Burress Looking Prescient   Comments

With 11 minutes to go in the Super Bowl, Plaxico Burress, who was laughed at early in the week for suggesting a low scoring affair, was downright psychic.

The score is currently 10-7 Giants…

Not Surprising, but Interesting   Comments

I’m not surprised…

A study has found that college students at the University of Texas drink more during football games involving their institution than they do during New Year’s Eve or the last day of classes.

But it does confirm that law enforcement, and the general public, need to be more vigilant on gamedays and especially on big gamedays.

Patriots = Cheaters   Comments

I don’t think any Colts fan is surprised that Bill Belichick is a cheater…

Allegedly they were stealing the Jets defensive signals on Sunday.

“It’s not their first time,” a member of the committee, who did not wish to be identified, said.

In fact, Green Bay Packers president Bob Harlan confirmed a similar incident that occurred when the Patriots played at Lambeau Field last Nov. 19. The same cameraman who was questioned by NFL security on Sunday was also the one whom the Packers removed from the sideline and escorted from the field during their 2006 game, according to Packers security official Doug Collins.

Purdue’s Outlook   Comments

I largely agree with Fox Sports take on Purdue’s upcoming football season. They didn’t take advantage of the last two year’s scheduling and now they face a tough road to double digit wins. A 4-0 start is a must, so the game at Minnesota on September 22 is crucial. After that they face Notre Dame, Ohio State, go to Michigan and home against Iowa and will be lucky to get out of that stretch with one win. This is likely to be a roller coaster season without a huge upset somewhere along the way.
