South Africa, here we come!

utemia — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:08:14 PM -0400

Today the groups for the FIFA Worldcup 2010 were drawn in South Africa. It is a big big thing because now we know who will play whom in the group games - and it allows for plotting and strategizing (and some friendly betting among friends) about the outcome. I can't wait for the worldcup, it is the biggest sporting event in the world. For those of you who are ignorant of football or the world cup, the US are together with England, Slovenia and Algeria. Kinda funny to have the inventor of footbal...

Best way to buy football tickets on line

footballtickets — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:51:06 AM -0400

Football Tickets ‘The crowd are on the pitch, they think its all over, it is now.’ There is nothing that quite football matches the atmosphere of a live football match, the smells, the sounds and the colours are all contributory factors that make this above all others a truly English event. Such is the popularity of these occasions that many people find it hard to get Premiership football tickets, at least at an affordable price. Here at Mayfair Global Events we specialise in se...

GO PACKERS!

KFC Kickin For Christ — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 4:50:56 PM -0500

I figured the Super Bowl isn't really a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots out of it so not worth paying attention to. That is, until I read this email today. Now instead of saying "GO PATS!" I'll have to say "GO PACKERS!" I'm sure this is written by a true blue Packers fan! Have to give him credit for ingenuity in gathering more supporters for his home team. GO PACKERS !!! The Green Bay Packers a...

Thinking of what might have been....

terpfan1980 — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 8:40:07 AM -0400

As the Washington Redskins game comes down to the end and Hail Mary attempt (for Philly) that failed, the Redskins will be leaving Philly with a 2-2 record and I think a little on what might have been. Not that I saw the games, as I had been busy with concerts over the last few weeks, but I've been following the Redskins and watching the scoreboards to see how they've done. Had it not been for failures by the defense in the game against Houston, they might be looking at a 3-1 record ...

Let the season begin

terpfan1980 — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 3:27:53 PM -0400

Ah, fall! The time of year when the MEN OF FALL (some people may note a warping of a song reference there, if you don't see it, check out Kenny Chesney's latest single, the video for it is great and the song is a definite winner) take to the field and attempt to battle over small patches of (primarily) green real estate. I'm actually somewhat interested this season, as compared to the last few seasons where I knew that my favored professional organization was being run by a group that I...

Sorry to see English Out

mrboo — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 8:45:01 AM -0400

Its was great performance from Portugese goal keeper & pathetic performance by english penalty scorers. One thing for sure England can play penalty shoot outs. How many games English lost due to penalty shoot outs. Even if Becham & Rooney could have made no impact. English team is too horrible in penalty shoot outs, but they had no other option when Rooney was red carded. Rooney deserved Red carded, but Ronaldo doesnt have any sportive spirit clearly letting his friend down, the way he...

A gift-wrapped win for Seahawks

rvrfhsiahskfhghia — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 1:58:38 PM -0500

My column from Sunday’s game. It’ll go into Monday afternoon’s paper, but I wanted to get it out here a little earlier… SEATTLE — The spirit of giving was in full display on Sunday. Seattle allowed its visitors the entire first quarter to take over the game, but San Francisco returned the favor with timely turnovers and misplays to give the game and the victory back to the hosts. The last gift by the 49ers gave the Seahawks the ball late, when Olindo Mare&...

Hudson County QB Maurice Dunn

tomtalleyhs — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 1:03:31 PM -0400

Quarterback Maurice Dunn is a returning starter for the Royal Knights of Marist. He stands in at 5'11 and a good 165 pounds with very quick feet and long arms. Mr. Dunn has been playing Varisty for Marist for 4 years so I'm picking him to be my under the radar player in hudson county this year. He has a good target wideout in Otis Best who lacks speed but boy o boy can this kid catch. Dunn also has a very good o-line and two good running backs should prove to be better than last year. I pi...

MY New York Football Giants

Moderateman — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 1:48:41 PM -0500

One month ago it looked like the Giants were unstoppable, their record was twelve wins and one loss. Then Plaxico Burris their best receiver had a meltdown, besides not being able to play, he went and shot himself in the leg, in a city {New York} where simple possession of a handgun breaks the very old Sullivan law and carries a seven year sentence. The Giants looked unstoppable, then BOOM! the last four games of the season they lost three out of four, while the Carolina Panther game was...

Bolts over Colts...How About That!

Big Fat Daddy — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 7:35:54 AM -0500

Well much to my surprise, the Chargers did it. Amazing. A fun game to watch, probably less so for Colts fans. Actually, I am a big fan of both the Manning boys (with his hair growing out, Peyton looks more like Eli than ever). But tonight Peyton's magic just wasn't there. If you are gonna whine about the "free" first downs the Chargers got on their overtime drive...there was no controversy, the Colts did those crimes and had to pay for it. So you could blame ...

