to just brush it off. I haven’t seen whether Boeheim has been man enough to offer an apology.

  • If the Nats get nervous enough about the possibility of Gio getting suspended for 50 games, I think he could end up in Washington.

    In reply to: Rob Yunich posted an update Ho hum, another 20 win season for Jim Boeheim, his 35th (of 37 years coaching)…. and another win at home…. big game Wednesday at U-Conn. Go Orange! View

    Being a Pitt fan, obviously it is ingrained in me to root against Syracuse. However, given my intense dislike of U-Conn, it will be very easy for me to be pulling for the Orangemen on Wednesday. FYI – that same mindset will be there in the future whenever they play Duke!!
