So here are a few memories, off the top of my head, from the Colts-Patriots games in recent years: * It started for me in 2001, when the thought was that the unbeaten Colts would take apart the Patriots without QB Drew Bledsoe.

ConWebBlog: The Weblog of ConWebWat (Free subscription) | 11/04/2009

Newsmax teed up its election coverage of the New Jersey governor's race -- as it did during the Minnesota Senate recount -- by having Matthew Vadum make vague, baseless accusations.

[...] "There has been...

More Biased 'Experts' At Newsmax

ConWebBlog: The Weblog of ConWebWat (Free subscription) | 10/19/2009

We've previously mentioned how Newsmax likes to present "experts" to attack Obama policies without clearly explaining that all of the "experts" they cite are conservative and are presumably more interested in advancing a political agenda. This happens again in an Oct. 18 Newsmax article by David Patten citing "scholars" to back up a claim that "President Obama's...

Dawgs By Nature (Free subscription) | 08/26/2009

Is there really a point to roster transactions this late into training camp? Sure, maybe we're trying to scout players that might end up on our practice squad in the future, but a week really isn't a lot to go by. As I'm sure you can tell, the training camp reports are more so "general team notes" now as opposed to specifics on how the day went. It's like that every year as public camp sessions...
