Let’s Wait Before We Name A Building after Brett Favre

Abby, Mar 15th

A short time ago Brett Favre retired from the game of football and left an impressive list of records for future stars to strive to attain. He has become the example for which NFL players should model themselves; a talented, fierce competitor whose durability lead him and the Green Bay Packers to the top of the game. Some of his records include: Most…

From Good to Great

Abby, Feb 20th

The word greatness is sometimes greatly exaggerated. But I think that within the coaches’ rank in the NFL, there are truly noble coaches that stand out shoulder and above the competition. I often ask myself what separates a great coach from an average coach. Within the NFL ranks every team has talent; every team has a great supporting cast made up of…

Roger Clemens: Four Things That Make You Say, “Hmmmm….”

Abby, Feb 16th

I didn’t need a congressional hearing to determine if Roger Clemens was blatantly lying about his usage Human Growth Hormone (HGH). I thought it was far fetched that Clemens had never heard of HGH; when baseball is knowingly and admittedly contaminated. I assume there are some die hard Clemens fans who refuse to believe the obvious and will defend him…

The NFL Best

Abby, Feb 12th

As I was listening to the radio about the breaking news of Bobby Knight retiring from coaching, I heard a Winston Churchill quote that he used to address the media.

The Ultimate Misnomer in Sports

Abby, Feb 2nd

It is known to bring fame, money and championships; talent is believed to overwhelm the best coaching, the most cohesive units and even the deepest traditions. We often hear coaches say “I am a better coach when I have talent.” That concept is a misnomer and leads many potentially…

The Greatest Show on Turf: The Sequel

Abby, Feb 1st

There are always pros and cons to sequels. Depending on the actors, it can have you walking up to the ticket counter asking for your money back when its all over or you could come away from the theater adamantly sure the sequel was way better then the first movie. So when I sit down this SuperBowl Sunday with a good supply of hot wings, my Smokin’ Bacon…

Mind Over Matter

Abby, Jan 30th

On “Conference Championship” weekend, we saw some unprecedented cold weather conditions. There were many people who sat in their comfy recliners and thought to themselves, “What kind of a nut could go out in sub-zero plus weather conditions to play a boy’s game?” The fact of the matter is all those players were focused one thing - a chance to play in…

The Kicker

Abby, Jan 22nd

The kicker has long been known as the forgotten man on most football rosters. They are usually small in stature, but pack a powerful punch. Normally on game day, they are usually in their own little world chewing gum or chompin’ on sunflower seeds and often playing golf, soccer, and cracking jokes during weekly practices. But these guys in my mind do…
