OK, this dust-up — fueled by ESPN’s flogging and Rodney Harrison’s flaming — regarding the appropriateness of Rob Gronkowski partying like a fool after New England’s Super Bowl loss: enough already.

First, it’s awesome that cell-phone video footage is once again the surveillance tool of choice. Just awesome. [...]

History repeats itself. Last Sunday, in Indianapolis, the New York Giants captured their fourth Super Bowl championship by yet again knocking off the New England Patriots for the second time in four years. Eli Manning shined, as he earned his second Super Bowl MVP award.[...]

Ah, tomorrow… it’s all very so ironic, isn’t it? My last post was about the Tom Petty song “Runnin’ Down a Dream” and about how it reminds me of Super Bowl XLII. Here we are, about three months after that post was written, and the grand rematch of 2008 will be going down tomorrow evening.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick[...]

How in the hell did they get there?

At the beginning of the year, injuries consumed the St. Louis Cardinals. The media delivered an absolute shit storm of spew about Albert Pujols and where he’d be heading following this season. This Cardinals team is a lot like the NFL’s Green Bay Packers from their Super Bowl run last year.

They looked finished during the early goings of September [...]

In arguably the greatest (or most bizarre) World Series game of all time, David Freese (0-3 at the time), with one strike away from walking back to the dugout while the opposing team (the Texas Rangers) celebrates their first World Series title, hit a deep shot that knocked in Albert Pujols and Lance Berkman. In extra innings, he hit a solo jack that gave the Cardinals the win and forced a game 7.

That’s game, that’s game, that’s game. [...]

How did we get here?”, the St. Louis Cardinals ask.

It’s absolutely amazing that the Cardinals are actually in the World Series, let alone going into the top of the ninth inning of game two up 1-0 against the Texas Rangers in the game while also being up 1-0 in the series.

Jason Motte.

Jason Motte… [...]

Was Jim Harbaugh in the wrong yesterday, when he overzealously shook Lions coach Jim Schwartz’s hand and then aggressively shoved him in the back?

I don’t think so.

First and foremost, I’m a St. Louis Rams fan (as made obvious by the sports banner of four years above) and I despise [...]

I love the St. Louis Rams. I really do. But the porous effort being delivered when playing a game of football has to stop somewhere. Last year, I thought the improvement would carry over, but just as I thought in 2006-2007, I was wrong.

Now, they are 0-4, and they play in the NFC West, so all is not lost considering [...]

Through the good and the bad, Marc Bulger valiantly wore the number 10 blue and gold St. Louis jersey on Sundays for over seven years.

From being touted as one of the best quarterbacks in the league after his solid 2006 season to being dubbed one of the absolute worst at starting that position, Bulger played football. He retired a couple of days ago after a season of carrying around a clipboard…

With all of these BS Miami Heat/Philadelphia Eagles comparisons, I feel that it’s worth mentioning the 2004 Philadelphia Eagles, the forgotten team that won the NFC and lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 39 by three points.

Nobody remembers that team now. I blame the generation of NFL fans that were born in ’96-’98… but I digress…
