Alright boys, week 1 came and went. We saw a pretty strange week: some odd officiating, fluke performances, a few fluke flops, crazy injuries, and some unknown heroes. I went 3 for 6 on my bets, not my best week. But like I said, it was a strange opening week and its kinda got me [...] 2009 drew quite a buzz for Monarchs football. Its September, its time to get gassed up about Monarch Football again. ODU has a young team coming back. Not graduating any players, this year there will bring plenty of familiar faces. But there will be a few newcomers who will be expected to make an immediate impact. [...] Welcome back. Thanks for coming back and reading after our brief hiatus. I’ve been gassed up on football since the Lingerie Bowl was over and today Vegas posted the NFL’s total wins lines, so I’ve got the itch and I’m feeling inspired to write about it. A few of these lines just jump off the [...] The National Football League has unveiled its 2000-2009 All Decade Team. At first glance Jason and I had a few gripes, but after a little research and numbers crunching I think the Hall of Fame Voters Committee hit the nail on the head. Quarterbacks: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Get out of here if you’ve [...] So after last weeks horrible display of football, aside from the Cards/Packers game, I am definitely looking forward to this weeks line up. Vegas has put 3 of the 4 games at at least a 7 point spread, yet each game could very easily go either way. Arizona at New Orleans (-7) 57.5 points 57.5 points!? [...] Every season around weeks 15-17 there are teams who choose to rest their starters for the playoff run. Why shouldn’t they? Their spots in the post season are secured. Why would they risk the chance of injury or waste their time game planning on an irrelevant opponent? It’s the intelligent thing to do. After all, [...] With the regular season winding down, and me clinching a first round bye in my family fantasy football league playoffs (we don’t have to discuss the other 3 leagues I am in), this week I will just be sitting back and enjoying football the old fashioned way: gambling on the games. And since the holidays [...] Since 1957, there have only been three times the award has not been handed out to either a quarterback or a running back(1972 Alan Page Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle, 1982 Mark Moseley Washington Redskins placekicker, 1986 Lawrence Taylor NY Giants linebacker). So it is no surprise that the leaders in the race for MVP, in [...] Last week I, along with thousands of Monarch faithful, watched Old Dominion University Football wrap up their inaugural season in Lexington, Virginia when they visited the VMI Keydets. The 12th Monarch was alive and well, with an estimated 4,000 ODU fans running wild in the VMI stands. This was BY FAR the most intense, high [...] NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell, fined Bengal’s Wide Receiver Chad Ochocinco $20,000 today for attempting to “bribe” a referee in last week’s Ravens/Bengals game. I have supported Goodell since his first day on the job. His first act as Commissioner was shortening the time teams have to decide on draft day. We all know how unbearable [...] | |||||
