Flacco worth every penny to Ravens

March 4, 2013 – 3:50 pm

Joe Flacco will have a Super Bowl ring soon. He already did the Disney commercial and rode in the parade. Flacco’s big, fat, new contract was finalized Monday, guaranteeing Flacco an exorbitant amount of money and ensuring that Flacco will be playing in Baltimore as long as the Ravens will have him. It’s the richest [...]

Will Cribbs get run in his last run?

December 30, 2012 – 10:49 am

I’d expect Joshua Cribbs to play some quarterback today for the Browns, who can’t expect to move the ball at all on the Steelers by handing it off to running backs not named Trent Richardson and dropping quarterback Thaddeus Lewis back to pass. Then again, I expected Cribbs to get more touches all season. We’ve [...]

The importance* of all these NFL roster moves

December 26, 2012 – 1:59 pm

Some of them are obvious. The Browns might need a quarterback — or, even scarier, quarterbacks! — for Sunday’s season finale in Pittsburgh, so they’ve made moves this week involving placing players on injured-reserve, promoting them from the practice squad and bringing them off the emergency list. The Browns are experienced in such scenarios, sadly, [...]

Moment(s) of truth for Bengals, plus a TV note

December 17, 2012 – 4:11 pm

The Bengals would like a sold out crowd and local TV coverage for their Dec. 30 season finale vs. the Ravens, and the team put the word out Monday that it’s “optimistic we can have a full house.” What will be at stake in that game? That depends mostly on the Bengals. At 9-5 with [...]

AFC playoff race pointing to the North

December 9, 2012 – 5:15 pm

The AFC playoff race has basically become a race for one spot. Mathematically, that race includes the 5-8 Cleveland Browns. The Bengals fell apart in the fourth quarter Sunday; the Steelers apparently didn’t show up. Those teams both lost to slip to 7-6 and remain tied for sixth and the second wild card spot. The [...]

Steelers sign Burress, Hoyer

November 20, 2012 – 2:43 pm

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed a couple of familiar names Tuesday in advance of their game Sunday at the Browns. One is very familiar. Veteran wide receiver and former Steeler Plaxico Burress returns to Pittsburgh, where he spent the first five (2000-04) seasons of a career that saw him catch the winning touchdown pass in the [...]

The beauty of football – and weekend predictions

November 9, 2012 – 2:50 pm

Let’s take a minute to enjoy this beautiful weather, the start of basketball season and what’s left of this beautiful football season (Browns and Bengals not included in discussion of such beauty). Football is so beautiful that Indiana and Duke remain alive to play in BCS bowl games. That is not a misprint. Football can [...]

AFC North still the haves and have-nots

October 22, 2012 – 1:38 am

CINCINNATI – Poor, pathetic, overmatched and silenced. The Bengals were all of the above Sunday night. They limp into their bye week on a three-game losing streak, have a multitude of issues to sort through and have zero momentum as they point to back-to-back home games after the bye against teams with quarterbacks named Manning, [...]

Schedule should help Bengals ticket sales

July 18, 2012 – 2:58 pm

The Bengals are putting out press releases about ticket sales. And they’re not giving away anything or begging anybody to buy them. Wednesday morning, the Bengals announced that single-game seats for an October Sunday night game vs. the Steelers and an early December game vs. the Cowboys have sold out. Tickets are still available for [...]
