Title Belts and Sweat Pants

In a few short days, the Patriots and Eagles will face off in the most dramatic embarrassment of riches this young century has seen, otherwise known as this year’s Super Bowl.  The NFL certainly didn’t need this.  Unlike professional baseball or basketball, the NFL knows that its championship game will be a ratings colossus each and every year.

In The NFL- Balance Wins Championships

If you look at the two teams getting ready to battle it out on February 6th in the Super Bowl, the Eagles and Patriots both have experienced coaches, two great quarterbacks, and two very qualified owners. However, the key to the success of these two franchises, especially the Patriots, is their balance.

If there was any doubt that the New England Patriots are the best team in football, last Sundays domination of the Steelers erased any of it.

Sexuality and Sports

With The Super Bowl approaching, I can’t help but think of one thing from last year’s Super Bowl.  Is it the Patriots winning? No. Does it have anything to do with football? Of course not.  When I think of the Super Bowl, I will forever think of the “Wardrobe Malfunction” that took place during the half time show last year.

Roethlisberger a hit in Pittsburgh

It’s April 24, 2004 the opening bell to the NFL draft has rung and everyone waits in awe to see who the first quarterback taken will be.  Eli or Phillip?  How lucky is Pittsburgh that the experts, scouts, and draft day crawls were mistaken on the quarterback hierarchy?  Ben Roethlisberger is a shoe-in for rookie of the year honors and because of what he has done to make his team better there isn’t a close second.

Who Needs Warmth? We’ve Got the Pats!

By Ryan McGowan

Recently I was driving with my parents up to Waterville, Maine, to watch my brother play basketball for Colby College.  I have never been a huge fan of the Pine Tree State.  Even with my father’s affection for the state he went to college in, the love for Maine is by no means genetic.  I don’t mind a nice Saturday afternoon drive past moose crossings and through toll booths manned by 80-year-old guys who look like they just crawled out of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary, ending up in some old factory city which the factory abandoned decades ago.  It’s kind of relaxing.  I just don’t know how anyone could ever live there voluntarily.  In fact, if not for Maine’s network of small but highly reputable colleges, I don’t know why anyone from the Lower 47 states would ever venture there between the months of September and June.

As the time ticked down in the AFC Championship, one theory that has been making the rounds in the sports world over the past two years was proved:  

The New England Patriots are better than everyone else.
