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 [...]

Spread ‘Em – Week 19: Antipick

So, last weekend didn’t go so well…
Outside of the Packers losing ‘the most entertaining game of any sport in recent memory’ in a heartbreaking manner because we couldn’t pressure Kurt Warner, I managed to go 0-4 in my ‘Spread ‘Em’ column for Wildcard Weekend.
I’m pretty sure I said “It’s never smart to want to [...]

Big Game Preview: Packers at Cardinals

The Packers have been rolling. The Cardinals have not. We play each other in less than hour.
I have yet to find an ‘expert’ that is picking Arizona to win. I’ll tell you the three keys to the game that will make them all right:
1. Pressure Kurt Warner — I don’t know how you want to [...]

Nevermore

Watching the Ravens-Patriots game. Or should I say the ‘Boston Massacre’?
The first quarter isn’t even over yet and it’s already 24-0. Tom Brady has two INTs and a fumble already. Quite amazing.
And Willis McGahee doesn’t even have a touchdown yet. I guess they actually can win without him.
Quoth the Ravens.

Spread ‘Em – Week 18: Wildcard Edition

I’ve been traveling the past few weeks, so I haven’t had the opportunity to put together my weekly NFL picks column. However, I can’t resist any longer now that the playoffs are upon us. Only 11 NFL games remain in the 2009 season. Let’s see if I can pull a winning record against the spread [...]

Until We Win It All (Or Lose)

You might have heard the Packers are in the playoffs. I’ll have more later this week on the Packer game, the other playoff games, and a wrap-up on the NFL regular season.
Until then, I leave you with a new logo — The Great Wahl (TGW) shield — in homage to the Packers run to the [...]

Playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6-10 last year. 10-6, at worst, this year. And playoff bound! Ballin’.

In the battle of teams that lost to Tampa Bay, we smoked Seattle. Aaron Rodgers sat out the entire 4th quarter.
Tampa just took down the Saints too. Apparently our loss to the Bucs looks good better. So does our loss last week to Pittsburgh, [...]

Knee-Jerk Analysis: Packers-Steelers

I never got around to writing a game preview for yesterday’s Packers-Steelers battle. It would’ve been a waste of time. Our game plan was terrible. And having to play our 7th and 8th CBs because of injury really killed us. Big Ben throws for 503 yards and has a Super Bowl-esque TD throw on the [...]

Knee-Jerk Analysis: Packers-Bears

As I mentioned last week, I was uninspired by this week’s game between the Packers and Bears. Which is weird, because I usually get up for Divisional games. I just didn’t think it would be much of a competition.
It wasn’t, through the first 20 minutes. The Packers were marching at will against their defense. And [...]

Fantasizing: Time to Get Real

Week 13 of the NFL Season has come and gone. That means that the fantasy football regular season is over and the playoffs are here. This is my recap special (you can see how it all started with my preseason rankings).
First, let’s start with the final standings:

This is where we’d like to thank Rubin, Schmitz, [...]
