The NFL lockout of its referees is about one thing--the NFL wants to take their pensions away. Why? Because other workers don't have them so the NFL doesn't want the refs to have them either. Really, it's that simple. Leaving behind the utter incompetence of...

So how did the scab refs do in Week 1 of the NFL? Pretty bloody awful. The Green Bay-San Francisco game was particularly egregious: Midway through the second quarter at.
Travis Waldron has a very good piece up at Think Progress about the referee lockout and player safety. The National Football League Players Association, a year removed from being locked.
As some of you probably know, the NFL has refused to sign a new contract with the referees union and has pulled together crews of scab referee labor. They are terrible. The players are outraged, even in meaningless preseason games. The referees are incompetent amateurs...
Yesterday, 6 players were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I was particularly excited by the inclusion of the great Seattle Seahawk Cortez Kennedy, one of my favorite.
I feel bad for the Baltimore Ravens defense. Year after year, Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata, etc. put in amazing performances, but they are consistently sabotaged by.
Saturday's game is a good lesson in making predictions based on intuition. The numbers suggest that Alex Smith has become a very serviceable QB, and despite my skepticism played very well against a terrible defense. The numbers also show that Tim Tebow is really, really...
New Orleans at San Fransisco: Really interesting game. While the Lions, while not bad, are essentially an inferior version of the Saints playing on their home turf, the 49ers are.
Why, it's almost enough to make me think that those times that John Elway out-dueled Drew Bledsoe weren't particularly relevant to today's game. So, to the people who gave Tebow.
Rick Perry compared himself to Tim Tebow. One can see the analogy, in that neither is particularly competent. But it ultimately fails, because 1)nobody thinks Perry is good, and 2)I don't think Marion Barber is going to take votes away from Gingrich, Romney and Paul...
Normally, when icing the kicker "works" God kills twenty kittens. But if the Cowboys lose, She saves them instead. Garrett must have been disappointed he couldn't do it himself. .
So what do people think was the most amazing of Tim Tebow's many amazing plays today? Tebow kicking a 59-yard field goal Tebow ordering the Bears secondary to play no.
