Super Bowl Ironies

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

A few leftover notes from this year's Super Bowl: - How fitting is it that the two players most responsible for breaking Colts fans' hearts in this year's Super Bowl were rooted on by the very same fans in their collegiate careers? Purdue alum Drew Brees was the MVP of the game, ...

A Saints Party Recap

Monday, February 1st, 2010

A lot of people around the country probably wondered, "How crazy was the party in New Orleans after the Saints won last Sunday night?" So crazy that it took me a week to effectively recover and talk about it in full detail. Not that this comes as any surprise. New Orleans has ...

Hot Tub Time Machine Brings Us Criminal QBs And Defeats

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

So I’m sitting in this hot tub with three other middle-aged dudes, getting drunk, having a blast and then BAM! all of the sudden the water starts spinning and the next thing I know we’re in 1986. Sounds retarded, right? Well ladies and gentlemen, I give you the premise for “Hot Tub ...

Your Official Ridiculous Colts’ Super Bowl XLIV E-Mail Thread

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Every group has one. That one nut. A crazed fan who spouts off stats more than The Situation lifts his shirt. I have a friend who qualifies. He is without a doubt the most ridiculous sports fan I've ever encountered. I swear, if this kid put half as much effort into ...

IU Football Finally Beats Michigan!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

This may be the only time in life I ever use this headline, so take it easy, Wolverine fans. Anyway, during yesterday's telecast of the Saints-Dolphins game, Rumors and Rants fan-favorite Dick Stockton brought up a conversation that the announcing crew had with Miami quarterback Chad Henne earlier this week. Stockton noted ...

So, What Went Wrong?

Monday, January 5th, 2009

After what was arguably the most interesting final Sunday in NFL history -- The Big Lead at least had a premonition of this awesomeness, but it played out far wackier than any of us could have anticipated -- and a fairly decent Wild Card weekend, we're down the final eight playoff contestants. ...

Chargers Redistribute The Defense

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

As a Chargers fan, I can't bring myself to celebrate the departure of Ted Cottrell. Sure, he was the architect of an underachieving defense who made Art Shell seem animated on the sidelines. Sure, he had no idea how to use the incredibly talented personnel given him by GM A.J. ...

McD’s Week 9 Picks

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Happy weekend, everyone. It's a Rumors and Rants road trip this week, so we'll have to see if people in the south are okay with dorks with computers in their sports bars or not. Should be interesting. Congress created the BCS! Okay, not really. But take a look at these rankings: 1. Georgia 2. ...

Somehow This Must Be Ed Hochuli’s Fault

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Poor Ed Hochuli. He and his crew just can't catch a break this year. It seems like every game they officiate as some bizzaro call or controversy that finds the ripped official in a whirlwind of pissed off fans. The fine people of New Orleans let Hochuli have it a few ...
