A lot of NFL action today as the Playoff Picture has all but materialized. The San Diego Chargers faced an elimination game against half of a Kansas City Chiefs squad. The stars aligned for the Chargers and it looked like the Chargers would squander their playoff berth. A missed field goal by the Chiefs would […]
Our boy Phil isn’t quite getting the attention he deserves thanks to Peyton Manning’s ridiculous performances so far this season, but Phil will always be one of my All-time favorite State players. There is no coincidence that Phil’s play is related to San Diego finally getting rid of Norv Turner who single handedly brought a […]
As a Bronco fan that’s jubilant that the Tebow circus has left town (even for a fragile star replacement, hopefully Manning does better in blue and orange than a glue factory ready Tony Dorsett once did), I am eagerly looking forward to Fall Sundays in addition to Saturdays.

Evidently something has gone askew in the tracking of time here on earth. Despite the current dislocation in time and space, NC State will accept the situation as a near miss; but that doesn’t translate into good news for one of our all-time favorites – Andre Brown – as the former NC State running back […]
