Why The Big East Is Alot Like Czechoslovakia
We are now roughly two thirds of the way through the long desert that is the College Football off season. Being that is the dead period in the sport the journalists who cover it full time, not to mention the army of blogger's, have to write about something. Easily the most popular meme of the past...
11/26/1998 - The Turkey Day coin flip
(Luckett, Bettis and a pair of Lions observe the coin flip) One of the strangest controversies to befall a referee concerned the most basic facet of a football game: the coin flip. It was Thanksgiving day -- the Lions and Steelers were tied at 16 at the end of regulation. Phil Luckett met the team...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1995
After two weeks off for a variety of reasons (most of which involved needing to devote my time to studying for my first test in more than two years), the Year-by-Year makes a triumphant return. 1995 was one of those awesome, sucky seasons. If you love reading about when the team was really, really...
49ers Year-by-Year: 1991
In this week's installment of 49ers Year-by-Year, we examine the 1991 season. 1991 was a season that was all but lost after the team underwent an almost sweeping cost-cutting round of roster moves, and then lost Joe Montana to an elbow injury for the full season. Steve Young had come into games...
49ers' Year-by-Year: 1990
In this week's edition of the 49ers' Year-by-Year, we follow the 49ers through their 1990 season.

49ers Year-by-Year: 1989
This is a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers 1989 season. 1989 ushered in a new age for both the NFL and the 49ers, but how would it affect the product on the field? How could George Seifert possibly fill the shoes of Bill Walsh? 1989 would end up being one of the most memorable...
March 29, 1984: A Date in Baltimore Sports Infamy
On a snowy night back on this date in 1984, the ugly green and yellow Mayflower moving vans packed up the last remnants of the Baltimore Colts and snuck away in the dark to Indianapolis, Indiana. Robert Irsay, one of the most hated names in Baltimore, stole the team he had bought and ran into the...
United Football League to kick off in October
A while back rumors began circulating about the opening a new league called the United Football League. Well, it appears this new league is going to kick off this October. The league will kick off with four franchises located in seven cities (no that's not a typo). They are Las Vegas/Los...
Tim Finchem Made About $100K Last Week
Jealous? Jon Show at Sports Business Journal peered through the PGA Tour's tax filings (which is a 501(c)6 nonprofit, by the way) and found that Tim Finchem made $4.8 million in 2007. That's down from $5.2 million in 2006, but up from $4.2 million in 2005. Finchem earned a bonus for 2006 work...
Game 9: Ravens @ Browns
The Ravens reach the halfway point at 5-3, which is a huge upgrade over the previous eight games at the end of last year. At this point, they should still be in the playoff hunt and if healthy, their young players, especially on the offensive line and at QB, will only get better with more...
