Rooney Rule: Helpful or Demeaning?
Posted on09. Jan, 2010 by Keith Becker.
In the Seattle Seahawks situation right now, where they fired Jim Mora Jr. with the sole intention of hiring Pete Carroll, do they really need to interview a black coach, or any coach for that matter?

And the Funniest Fake Athlete Twitter Account Goes To…
Posted on18. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Everyone knows Jay Cutler is a douche bag. Everyone knows that Mike Dunleavy is a terrible coach. Everyone knows Al Davis is off his rocker. And everyone knows that if JaMarcus Russell spent half as much time practicing football as he did eating, he might actually be a good quarterback.
We always joke about athletes and [...]

But not this time.

Week Nine NFL Power Rankings: Saints Brees Their Way to the Top
Posted on03. Nov, 2009 by Keith Becker.
So, basically, what I learned this weekend is that the NFL cannot compare to college football. Not a great hook to keep you NFL fans reading, right?
Well the two would be a lot closer if I didn’t wake up Sunday to the biggest horror story in the history of our planet Earth.
No, I didn’t have [...]

Week Eight NFL Power Rankings: The Saints Go Marching On
Posted on27. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Another week down and another crazy shake-up in the rankings. The Bears and 49ers faced reality checks, and I finally gave the Bengals the ounce of credibility they deserve. Due to midterms, I’m keeping the intro short and sweet this week.
On to the rankings.
32 (32) – Rams:
Poor, poor Steven Jackson. 143 rushing attempts on the [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week Seven: Vikings Ride Brett Favre Mojo
Posted on20. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
This was one of the worst sports weekends of my life. The Oregon Ducks had the week off, the 49ers were on a bye, the A’s are long gone, and it’s still preseason for the Warriors and the Sharks (wait, we’re two weeks into the NHL regular season already? I had no idea).
Without the privilege [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week 6: Vikes Holding Strong at the Top
Posted on13. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
It’s consuming my life. First went homework, then showering. My sense of smell and my taste buds quickly followed. Flowers don’t smell anymore, candy is no longer sweet. Is this a love poem? No. Wait, yes! Ahh maybe. It’s a love-hate relationship.
You see, NBA 2K10 is amazing. “My Player” mode especially. I spent practically the [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week 5: Brett Favre Edition
Posted on06. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
I wonder what’s sorer right now: Brett Favre’s almost 40-year-old right arm, from throwing all over the Packers defense, or his nuts, from getting sucked on by every commentator in the history of football, especially Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden, and Ron Jaworski last night. The love fest was sickening.
From how the Monday Night Football announcers [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week 4
Posted on29. Sep, 2009 by Keith Becker.
My lovely girlfriend drove up with me this weekend to see me off back to school in Oregon and how did I repay her? By watching football, more football, football video games and then even more football. I actually feel kind of bad, considering she is not a football fan. Let’s just say, when I [...]

Real NFL Power Rankings Week 3
Posted on25. Sep, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Huge changes in the rankings this week. Call me fickle, but I think it takes two weeks to see the real identity of several teams. To be sure, these rankings will most likely look absurd by week 8, but hey, you don’t read these for the accuracy. Wait…
Sorry for taking so long to get these [...]
