Sweet 21: Red Wings Make Record-Breaking History with 21 Consecutive Home Wins

No other team in NHL history has ever accomplished what the 2011-12 Detroit Red Wings did last night. Win 21 straight games at home. In front of a home crowd that has seen its team lose just three times at the Joe–twice in regulation and once in overtime–the Wings have been nearly flawless. I’ll admit […]

End of an Era: FAU bids Howard Schnellenberger farewell

Howard Schnellenberger is Florida Atlantic football and that’s one thing that will never change. The legendary coach, who has coached 27 seasons in college as well as served as offensive coordinator for the undefeated ’72 Miami Dolphins, needs no introduction. The man behind the evolution of FAU football, which saw the culmination of an on-campus […]

FAU staring down 0-12 season

FAU staring down 0-12 season

In the 10-year history of the Shula Bowl, Florida Atlantic has dominated Florida International eight of the nine previous meetings. FIU’s lone Shula Bowl win was a 52-6 rout in 2005 that was later vacated by the NCAA. So heading into Shula Bowl X, even despite their 0-8 standing, the Owls had every reason to […]

“Tell Martz, Say F*** Him”

“Tell Martz, Say F*** Him”

I have no idea how I missed this when it happened. In the final minute of the second quarter, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has some choice words for offensive coordinator Mike Martz. “Tell Martz, say f*** him.” The reaction from running back Matt Forte is priceless. Even before those words come out of his mouth […]

D-Day for Bears in Detroit

D-Day for Bears in Detroit

We are now mere hours from the start of what is guaranteed to be the most raucous crowd at Ford Field to date when the Chicago Bears take on the Detroit Lions in a much-hyped Monday Night Football match-up. The Lions are 4-0 for the first time since 1980 and are eying their first 5-0 […]

“What do you expect? The guy’s a Packers fan!”

My hatred for the Green Bay Packers is well documented. So when I saw this video, I just had to share. This is so something that I would do. Though I would like to point out that I wouldn’t go as easy on this douchebag as this girl did. I. HATE. CHEESEHEADS!

The Greatest Punt Return That Never Was

The Greatest Punt Return That Never Was

The greatest moment for the Bears in Sunday’s 27-17 loss to rivals Green Bay came with a minute left in the game. The Packers punted the ball and all eyes, including the FOX cameras, turned to Devin Hester. Before I even realized what was happening, the camera whipped to Johnny Knox, who was sprinting down […]

Where does Bears offense go from here?

Where does Bears offense go from here?

When Jay Cutler stepped to the podium following Sunday’s disheartening 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, he didn’t know where to begin when discussing the inconsistent and embarrassing performance by the offense. “It’s so hit and miss in what we’re doing well and what we’re not doing well that I don’t even know where […]
