Take your pick: Chad or Vick

Two playoff contending teams, two young quarterbacks, two legacies to prove. Chad Pennington and Mike Vick are a duo of fiery youngsters with unlimited potential and boundless jubilance. Both men started their careers illustriously as Pennington led the Jets past the first round of the playoffs in 2002, and Vick revolutionized the definition of a playmaker, while earning his spot as the poster boy for the Madden cover.

Both quarterbacks also suffered the horrific fate that all rookie stars dread, injury. Having fully recovered from injuries that had them sidelined for most of last season, these young superstars are out to show the world they belong in football.

Two vastly different players with the same goal in mind, to win. The only question now: whom would you take, Pennington or Vick?

Coaches on the Hot Seat

It is never too early to start speculating which NFL head coaches are in trouble.  With up to a third of the teams changing coaches each year, keeping up with the status of head coaches has become a habit for serious NFL fans.  Some casinos have started betting lines on who will be the first coach fired.  As another NFL season is about to begin, it is appropriate to evaluate the state of each Head Coach.

Celtics and Payton Playing a Classic Game

Chances are that even if you’re relatively wet behind the ears you’ll have at least some recognition when I mention the game of chicken that James Dean and Corey Allen played in Rebel Without a Cause. In the film’s defining scene, Dean’s character Jim races Allen’s character Buzz off a cliff in the ultimate contest testing the machismo of the adolescents. In the end, Buzz goes down in a blaze of glory, while Jim, bruised ego and all, goes on to learn the error of his ways and along the way bags Natalie Wood and boosts the sale of under shirts by, like a billion percent. Good stuff.

The Olympics: Something For Everyone

As I’m sure we’ll all aware, the 2004 Athens Olympics are (somewhat surprisingly) underway on time.  To me, the Olympics are still one of the most exciting and engrossing events of the year.  They represent the highest level of competition in nearly every sport represented therein, and there’s someone to cheer for in every event.  Hell, you don’t even have to understand the event you’re watching to become totally captivated by it.
