Quest for Greatness: A Punter’s Tale

A little trivia question: Who holds the NFL record for most consecutive games played?  Brett Favre, of course… right?  Nope.  Incorrect.  Negatory.  Wrongo.  The correct answer is Jeff Feagles.  No, not the crazy kicker from Ace Ventura.  That was Ray Finkle.  ”If he had held the ball laces out like he’s supposed to, Ray would [...]

Does your football team suck?  I’m a Patriots fan, so my team doesn’t, but don’t worry, I’ve been in your shoes before.  Remember, in the 90’s Boston fans were just a bunch of miserable losers.  You hang on to hope until you hear that tragic death sentence: “mathematically eliminated.”  You love the draft because your [...]

The Smorgasbord

By Rob LaBrie

For the past month or so, I’ve been a little busy trying to elude Stephen Jackson and his posse.  Ever since I threw that beer on one of them in the Bada-Bing strip club, they’ve been tryin’ to bust a cap in my (butt) and chasin’ me with Cadillac Escalades.  So, needless to [...]
