Ode to Donovan McNabb!

pic22355

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 Official Super Bowl Preview

wahl_peyton

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 [...]

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

ff_standings_week11

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 [...]

Sunday Soothsayer: Packers-49ers

Alex Smith, (Who?), Aaron Rodgers, Braylon Edwards, Ronnie Brown, (Who?)

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 [...]

Knee-Jerk Analysis: Packers v. Vikings

4wtf

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 [...]

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 [...]

Dumping on the Vikings

metrodome

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 [...]

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, [...]

For The Ladies

brady

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 [...]

Pandering to My Base

minnesota_nice_tshirt-p235853528067916314y3c7_400

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 [...]
