It’s that time of year again! Stock up on beer and make your excuses for Monday morning, Superbowl weekend is upon us so we examine both teams, make our picks and look at some of the most exciting head-to-head matchups. Plus – Jay Soderberg joins us for a chat, #GoodellOut,...

Super Bowl XLIX – Preview & Prediction

With their mind-numbingly improbable victory last week, Seattle put themselves in a position of great rarity. Indeed, since the Super Bowl Era began in 1967, on only 8 occasions has a team successfully defended their crown, the last of which was, of course, the Seahawks’ adversaries this Sunday, the New...

The Tailgate Knight’s Superbowl Tailgate Snacks

As we get all excited about the Superbowl, a lot of attention is given to the game itself, what to expect and who will win. Being the biggest game, there is so much more to it, such as food and drink to get us through the wee hours of the...

Two Gingers Make a Right

It’s our official, live draft for the 2015 Gridiron Gentlemen Probowl! Featuring all the usual things a real draft does – controversy over balls, perving over necks and beards, mums, party buses and JJ Watt throwing touchdown passes.

AFC & NFC Championship Match ups that matter

I did this last week & it was a lot of fun. So the goal once again this week is to look into the players that aren’t making the headlines. There are 2 specific rules: No Quarterbacks & no using the word “X-Factor”. Let’s get into it.

Ray Lewis wants some attention

It’s only bloody Conference Championship time! This weekend four become two, and we look through all the possibilities for Superbowl XLIX. Also – when is a catch not a catch? What’s with all these ineligible receivers? How much pizazz can Manning generate? Who’s your dream one-season-wonder QB? And just who...

The Head Coach Search 2015

This post has been my Apocalypse now. As I write this at 22:45 I’m on my 3rd re-write. What’s frustrating is there is already a fair few posts on the same thing, so what I hope in this is to add some personal perspective. Anyway despite this potential minefield let’s...
