by Chris Burke Filed under: Lions Calvin Johnson , now is his third professional season, has shown flashes of brilliance. His 1,200-plus yards receiving and 12 touchdowns in 2008 were incredible numbers considering Detroit finished 0-16. But "Megatron" has just one TD grab this season, and the Lions are a combined 8-33 since drafting him. So while Johnson has been stellar at times and has...

11:32 p.m.: Sunny. Forty-eight degrees on its way to 50, if not more. Perfect day for football. The fellas are on the field, running and warmng up -- except no sign of The Legend. (No, not Garrett Jones. . . that's another blog.) Brett Favre, who if I remember my history correctly arrived with Leif Ericson and the original Vikings, isn't on the field throwing. His counterpart, Ben Roethlisberger,...

More photos » by Jim Mone - AP Browse more photos » It's a personal grudge-match for PZB; Steelers vs. the hometown Vikings. Far too many bets riding on this game, and perhaps it's because these are the two teams PZB hears about the most often, but it looks like two mirrored teams will be squaring off at Heinz Field. Both teams can make arguments supporting them having the best three-deep...

Even the sports media has become increasingly dumbed-down to the point of completed retardation these days, and I'm not referring to its tendency to interject politics into sports, I'm talking about the ability of the announcers to simply do their freaking jobs. Last week, the announcers at the Steeler-Lions game were rambling on interminably about Brett Favre playing in the dark. Brett Favre, you...

The Vikings got off to a fast start against the Ravens, scoring on their first two possessions to take a 14-0 lead. Unfortunately, the offense bogged down after that. Thankfully, the Ravens’ offense looked largely inept, even after Antoine Winfield and Benny Sapp both left the game with injuries. The score was just 14-3 at the half. [...]
