Here's a blast from the past! The last seconds from the 1990 NFC Championship game between the New York Giants and the San Francisco 49ers.

Yeah baby!   read more

So I'm watching the Rose Bowl New Year's Day on ABC. (Check That! TSN!)Just about every advertisement that came up was for Bacardi Rum. Now, it didn't just run two or three times, but it ran with just about every commercial break that came up.I'm saying to myself, WTF? What kind of Traffic Manager would schedule such a thing? Even worse, is sales that bad at TSN that they literally have no other advertisers available?Can you imagine ESPN doing the same thing? There would be a bloody revolt, especially from Mothers Against Drunk Driving.It also led me to believe that the sales department at TSN   read more

There is just no excuse for any Giants team to give up that many points in a season, unless the coach doesn   read more
