New NFL Overtime Rules Are Crazy

On March 24, 2010, in NFL, by Lee Hernly

The NFL yesterday voted to change the playoff overtime rules. Under the new system, the team that gets the ball first in overtime could win the game with a touchdown. If that team scores a field goal, the other club would have a chance to get a possession and tie the game with a field [...]

The Obama Curse Strikes Again – This Time In The Super Bowl

On February 8, 2010, in NFL, by Lee Hernly

During a Super Bowl pre-game interview, President Obama picked the Indianapolis Colts over the New Orleans Saints: Obama’s Super Bowl prediction was based on his opinion that the Colts have “perhaps the best quarterback in history.” “Peyton Manning is unbelievable,” the president told CBS’ Katie Couric during a live pregame interview.

London Fletcher Pro Bowl Bound – Finally!

On January 25, 2010, in NFL, Washington Redskins, by Lee Hernly

The Washington Post’s Jason Reid Reports that the Susan Lucci of the NFL, London Fletcher, is finally getting his due: The Saints’ victory over the Vikings in the NFC Championship game means there’s an opening at linebacker in the Pro Bowl, with Jonathan Vilma playing in the Super Bowl. And that means that London Fletcher, [...]

On January 9, 2010, in NFL, Washington Redskins, by Lee Hernly

Russ Grimm, one of the former Hogs during the Joe Gibbs I era as Washington Redskins coach, made the list of finalists this week for the Pro Football Hall of Fame (HOF). It is unconscionable that not one Hog has been elected to the HOF. This is one of the greatest injustices in the NFL. [...]

The Shana-Plan: Are You Ready?

On December 30, 2009, in NFL, redskins, washington, by Lee Hernly

The handwriting is almost certainly on the wall for head coach Jim Zorn of my beloved Washington Redskins. Jim Zorn says he wants to stay and finish the job but, does any SERIOUSLY think Jim Zorn will still be the coach as of say next Wednesday? I don’t. I am fairly certain that the one [...]

John Riggins: Saints v. Redskins Post Game (Video)

On December 9, 2009, in NFL, redskins, sports, by Lee Hernly

John Riggins continues his excellent commentary on the state of the Washington Redskins. He takes a look at this team after the New Orleans Saints game. I think Riggins is right about his statement on the players making these games close. He is also right on in stating that if these games are in fact [...]

Obama’s Thanksgiving PSA w/ NFL (Video)

On November 22, 2009, in NFL, tv, by Lee Hernly

If you’re like me, you’ll be watching a bit of football on Thanksgiving. If you do, you’ll probably see quite a bit of this PSA from the NFL and President Obama (nice throw Drew Brees!) on volunteerism and exercise. I wonder if SEIU’s Andy Stern gave his approval for using the kids in the video. [...]
