Harmon Reviews Jets-Bills Week 2 Opener
The Jets and Bills kicked off Week 2 of the 2016 NFL season with an unexpected high-scoring affair. Ryan Fitzpatrick carved up the Buffalo secondary, while Sammy Watkins’ foot injury limited his impact for Tyrod Taylor. The Bills’ lack of production – 98 total offensive plays in two games – also pushed offensive coordinator Greg […]
Jets Unveil Ridiculous Food Options
The NFL season is now off and pacing on the road to Santa Clara in Super Bowl 50. The Patriots and Steelers whet our proverbial appetite with the season opener last Thursday. Fans were treated to the opener of the Tom Brady “Revenge Tour” and frequent Rob Gronkowski sightings. Then, we all got up and […]
Favre MicroTouch Ad Raises Eyebrows
Everyone in the sporting world rushed to take their shot at former NFL MVP Brett Favre once the first of his MicroTouch ads hit the airwaves this week. I’ve called Favre the “Yoked-Up Santa Claus” on the radio for quite some time now, so I was sad to see the beard go. Some derisively mocked […]

Fallon Brings Back Tebowie: Keep The Sequels Coming
These might be my favorite bits from “Late Night” with Jimmy Fallon. Whenever he bridges the sarcasm and wit with music, good things happen. Just go find the Neil Young bits. Here’s the third iteration of “Tebowie,” where Fallon pays tribute to the quarterback while donning David Bowie-like garb from the 70s. We saw the […]
Tim Tebow Signs With New England: Just A Guy
“We’ve already talked about him enough.” That was Bill Belichick’s response to the inevitable crush of questions regarding the Patriots’ signing of Tim Tebow. I enjoy the fact that the patented Belichick dismissal of the question happened already. It’s the attempt to make Tebow “Just A Guy.” Naturally, the 24-hour news cycle that thirsts for […]
PTC: Harmon’s Blog 6.7 w/ MLB, NHL, Mom Fight, Puig & More
I’ve got a good hook for a new commercial. “I’m Yasiel Puig.” The Cuban sensation launched another home run deep into the Los Angeles night on Thursday, his third since being called up by the Dodgers to start the week. Dylan Hernandez write of the Puig phenomenon. Hernandez also reports that Carl Crawford’s hamstring strain […]
Harmon’s “Inside The Swollen Dome” Podcast Returns: 4.22
Monday was a beautiful day here “Inside The Swollen Dome.” The podcast returned after a hiatus – call it a renewal with Vol. 1, Episode 1. I recapped the weekend’s events, got a little bit into the NBA Playoffs, Derrick Rose, early baseball returns, news of the weird and a wee bit of NFL schedule […]
“The Ultimate Sin”: Tebow Cancels Appearance At Mega-Church
You could almost hear the record needle scratch. ‘ On Sunday morning’s edition of “The FOX Fantasy Freaks” radio show, I introduced the topic of Tim Tebow’s forthcoming appearance at the First Baptist Church of Dallas, a mega-church run by the controversial Dr. Robert Jeffress. At the time I raised the topic, I questioned the […]
FMC: John Elway of the Denver Broncos
He’s a two-time Super Bowl winner and Hall of Famer. He’s now charged with leading the Broncos back on the road to New Orleans and the Lombardi Trophy. In a week when Roger Goodell laid the proverbial smackdown to the Saints in the bounty scandal and left no question as to his authority, Elway did […]
Bears Fans Cheer Signing of Michael Bush: Forte Grumbles
It’s been an interesting two weeks across this sporting landscape. We celebrated that annual rite of spring, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. (You didn’t think I was going to say Major League Baseball spring training, did you?) The NFL calendar year started with a flurry of activity and big-dollar contracts. I’ll forgo the laundry list […]
The Time for Debate is Over: Manning Season Begins on Wednesday
It was a foregone conclusion. At least, we all assumed that the release of Peyton Manning by the Colts was inevitable. I suppose there was some sliver of hope among the most ardent Manning fans that he and the Colts would find some common ground in terms of a reduced salary for a year or […]
If the Ravens Lose, Does Flacco Enter Sanchez Territory?
“I think a couple times he needed to get rid of the ball. It just didn’t look like he had a hold on the offense.” To those who tuned out the media following the weekend’s Divisional Playoffs, you’d probably assume that this was more of the fallout from the Jets’ locker room. Instead, future Hall […]
Brandon Marshall Breaks Through in an Otherwise Boring News Day
Thursdays are normally reserved for updated injury reports and practice notes. Occasionally, a player or coach will take to the podium and offer a quote that sends the Twitter-verse ablaze. Brandon Marshall wasn’t short-changed in his comments to the media about his intentions and state of mind for Monday’s tilt against the Jets. Marshall predicted […]

Jerricho Cotchery Released: Is Derrick Mason Coming In?
The New York Jets released Jerricho Cochery, as expected, on Thursday afternoon. His absence, combined with the previous departure of receiver/returner Brad Smith, leaves a gap in the New York receiving corps. Dustin Keller is the rock-solid tight end in the offense, and the team did work quickly to sign both Santonio Holmes and Plaxico […]
