In honor of your Championship, I have made you a custom card. Of course, like every other bit of Super Bowl Championship paraphernalia that is released .5 seconds after the final play of the game, I had a custom card all set to go for both the possibility of a Giants win as well as […]

This is it, folks. Super Bowl Sunday. Right up there with Christmas and The 4th of July and Thanksgiving as the Greatest of All American Holidays. Plus it’s acceptable (at least in my mind) to start drinking beer before noon. My Boys in Blue have pulled themselves within 1 win of the whole shebang. Honestly, […]

So a few hours from now, Big Blue and the Niners will be flipping a coin to see who kicks off in the NFC Championship game. A few hours after that, I’ll either be deliriously happy that the Giants are heading to the Super Bowl again or I’m going to be some form of pissed […]

I personally am feeling just a little left of center, but I will soon commence biting the dog that bit me in preparation for… Winner will be walking home with all the marbles, heading to the post-season, loser will […]

Now that all that baseball jazz is out of the way, we can get down the real business of occupying our time with other sports until baseball starts up again. After a bye week (or is it a buy week?), I’ll be sitting on the couch with a frosty cold beer and some sort of […]

Since I have a little time before the Giants game starts, and since the baseball playoffs have proved to be no where near as exciting as Game 162, I figured I’d show a couple of old football cards that I picked up recently. All three cards are from the 1969 Topps Football set. First up, […]

I guess that’s pretty apropos for them to win the Lombardi Trophy. My only complaint is that because Jordy Nelson can’t catch a football I’m out $500. Goddamn box pools. Anyway, here’s to you, Cheeseheads. Now we can get back to baseball.
