Thanksgiving can mean lots of things to lots of different people.

However, the three F’s tend to be a common trend cross the country

Family.

Food.

FOOTBALL!!!

And for the first time since the Nixon administration, the Lions are playing a meaningful game on Turkey Day. And we certainly can’t forget about Harbageddon in Baltimore on Thursday night!

The WWE’s Twitter Obession is Becoming Unbearable

with one comment

A few months ago, I wrote an article focusing on the impact of Social Media in Professional Wrestling, and lo and behold the “Reality Era” came to pass.

CM Punk and, to a lesser extent, Zack Ryder’s ushering in of this new era created a buzz and excitement not experienced in the WWE in a long time.

Over the course of the last few weeks, the WWE, as it so often does, has almost entirely deflated the buzz from this past summer. In case you’ve been out of the loop, Raw has become a de facto plug-in for Twitter.

NFL Week 11 Power Rankings

When John Skelton beats you in your own building, it may be time to rethink this whole “Dream Team” concept, no?

While the dream may be dead in Philly, the dream of an undefeated season is alive and well in Green Bay, and the dream of drafting Andrew Luck may become a quick reality in Indy.

The Not So Awesome Truth About Survivor Series

with one comment

 

Survivor Series is only five days away.

The Rock is making his triumphant return to the ring after a seven year absence.

We should all be eagerly anticipating Sunday, November 20.

NFL Week 10 Power Rankings

leave a comment »

So the top two quarterbacks from the 2005 Draft are leading their teams to the front of the pack this season.

If you thought back in 2007 that Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith would both be competing at a high level, you are lying to yourself.

Rodgers was parked behind old man Favre, and Smith was on his third of seven different offensive coordinators.

Look who’s laughing now!

NFL Week 9 Power Rankings

with 2 comments

Remember when we all thought the Chiefs would be the frontrunners for Andrew Luck after the first month of the season? Yeah, neither do I. Amazing what a four game winning streak will do.

At least the Dolphins and Colts keep losing, and look out for the dark horse contenders out in Arizona.

The “Suck for Luck” Campaign figures to heat up substantially!

NFL Week 8 Power Rankings

And on the eighth week, Aaron Rodgers rested.

After getting off to a quick 7-0 start, the league’s best team is off this week, but fear not we have Tebowmania aplenty!

Also, we have those loveable Indianapolis Colts in action still; can’t wait to see what they have planned for an encore from last week.

NFL Week 7 Power Rankings

We knew the Packers were good, but did we know that the 49ers would be this good?

With that cupcake division, there is virtually no way this team doesn’t get a first round bye.

For those of you who enjoy Primetime football games, these last two weeks have been painful.

Who’s ready for Blaine Gabbert in HD!?!?

Pretty interesting. I scored a 68 out of 100 for this, which is pretty good considering I only read the Kerning Wikipedia entry once.
