Super Bowl Poker Game

Are you hosting a Super Bowl Party? Want to put a little money on the game with your friends, but tired of the traditional “Super Bowl Squares”? Gridiron Experts has a poker game that is fun for all that we’d love to share with you. This game can be customized to playing for fun, drinks, or some big bucks.

What you’ll need: a deck of cards (maybe two decks if you have more than 9 people playing)

Object of the Game: To score the most points from kickoff to the last play of the game.

Prep work: You’ll need to do a little work before you can play, but it’s worth it. Find a deck of cards that has room to write on each card (or write on paper then tape them to the cards). Then assign each card with a different situation that could happen in the game. This game is totally customizable but we made it for you….

The Pre-Game Ritual

Ah, the pre-game ritual.

Nothing’s more primitive and at the same time more complex than the tradition behind the ritual.

Different players do different things, before, during and after the game has been won and lost.

But, why?

The answer’s not as complex as one may think. It’s simply because it makes the player feel better, boosts their confidence. Over time it progresses from a habit into a full blown ritual that one cannot deviate from or suffer dire consequences.

I started playing the game of football at a very young age, first at the flag level, then the grade school, onto middle school, eventually high school and have received offers from semi-professional teams.

The very first ritual I had sticks with me to this day.

Before every flag football game I would have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich washed down with not milk, but blue PowerAde. Not red. Not yellow. Not green. If it wasn’t blue, it wasn’t happening. I followed that ritual for every single game of my football career, and my wrestling one as well for that matter.

As I grew older, the ritual progressed.

High school was when the rituals really got interesting as I had a plethora of them.

Like my pre-game play list on my iPod. Same songs every single week of a four year football career for the Central Catholic Crusaders. They included:

There is a great game set to kick off in a few hours between the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints making your Saturday night that much more exciting. The Cowboys are huge underdogs and could sure use a distraction like this gorgeous SI model, but I bet you’re too nervous about your fantasy playoff match-up to even notice her. Rule of thumb: don’t over think it, and go with the players that got you here…so stop fretting and check out these great articles.

Zorn’s Headset Not Even Plugged In

jim_Zorn_RedskinsJim Zorn is the NFL’s first male cheerleader for the Washington Redskins.

The NFL does an amazing job capturing every angle with dozens of cameras each and every week. The are different angles on the field to help with replay of amazing big hits, catches, and touchdowns, not to mention the cameras on the sidelines that show us a little cheerleader side-boob as we go to commercial, but when it comes to the coach cam and the Washington Redskins, networks have to be a little creative when showing viewers the decision making on the sidelines.

Jim Zorn, currently the head coach of the Washington Redskins, was brought in as a creative mind to help move the team in the right direction, but after a poor start this season Zorn has been stripped of all play calling duties for the team. After a couple weeks people assumed Zorn would take on more of the smaller details on the sidelines like talking to players, coordinators etc. While rumors are that all 3rd and short situations are his (only) responsibility, the camera says otherwise.

Last week a number a quick sideline shots of Zorn were of him standing around and looking like he was waiting for a bus. Zorn would look down, maybe at his watch, then look along the sidelines as if he was waiting for something….maybe a pink slip? Watching last weeks game against the Eagles was hilarious as his presence, or lack thereof, was as if he was just going through the motions for a paycheck. One can only wonder if his headset was tuned to talk radio or the weather report.

Seeing Jim Zorn swallow his pride standing their like the living dead reminded me of an old Seinfeld episode where George continues to show up for work, refusing to step down, despite everyone hating him.

If it was me, I wouldn’t even try to hide it, I’d have a gameboy, lawn chair, and beer in hand, maybe wearing the opposing teams’ jersey.

This one hit summarized the whole game for the New Orleans Saints. Gridiron Experts went 14-2 with our picks in week 12 and this was one we got wrong…very wrong. The New England Patriots played terrible, while the Saints looked like a team made up of players that were twice the size and strength. Dropped balls, bad tackles and blown coverages across the board for the Brady Bunch, and we a couple injuries to the defensive line including Nose Tackle Vince Wilfork the Pat’s are in hot water again next week against the wildcat Dolphins.

DeSean Jackson ConcussionIs DeSean Jackson Gangsta or Concussed?


What are we to make of this? Fantasy owners and Eagles fans are dying to know the status of 2nd year wide receiver DeSean Jackson’s injury and his twitter page isn’t helping.


If you look at some of his other tweets DeSean talk’s like this all the time…but with a concussion getting inside info from these personal messages is near impossible. Maybe a concussed Jackson would write with perfect grammar?

DeSean Jackson  was injured on a hit after running a short crossing pattern in the third quarter. He didn’t lose consciousness and left the field on his own.

Hey coach, relax, it’s Thanksgiving and we’re up big.
The Denver Broncos went for it on 4th down (and got it) around the Giants 30 yard line for a first down, only to blow a touchdown drive with 3 false start penalties. As you can see, coach Josh McDaniels was a little pissed off.

758Thanksgiving was great but the football was flat, all three games were one sided. Despite many surprised by the poor play from the Giants, we are high-fiving another solid upset. Man, where were these picks 6 weeks ago? We pick the Raiders last week, and start week 12 off 3-0 straight up and against the spread, but really I wouldn’t mind a new LCD with a couple more long shots.

Cutler Needs Glasses
“I wouldn’t say he was trying to force the issue,” 49ers safety Mark Roman said of Cutler. “He was trying to make plays at a time when they needed a play to be made. We knew the ball was going to be in the air and we knew if we would be sound in our coverages we’d have opportunities.” - that’s just a nice way of saying you suck

The Buccaneers won for the first time since Nov. 30, 2008, snapping an 11-game losing streak by beating the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Buccaneers CB Aqib Talib had an interception, and Rodgers was sacked six times in a surprise upset. Every football fan across the country was shocked with the outcome of this game….but we know why the Packers lost.

Who in their right minds can pick up blocks, run passing routes or make tackles when there are girls on the sidelines dressed like this?
