Tony Dungy
One of the first questions put to Tony Dungy was something along the lines of "how does it feel to be the first black coach to win the Super Bowl?" A similar -and equally dumb - question was put to Doug Williams after he became the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Dungy's … Continue reading Tony Dungy
Final: Colts 29, Bears 17
I predicted a Colts victory, although I didn't expect the margin of victory to be so large. The Bears just couldn't get it going on offense and the Colts defense stiffened. Too much time on the field for the Bears defense. Congrats to the Colts! And I voted for Peyton Manning for MVP. (nfl.com had … Continue reading Final: Colts 29, Bears 17
SB Halftime: Colts 16, Bears 14
Wow, who would have thought 6 turnovers? Good game. I'm sticking with my earlier call - Colts by 1. And if you miss any of the ads, watch them here. Note to CBS: make your stuff work with Firefox, OK? A lot of us out here are not fans of IE.
Now you know why you’re not invited
Well, I have a 65" widescreen HDTV and I was going to invite all of you over for the game but I guess I can't do it now. Seems the NFL doesn't want folks having SuperBowl watch parties where the TV screens are larger than 55 inches, unless, of course, you happen to have a … Continue reading Now you know why you’re not invited
Super Bowl XLI: My pick
The Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts meet this coming Sunday in Super Bowl XLI. The Bears, sporting a 15-3 record, bring an awesome defense and a serviceable quarterback, while the Colts (15-4) bring arguably the best quarterback in the game today with a somewhat leaky defense. Check out the stats on these two teams. … Continue reading Super Bowl XLI: My pick
The Tuna retires
Have to say I didn't see this one coming. Bill Parcells, one of the NFL's most brilliant coaching minds, has decided to retire. "I am in good health and feel lucky to have been able to coach in the NFL for an extended period of time," Parcells said. "I leave the game and the NFL … Continue reading The Tuna retires
2-0
The Super Bowl is set between my picks for the conference champions, the AFC Indianapolis Colts and the NFC Chicago Bears. The Colts win was record-setting, with them having come back from an 18-point deficit. Peyton Manning and the team made the adjustments at half-time that I hoped they would. They ended up scoring 30+ … Continue reading 2-0
My picks: AFC & NFC champions
I was unavailable to participate in the last Bearing Drift podcast so I figured I'd better get my picks up before the games start. Remember, last weekend I went 3-1 😉 My picks this week: AFC - Both the Colts and the Patriots bring identical 14-4 records into this game, which is being played at … Continue reading My picks: AFC & NFC champions
Who knows football?
After our podcast last week, the participants (Jim Hoeft, Brian Kirwin, Shaun Kenney, Mike Baxter and I) made our picks for the games this week: Vivian picks New England, Indianapolis, Chicago and Philadelphia Brian takes New England, Baltimore, Chicago and HIS EAGLES! Mike does not watch football, but thinks that this might be the week … Continue reading Who knows football?
