NFL Divisional Playoffs Picks – Jay’s Plays

Thank you Cincinnati Bengals for spitting the bit against an obviously inferior Chargers team. Four turnovers in S.D. territory while driving for scores…who did you think you were playing? Cleveland?

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...

Uneven FIFA 2014 World Cup Groups Put Europe, U.S. Behind 8-Ball Early

They were called “laughably uneven” the moment they were posted, and the critics are right. The 2014 FIFA World Cup groupings could not have been more unbalanced, severely handicapping Europe’s best squads while Argentina gets a red carpet trip straight to the semi-finals. And yes, most pundits think the United States’ best chance of getting...

Tough week last week as guest prognosticator Navi the Cat went 3-3 overall, 1-2 in teasers. But the season totals are still a solid 19-11-1 in teasers, 47-14-1 overall. Go figure Vol. 1: The Steelers bench Ike Taylor, (who’d you think is St. Ike to the folks in Pittsburgh), gets benched and Megatron doesn’t catch a pass in the second half. Go figure Vol...
