His new book, “The Last Headbangers,” traces the NFL from the Immaculate Reception, Franco Harris’s miraculous, last-second, shoestring catch and touchdown romp against the...

Week 5 NFL Picks – Jay’s Plays

Rough week for Ernesto and I here at AWITP – when was the last time the Chiefs, Lions, Browns, and Bills all won? 1970? Meanwhile Pittsburgh has no offense, defense, or clue.

Week 4 NFL Picks – Jay’s Plays!

We went 1-1 last week, losing with the Vikings (surprise, surprise…), who laid a egg on defense at home against the hapless Browns, but we won as both the Chargers and Packers covered for us paired together in a teaser.
