After the Super Bowl, we enter the lull that is technically the off-season.

Sure, if you follow college football, you can get all hopped up reading draft cheat sheets, even wishing, hoping, praying that your team takes the player(s) that you feel your team needs to compete.

But, let’s face it – it’s hard enough to stay on top of all the NFL news let alone all things college as well. Not that it’s a bad thing if you do, but for myself at least, I just don’t have the time.

So, after the granddaddy of them all, we’ve got nothing to look forward to until the pre-season starts. And we only look forward to the pre-season because, well, we’ll be so burnt out from football withdrawal that we start watching little league games on Youtube.

Now, for everyone their off-season is different. For writers like myself, we rack our brains trying to think of things to write about that aren’t already being pumped out at a mile a minute by the bigger sports writers. We try to keep you entertained and we love every second of it.

But what happens once writer’s block sets in, which it inevitably does?

We turn to our handy-dandy TV Guide channel. We look at the lineup and see all of the great NBA action going.

But, to be honest, unless you’re a die hard NBA fan, you don’t care about the sport until the playoffs are here. And these playoffs are just going to

Super Bowl Hangover Recap

I find myself dragging my feet today getting a recap article of the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl victory on the site. It could be the fact that 106.5 million people watched the Saints beat the Colts (a record for TV viewers)  so there isn’t anything I’m going to tell you that you don’t already know. It could also be the fact that many of our writers (especially Wag and Kenny from New Orleans) are a little hung-over today.

I can tell you though, that no hang over can compare to the feeling Hank Baskett must be feeling right now. After having the onside kick attempt bounce right off his head, Hank would have definitely change the game completely if the Colts had recovered that ball. Gridiron Experts had mentioned that special teams were going to play a major role in this game, but no one saw this coming.

Other thoughts

• No one ever…and I mean ever can say that coach Sean Payton doesn’t have huge balls. His aggressive play calling could have been seen as crazy if a little luck hadn’t came his way, but “you play to win the game” and I hope his aggressive style inspires more coaches to let loose next year.
• Joseph Addai played an excellent game. I thought at one point he was going to win the MVP, that was until the Saints amazing second half performance and of coarse some of the perfect throws Manning was making.
• How did the ref standing two feet away from Moore’s two point conversion not see that it was a catch…nice challenge.
• Peyton “Frankenstein” Manning’s pick 6 will eat away at him the whole off-season, women and small children should run for the hills.
• Drew Brees’s kid was cute.
• Alot of the commercials sucked…we added our fav’s

How lame is it that the season is over!…well, bring on the NFL draft.
