Holmgren, Why?
by: MichaelGenovese
Anytime you can trade for a career back up and sign a washed-up 35-year-old, gun-slinging quarterback you have to pull the trigger. What better way to improve a young, inexperienced team then by adding Jake Delhomme?
Sure, he threw 18 interceptions in 11 games last year. Sure, he had two horrible seasons in a row, and [...]

Athletes and their second chances
On February 19, 2010 at 8:48 am
Second chances. We love to give them.
As a matter of fact, we give second chances to all sorts of famous people all the time.
But we really love giving them to athletes. By “we” I am referring to the paying, sport-loving public. Just give it some thought - how many athletes have we forgiven?
We have forgiven Mike Tyson for raping a woman. [...]

On February 18, 2010 at 8:50 am
Satire from The Endive…
NASCAR veterans Dick Trickle, Greg Biffle and Rich Bickle came together in a rare panel discussion yesterday after Jamie McMurray’s Daytona 500 victory.
“McMurray was in quite a pickle,” said Trickle to Bickle, “Dale Earnhart, Jr., was coming up fast.”
Roush Racing’s Greg Biffle agreed.
“Dale Junior’s car was faster than a sniffle,” said Biffle [...]

Bogie’s sources in the West Wing leaked this fascinating memo from the POTUS to Tiger Woods.
Therefore, I am obliged to post it here in a spirit of public service and America’s right to know.

Tiger,
I’m very pleased to hear that [...]
NBA All-Star Weekend!! (sarcasm intended)
On February 10, 2010 at 6:00 am
Who really cares that the NBA All-Star weekend is coming up?
That’s the real question at hand. Who cares about the NBA at all until the very last playoff series?
I know I don’t. I am not suggesting there isn’t talent in the NBA. Obviously there is. The league features stand out stars like Lebron “I don’t shake [...]
Miami Madness: Super Bowl XLIV
On at 5:59 am
This year’s Super Bowl received a Miami makeover: South Beach, FL was invaded by throngs of Saints and Colts fans ready to party.
The chaotic Ocean Boulevard hosted a variety of sponsors and giveaways, endless outdoor restaurant options, and week-long live television broadcasts and performances along the beach. The Pepsi Stage presented hot artists such [...]
A Look at the Super Blah Ads
On February 9, 2010 at 9:19 am
For two years running, the game has been more exciting than the ads. Good for football, not so good for those of us who watch for the ads.
As a hardworking humorist (check out my web site, The Endive (Cha-ching!)) who has worked in advertising, I don’t have much patience for a company who blows a [...]
Who Dat winning the Championship?
On February 6, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Who takes home the Lombardi Trophy?
Everyone talks about what the Super Bowl win will mean for different parties involved. A Saints victory would be tremendous for the city of New Orleans. A Colts victory will solidify Peyton Manning’s place in history as one of, if not the best quarterback to ever play [...]
Who should be #1 in the country?
On February 2, 2010 at 8:24 am
The Kansas Jayhawks are the number one team in college men’s basketball.
It’s a little strange because they were already number one and lost, but here they are again perched in the top spot.
Villanova is the 2nd ranked team in the land. That makes more sense considering they are 19-1 and undefeated in the toughest conference [...]
Who Dat Gonna Beat Da Owners?
On February 1, 2010 at 8:16 am
In the latest display of “Big-Sports” hubris, the NFL is aggressively pursuing mom and pop Nawlins shops selling merchandize with the rather curious and parochial slogan “Who Dat.”
Wikipedia says, “The chant of “Who Dat?” originated in minstrel shows and vaudeville acts of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and was then taken up by jazz [...]
Pam Tebow, Pro Choice
On January 30, 2010 at 12:57 am
On Super Bowl Sunday, CBS has decided to air a commercial produced by the pro-life group, Focus on Family, featuring Pam Tebow, mother of Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
Working as a missionary with her family in the Phillipines in the mid-1980’s, Mrs. Tebow fell into a coma after contracting amoebic dysentery. The strong drug regimen [...]
Kurt Warner, Headed to Canton?
On January 28, 2010 at 9:33 am
Kurt Warner is expected to announce that he’s stepping away from football on Friday.
He doesn’t quite waffle like Favre or John Kerry but he has been flirting with retirement for a while. He is 38 years old and can still play. He had an outstanding season and his team’s wild card game against the Packers was nothing [...]
Win or Lose, Favre’s season one for the ages!
On January 21, 2010 at 8:03 am
Whether or not Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings march into New Orleans and win really doesn’t make any difference.
Brett Favre has already won.
He came back this season after the whole “will he or won’t he” nonsense because he knew he could still play football. Well he was 100% right and football fans everywhere are better [...]
