The Party’s Over: Heating Up Minnesota With Maxim For Super Bowl LII
The dust has finally settled on Super Bowl LII from Minneapolis. All of the confetti has been cleaned up and the analysis of each play has been filed to the hard drives. OK, the dust got kicked up a bit one week after the event when the Colts lured offensive coordinator Frank Reich away from […]
Rookie QBs The Headliners: Prescott Gets Top Billing
The first weekend of the NFL preseason was greeted with great passion, energy and trepidation. It didn’t matter that the top stars would play a series or two before stepping to the sidelines for the night. No, fans lined up in droves to cheer the return of football and to evaluate young talent. Rookie quarterbacks […]
ICYMI: Lil’ Eli Battles #BlackSunday
The Eagles and their fans, including a prominent actor, have been hyping Sunday night’s home game against the Giants better than any broadcast partner could possibly ever could. Bradley Cooper, star of “The Hangover” and “Silver Linings Playbook” (among others), started the smack-talk earlier in the week. Well, the Eagles themselves upped the ante through […]
Bears-Packers In The Spotlight in Week 17 Playoff Push
For most members of the Fantasy Football universe, the regular season came to an end in conjunction with the closing of Candlestick Park. The late interception return by NaVarro Bowman for a touchdown surely changed outcomes in a large number of leagues. The game-ending interception from Matt Ryan sent an unfortunate few to an untimely, […]
Participation Trophy Week 3: Dwayne Bowe, KC
The Chiefs took care of business in Week 3 as the defense tormented Michael Vick all night and limited DeSean Jackson’s ability to make plays downfield (three receptions for 62 yards). Still, I have to look at the other side of the game and circle a huge issue in the Kansas City offense. It’s possible […]
Harmon’s “ITSD” Podcast 5.2: Funeral, Sanchez, Money & Tattoos
Harmon returns to the microphone, free and clear to roam the worlds of sports, entertainment and pop culture. In this episode, Harmon slams the Knicks’ funeral plans and talks about the big topics affecting the NBA Playoffs. Mark Jackson, anyone? The Thunder employed the intentional foul strategy against the Rockets … and failed miserably. Harmon […]
ITSD: Harmon’s Podcast Takes On Day 1 Of The NFL Draft
Day one of the NFL Draft is in the books. A full 27 of the 32 players logged on my mock draft made the cut on Thursday night, with seven hitting spot on (six plus the Atlanta deal). I got back behind the microphone to recap the first round, the good, bad and ugly, Geno […]
The “D”-Word: Nick Saban and High Tide
Monday night’s BCS Championship Game was a veritable yuck-fest. Well, it was for virtually everyone except Notre Dame fans and their investors. I suspect the television ratings for the second half slid markedly, so perhaps some broadcast executives or those who booked ad space deep into the game weren’t particularly thrilled, either. At one point, […]
Steve Smith Mocks Me, Signs with Eagles
I spent the better part of the past 48 hours updating my blurbs on the top 90 fantasy options at wide receiver. Yes, I know that there are inevitable adjustments to be made as players are injured and depth charts are updated. I would have liked to have had the ink dry before starting to […]
No. 23: Philadelphia Selects Danny Watkins Out of Baylor
Roger Goodell returned to the stage with a host of military personnel as the strains of “God Bless the USA” filled Radio City Music Hall. The chants of “USA! USA!” united a crowd, if only for a minute. Danny Watkins out of Baylor then gets the call. He’s a 26-year old player out of British […]
Mike Vick Pro Bowl Poster
I saw this one come across from the Michael Vick (@MikeVick) Twitter account the other day. I just thought that I needed to pop this off. Whatever your feelings of Vick and his past or the Eagles, you’re going to crack a smile. You can buy your own here .
Just Go After The Guy On The Naughty List: Andre Johnson Fallout
On Monday, the NFL announced that neither Andre Johnson nor Cortland Finnegan would be suspended following Sunday’s brawl. It was featured on seemingly every website in the world, teased at the opener of every newscast and run in the sports gag reels that are commonplace following the news. Almost 48 hours, I’m still trying to […]
FMC: Week 10 Superhero Michael Vick
The Redskins’ pass defense was terrible coming into Monday’s matchup with the Michael Vick-led Eagles squad. They left embarrassed, defeated and injured (Laron Landry and Carlos Rogers may both miss Week 11 against Tennessee). I don’t need to belabor the point. You’ve heard the absurd statistics regarding Vick’s performance and its place in the pantheon […]
Michael Vick Says Thank You to Donovan McNabb with HUGE Day
I’ll ramble on this more in tomorrow’s edition of the “Fantasy 15” with John Halpin on BlogTalkRadio.com. But, for now, let me say that Michael Vick’s embrace of Donovan McNabb clearly included a giddy “thank you … thank you … thank you!” Before fans had even gotten back from the fridge or cracked open a […]
Say What You Will: There Is No More Entertaining Duo
Following a long, arduous and well-chronicled summer that included myriad television appearances, the beginning of Season 2 of a reality show & rumors about contracts, mercurial wide receiver Terrell Owens has a new home. Owens signed a one-year deal to join his reality television tag-team partner, Chad Ochocinco, in Cincinnati. The move gives Carson Palmer […]
The East Flips: McNabb Traded to Redskins?
The turnover continues in Philadelphia. It is truly a new Eagles team that you’ll be witnessing come 2010. Many of your veteran heroes are gone. This is a new-look squad for Andy Reid … and Kevin Kolb becomes “The Man.” … Or does he? Seriously, I re-typed that title like 15 times before it sank […]