Mangini Fired

Anthony R — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 8:22:49 PM -0500

I'm not surprised Eric Mangini was fired. This man squandered a playoff appearance that seemed almost inevitable. Such a mistake should carry a consequence. Many armchair Quarterbacks are blaming Brett Favre for the meltdown, but those folks are borderline delusional. Yes, its true that Favre was intercepted a lot, but rewind to last season when Chad Pennington was intercepted much in the same way. Its nothing short of a miracle that Favre took the Jets to 8-3 with such miserable pass pro...

Bye Bye, Mike

Big Fat Daddy — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 7:03:39 AM -0500

The Chargers may not get past the Colts tomorrow night, I would be surprised if they did, but they did two MONUMENTAL things by beating the Broncos so soundly last week....thing 1) they sent the Broncos home...no play offs for you, my little ponies...and 2) Mike Shanahan is GONE. Not that I have any real animosity towards Mike, but he has whupped up on the Raiders way too much ever since they fired him. I know, so has everyone else lately. But he has built a tradition ar...

should there be a bcs playoof

tomtalleyhs — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 9:51:22 PM -0500

THERE SHOULD BE A BCS PLAYOFF THINK ABOUT IT EVERY MAJOR COLLEGE SPORT HAS A PLAY OFF BUT O NO FOOTBALL WANTS TO BE STUPID. A TEAM LIKE TEXAS TECH N BAMA CAN LOSE ONE GAME AT THE END OF YEAR N BE KICKED WAY IN THE BACK AND A TEAM LIKE THE GATORS WHO LOST AND SOONERS CAN JUST CUM ALONG WITH LOSING RECORDS AS WELL AND BE CHAMPS ISNT RITE I THINK THERE SHOULD BE THE FOUR BEST TEAMS GO HEAD TO HEAD AND WHOEVER WINS IS THE REAL CHAMPS...

tomtalleyhs — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 3:43:23 PM -0500

Terrell Person is a 5'9" 165 under the radar DB. He attends Marist High School in Bayonne,NJ. Terrell Person was sidelined his Junior year due to Injury. Still racking up 28 tackles 6 sacks and a few forced fumbles while only playing two games. Person also earned an All-county nod from his Head coach Larry Arico. Terrell Person returnded his Senior season to take on Henry Synder in which he racked up 8 tackles. I also seen Terrell Person when the Knights took on Linclon and Terrell went head ...

Some NFL thoughts from week 2

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Gene Upshaw

Dr Guy — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 3:09:53 PM -0400

Gene Upshaw passed away this week. At the not old age of 63. Gene and Art Shell were the core of the Raider Dynasty of the 60s and 70s. One of the players that John Madden loves to talk about, because no one else notices them - the men in the trenches. Along with Art, a pro-bowler in his own rights and the Head Coach of the Raiders on 2 separate occassions, Gene dominated the game at this position and made the Raider left side an impenetrable wall to opposing players. ...

NFC Championships at icy cold Lambeau field

terpfan1980 — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 4:50:09 PM -0500

Icy cold, frozen tundra, fans doing their best to keep warm enough to sit through the game. Yup, that's the kind of NFC Championships I'm talkin' about. Real. NFL. Football.

Peyton Manning... a study in efficiency and poise

terpfan1980 — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 1:17:39 PM -0500

After the Colts moved from Baltimore, Maryland, I didn't think I'd ever be able to cheer for them again but time heals many wounds and in the last few years I've come to at least respect the modern era Colts and especially their All Pro quarterback Peyton Manning. Sitting here and watching the playoffs, Manning is, as noted in the headline, a study in efficiency and poise. He is as steady as they come, and is incredibly quick at surveying the field and finding a receiver to get the ball...

Ah, playoff football in Greenbay...

terpfan1980 — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 11:55:30 AM -0500

Oh yeah, frozen tundra, with snow covering the field by half-time (and continuing to fall), and rock 'em sock 'em football being played on the field. Yeah, it's playoff time. While my team may be sitting home and watching on TV (and wondering who their new headcoach will be), I still enjoy NFL playoff football. Rarely are the games a let down.

Goodbye again Coach Gibbs...

terpfan1980 — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 7:15:52 PM -0500

Busy at work lately, so I didn't get a chance to jump on the news right away, but it's time to say goodbye to Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs. Sorry that things didn't work out so well this go around, and especially sorry about how tough this past season was, with the unexpected loss of an up-and-coming player (#21, Sean Taylor), but I wish you all the best in whatever you opt to do in the future. The Redskins continue their search for their next coach. It may be Greg Williams (c...
