Link: Hines Ward Retires

From ESPN.com No matter how you felt about former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward, who announced his retirement today, chances are you had some kind of opinion about him.  Whether you viewed him as a success story because of his mediocre speed and stature, or if you hated him because you were a Baltimore Ravens’ … Read more

Pick (‘Em) and Pop, Week 3

by Justin Cherot   I was dumb enough to think that I was the first person to think of Week 1′s clever headline, but apparently I’m not.  Thanks a bunch, Bleacher Report!    Any how, I decided to be like the Oakland Raiders’ secondary (no words…) and take the week off from making picks on the site, although if … Read more

Let’s Do Some Lines, Week 1

by Justin Cherot It’s no secret that basketball is my first love.  I mean, it’s not like you stumbled upon the “Cover 1 Robber” blog, right?  Colin and I are equal opportunity sports’ enthusiasts… okay, at least Colin is.  But, I’m a realist: football is America’s favorite sport (attention anyone who just asked about baseball: you … Read more

A Maddening NFL Preview

by Justin Cherot Fun facts about me that you can’t Google using this link or this link: There’s an unreleased mixtape starring myself and G-Fury (AKA Greg Lambert, who just became the sprinting coach at the University of Richmond. How far we’ve come).  Not trying to brag, but if my delivery were just a tad … Read more

The Notebook: What I’ve Been Watching the Past Week

By Justin Cherot I’ve tried this a couple of times on the old BETA Live From the Nosebleeds site, but essentially the gimmick with “The Notebook” is this: a smattering of thoughts that pop into my size seven head (by New Era standards), none of which are either big enough for an entire post or … Read more

Week 3 Picks

By Justin Cherot Yes, PnP didn’t go all CBA or XFL on you guys.  Both Colin and I have had busy weeks–me with school and work, Colin with teaching the kiddies.  For the sake of renewing my writing vigor, I’ve decided to come out of the woodwork.  After all, if I’m going to deliver the … Read more

Quick Hitters: Seymour to Raiders, Angels a Threat, Gender Testing and NFL Opener

by Colin Donohue Here are some quick hitters from the sports world today. I’d say, “Here’s what I’m burnin’ on,” but that would implicitly endorse Jim Rome as some kind of consequential sports analyst. The dude is a joke and, at this point, a parody of himself. What a clown. So I ain’t burnin’ on … Read more

HEADS-UP: First Annual PnP NFL Picks

By Justin Cherot We’re an hour and a half away from the dawn of a new NFL season.  Colin is chomping at the bit for the start of the NHL season, and I can’t wait for basketball to tip-off, but until then, the NFL is here to satisfy our palette. Anyway, before I get into … Read more

One Season, 32 Sentences

by Colin Donohue I’m back after almost two weeks. I figured that I could never do better than a post about the awkward hilarity of former NBA bona fide superstar Gheorghe Muresan. (C’mon. Does it get any better than Craig Kilborn saying, “Doesn’t matter who won the game. Hor-hay wins with this move.” The answer? … Read more

NFL Queries: AFC North

by Colin Donohue The NFL season is just a couple of months away, which means training camps are approaching quickly. Most teams begin in less than a week. And because everything centered on the NFL is a huge event, it’s no surprise that the league’s lead-up to meaningless preseason games–training camp–gets oodles of attention from … Read more
