Ode to Donovan McNabb!

I will look for any excuse to talk about football now that the season is over. And there is no better reason than this. Some guy put together a five minute “Ode to Donovan McNabb!” on YouTube.
It basically sums up all the points I’ve made to Wernick for the past ten years. The only [...]

The Official Super Bowl Preview

It’s been a while since I’ve posted my full weekly NFL preview column on here. But it’s the Super Bowl, so I figure I might as well go out of the football season with one last big push. I have some recap stuff to get to once the season is completely over, and I will [...]

Fantasizing: Week 11 – The ‘Haves’ and the ‘Have Nots’

Week 11 is done. We now have 4 or the 6 teams in the playoffs. The other two spots, both that will come from the ‘NFC West’ (or more appropriately, this week, the real ‘AFC North’ that got swept in all four gamesby a total of nine points), are yet to be determined. And it’s [...]

Sunday Soothsayer: Packers-49ers

Another week, another big game for the Green Bay Packers. The 49ers, coming off of long week of preparation (they played the Bears last Thursday night) come in as 6.5 points dogs. People quickly forget that San Francisco challenged Indy in Indy two weeks ago…and the Packers lost to the Buccaneers! This line is solely [...]

Knee-Jerk Analysis: Packers v. Vikings

In the never ending quest to throw more original content up on The Great Wahl, I’m going to offer my quick, unfiltered, unimpeded, unbiased reaction to the Packers-Vikings game tonight. I haven’t watched any post game show or read any recap online in an attempt to keep outside influences outside, and let my mind continue [...]

Exposed

[Editorial Note: Completely my own analysis. Didn't see an article about this. Just making up some ORIGINAL CONTENT. Woot.]
Yards Per Attempt (YPA): Total Passing Yards / # of Passing Attempts
YPA is often considered the most important stat for a quarterback. The higher your YPA, the more efficient a QB is at moving the offense up [...]

Dumping on the Vikings

I was upset with Kevin Seifert, the NFC North blogger for ESPN, for copying my ideas yesterday. But today, he makes up for it, kind of…but at a third grade level.
Apparently there isn’t enough real news going on in the NFC North, so he spent some time throwing together a quick paragraph about each of [...]

A Horrible Fantasy

I ended up losing my fantasy football match up this week. I scored the 3rd most points of the week, but I played the 2nd place team. I lost 110.82-110.72. With our scoring system, that works out to 1 yard. Had Vincent Jackson only gotten 54 yards and touchdown against the Raiders last night, I [...]

For The Ladies

I’ve been talking about football and fantasy football a lot lately, because, well, it’s football season.
I understand it might not be the most interesting topic for my female readers. But then I happen to come across a post by a female writer over at Mental Floss who came up with her own fantasy team and [...]

Pandering to My Base

I’ve decided to model my success after Sarah Palin’s success for today. She’s a crazy nutjob that panders to other crazy nutjobs.
So today, I’m going to be a loyal Midwesterner pandering to my Minneapolis/St. Paul readers (and probably make a post later being a good Baltimorean writing about the Mid-Atlantic region), ensuring that I continue [...]
