Monday Morning Hangover

After the awful sports month of February, and the largely boring month of March (save for 10 days of college basketball), April has finally arrived, and with it comes nicer weather (in theory, at least) and better sports.  And also, for the 17th time, the return of ERP with a declaration by yours truly that I’ll be a more active [...]

Let’s See How Wrong We Were

Prior to the season, MIB and myself did an epic-yet-little-read nine-part NFL preview, where we each predicted the records for all 32 NFL teams, as well as the playoffs. Now that the season is over, and we’ve thoroughly embarrassed ourselves, let’s see how wrong we were.

Week 15 Power Rankings

Well, it took 14 weeks, but MIB and myself are finally beginning to get on the same page. Of the 32 NFL teams, the two of us had 29 of them within two spots on our rankings this week. In addition, we had 19 teams within one place of each other. 10 of the 32 teams we each had in [...]

Week 14 Power Rankings

The Power Rankings are back, just in time for the not-nearly-as-exciting-as-a-month-ago Thursday Night Football game between the 6-6 colts and the 5-7 Titans! Doozer is out for at least this week, but ManInBlack and myself are diving back in. Here’s the NFL according to the two of us.

Week Seven Power Rankings

The ERP Power rankings are back! Sorry about not posting them last week.  I know its a cliche excuse for wanna-be bloggers/writers, but work has destroyed me lately.  I barely got to these this week, but I couldn’t go two weeks in a row without posting this, not with how interesting and crazy this NFL season has been. Doozer and [...]

Monday Morning Hangover

Normally I start with football, because really this time of year, that’s all that matters.  But as a depressed Phillies fan, I want to put the final nail in their coffin ASAP, so that I can stop talking about them until my angry mid-winter rant about how they gave Howard too much money, which forced them to let Werth walk, [...]

The Defense of James Harrison

James Harrison, outspoken linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has made waves recently stemming from a few  vicious hits he put on Browns wide receivers Joshua Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi during last Sunday’s game.  Both Cribbs and Massaquoi left the game with concussions and did not return; their status for next week is also in doubt.  Asked about the possibility of [...]

Monday Morning Hangover

Rough weekend for yours truly as far as sportswatching goes. I had to work 8-8 Saturday and Sunday, and the only two games I got to see were the Phillies-Giants games one and two. I still have a lot of opinions on the weekend, but most of those opinions were formed thanks to reading ESPN.com or watching Sportscenter this morning. [...]

Week Five Power Rankings

All three of us are back in the fold this week for the ERP Power Rankings, and as always, all of us have very different opinions on the NFL one-third of the way through the season.  Put our very different rankings together, though, and you get a fairly accurate view of the NFL five weeks in. For the second week [...]

Monday Morning Hangover

Another action filled weekend in the world of sports, and another miserable Monday morning. It’s a holiday Monday where we honor the guy who discovered The Bahamas, and if you’re like me, that means absolutely nothing to my company, and I have to work. That matters not, though. What matters is the crazy world of sports that I’m going to [...]
