So, I’ve decided that I really don’t feel like previewing every team in the NFL. Fact is, I can’t properly do it justice like a team’s beat reporters or local bloggers do. Plus, NFL.com has got a pretty solid feel for what’s going on in each city, so you could always check them out. Fear [...]

The Week in Review
No Show of the Week
The last time I saw Pat Burrell, he was on the back of a milk carton. Here’s what he has done for us this week: 4-32 (.125 BA) with one walk, 1 RBI and 8 K’s. Not exactly the type of production you want from the guy batting third in your [...]

This guy’s an asshole
So, doing research for the Baltimore Ravens during my NFL preview, I came across this from Peter Schmuck (Editor’s note: Yup, that’s his real name) of the Baltimore Sun. I’m not going to link this, because I don’t want to give him any sort of statistical bump (Editor’s note: I can see the Baltimore Sun [...]

NFL Preview Part Two: AFC South
Houston Texans
Strengths: Very solid passing attack, with Matt Schaub distributing to stud Andre Johnson and reliable options Kevin Walter, TE Owen Daniels and Andre’ Davis. At this point in there careers, is anybody going to argue that the Texans should have drafted Reggie Bush over Mario Williams and his 14 sacks last year? MLB DeMeco [...]

Waking with the Pundit
Required Reading
The Pundit thought the dramatic comeback win over the Mets on Tuesday was going to be the game that kicked the Phillies into high gear. Instead, it has apparently been the game that fried the Phillies bullpen. Two straight games with big 8th innings for the other squad, including last night’s grand slam. (Editor’s [...]

NFL Preview Part One: The AFC West
For the next 8 days, I’ll be doing an overview of each team, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, question marks and their fantasy outlook. On day 9, I’ll offer a full prediction for the upcoming season, including each team’s record, playoff predictions and the Superbowl champ.
Denver Broncos
Strengths: Their offense should produce, though not having Brandon Marshall [...]

Waking with the Pundit
Required Reading
Phillies squander the lead, the game, first place and momentum from game 1, lose to Mets.
If James Beale is accurate in his assessment, this is some seriously bad news for the Phillies bullpen.
Your daily Eagles fix focuses on one of the season’s major question marks – the linebacker trio. And how they read real [...]

The Rally Cap
So, with The Official 2008 Rally Post already written (Editor’s note: God, I am getting sick of those words), I thought it might be fun to do a quick background post on the rally cap. (Editor’s note: Number two is correct, and number three is hysterical).
Here is the “official” history of the rally cap from [...]

Waking with the Pundit
Quick note, then on to the links. Be sure to check out the post below this one; what was intended to be a Penn State football preview became The Official 2008 Rally Post. Wait, what? Well, I started writing the post in the 4th inning, when the Phillies scored their first run in a game [...]

Previewing Penn State…and The Official 2008 Rally Post
(Editor’s note: The Pundit started writing this post at approximately the same time as the Phillies scored their first run in the 4th inning of their game against the Mets. Why is this being mentioned in a preview for Penn State football? Read on, Punditeers.)
With my NFL preview starting on Thursday night, I realized I [...]
