Bloodletting in Detroit spills into press box
The bloodletting in Detroit has spilled over from Ford Field into the halls of the Fourth Estate. Detroit News columnist Rob Parker "resigned" this week in the wake of a press conference question about former Lions head coach Rod Marinelli's daughter, who was married to former Detroit DC Joe Barry. PrideofDetroit.com celebrates.
The Hollywood edition hangover While the rest of the world watched four NFL playoff games this weekend, we drank colossal amounts of homebrew at Alewives & Ales bed and breakfast in Maine and saw what we thought were a flickering collection of Hollywood releases run through our head.
Post-traumatic statistical disorder It seems everybody's a victim of something these days, from naturally hyper kids juiced down on Ritalin to whiny co-workers who claim they have "survivor's guilt" because they DIDN'T get laid off. We have our own malady, post-traumatic statistical disorder, from the carnage we witnessed last year in the playoffs.
Ed Reed, master of D universe Offensive players get an undue amount of attention when we consider the impact individuals have on the game of football. Maybe it’s time to talk about one defender, Baltimore’s Ed Reed, in the same breath. After all, his team wins when he produces, and loses when he does not.
The same old song and dance for Colts San Diego's 23-17 overtime victory against Indianapolis Saturday night was another classic failure for the Colts. After a 12-4 regular season for Indy, and an undeserved MVP award for Peyton Manning, the Colts are one-and-done in the playoffs for the sixth time in nine postseason appearances.
Postseason contenders and pretenders It's an annual tradition here at CHFF, kind of like pissing off the wife's boss in a drunken stupor at her company holiday party: we size up the postseason contenders and pretenders by looking at each playoff team through the pigskin prism of our Quality Stats.
Quality Standings say Colts win Super Bowl If one of the most interesting trends in football holds true, Peyton Manning will cap the season with a second Super Bowl title to go with his third MVP award. The Colts were the best team in the league this year against Quality Opponents, much like they were when they won the Super Bowl in 2006.
The CHFF year in review Here is our pull-no-punches Year in Review of the best and worst of the football world from the year that was 2008. We have the top football state of 2008, our first annual "can I get a refund?" award and a controversial defensive player of the year, but one who deserves the honor above all others
Power Rankings: '08 no piece of cake This NFL season has proven to be nuttier than a holiday fruitcake. An 8-8 team won its division. An 11-5 squad missed the playoffs entirely. Two teams with rookie quarterbacks and first-year coaches advanced to the postseason. And a team that went 1-15 in 2007 won its division here in 2008.
