Are The Redskins TRYING To Embarrass Zorn?

Yesterday, Christmas (or, Hanukkah) came early for DC sports fans.
After so many long years of mismanagement and giving Daniel Snyder the ol’ lapdog treatment, Vinny Cerrato, the team’s director of football operations, quit.
In his place comes the Redskins fist true general manager of the Snyder ownership era. Bruce Allen has deep and long running ties [...]

Chris Henry Dies

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry, who has been on injured reserver for the past month, was seriously injured in an accident earlier today and is reportedly on life support in a Charlotte Hospital.
The oft-troubled Henry, who was arrested four times in a seven-month span in 2008, was apparently tossed from the bed of a [...]

NSF vs The Spread Week 15: FUMBLE!!!!!

No, we didnt fumble here at NSF this week, but the Arizona Cardinals sure did in their loss to the Niners Monday night. Seven times they put it on the ground and lost 5 of them. The Red Birds now have fumbled 27 times this year and lost 15 of them. Every running back fumbled [...]

Big Ten Expansion – The Domino Effect (Or, How The Big East Once Again Gets Screwed Royally)

So the Big Ten conference, what of it’s “three yards and a cloud of dust” and multi-million dollar in revenue generation TV network, wants a 12th team.
Remarkably, it has already been 19 years since the conference added an 11th team. Doesn’t time fly, JoePa?
Now, in a statement released yesterday, the league is ready to add [...]

This is the Definition of Epic Fail

Let me start this off my saying that I do not expect pity in any way shape or form, when you are the defending Super Bowl champs you have to expect a certain amount of crap when your team fails. But this has crossed the line from disappointing into just plain lunacy. No [...]

NSF vs The Spread Week 14: UGH!

I know this has nothing to do with the BCS, but i thought we needed a little change of pace here at No Sir Fans. Instead of complaining about something that will never change (the bowl system), im going to complain about how much we sucked last weekend. It was bad. I feel like the [...]

Would the Fiesta Bowl Like To Explain Itself?

Somewhere in the depths of my mind, I have tried over the last few days to piece together a supposed memo that BCS commissioner John Swofford sent Fiesta Bowl chairman John Junker this past Saturday night.
I imagine it went something like this:
Dear John-
So, as you know, we’ve got this nasty little problem where we’re probably [...]

Why I’m Done Defending The Rose Bowl

For the longest time, I”ve stood up for the BCS.
I longed for the pageantry, cried for the money and screamed for the tradition of bowl games…as a whole.
I’m also the world’s biggest West Coast football apologist. I’m the walking, breathing antithesis of East Coast Bias. I’m the guy that stays up until 3:00 a.m. to [...]

Why the BCS is as Close to Perfect as Were Going to Get

It’s that time of year again, when college football goes bowling. With bowling comes the inevitable complaining about which team got screwed out of which bowl. And of course the big complaint is who should be playing in the National Title game.
This year we are giving the Big XII Champion Texas Longhorns against [...]

NSF vs The Spread Week 13: Just Give Him the MVP Already

Seriously! I know he has been mentioned as a candidate and everything, but why isnt Brett Favre the unanimous choice to be the NFL MVP? Yeah, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning have had great seasons, but at the beginning of the year, you expected them to have great seasons. Did anyone think Favre would have [...]
