- This was one of the more frustrating games I have watched in a long time. The Eagles offense, minus Brian Westbrook, could not capitalize on the opportunities they were given. The defense provided four turnovers. We had three chances from the 1 to take the lead, and we blew it. David Akers missed 2 [...]

From the Nosebleeds – Why we all should have known Oregon State would beat USC
From the Nosebleeds is a new feature to The Pattison Pundit. Essentially, anytime one of the Pundit’s buddies, or anyone else decides that they have something they need to get off of their chest about the sports world, this will be their forum. I’ll edit the post and add my own take, but the floor [...]

The push to the MLB playoffs: the tale of one city, and the fail of another
I. Philadelphia
Watching the Phillies tonight, I observed in myself a strange phenomenon. (Editor’s note: He wasn’t wearing any pants). I wasn’t concerned. I wasn’t flipping my shit that they were losing 10-4. It wasn’t bothering me that they were about to drop two against the Braves and lose the series. I was watching the entire [...]

Monday Night Football Liveblogging
8:32 PM – First edition of the Monday Night Football liveblogging. This game is intriguing for three reasons: I didn’t expect the Chargers to start 0-2, Brett Favre is playing, and the game has huge fantasy implications for me. I have a 25 point lead, and LT is on my team. My opponent has Favre, [...]

The Week in Review (9/15/08 – 9/21/08)
No-Show/s of the Week
So, he’s been the ace for the second-half of the season. That makes this harder. But Brett Myers, you can’t give up 10 runs in 4 innings of work against the Marlins. I know, the Marlins have been hot, and you were due to get hit hard one of these games, but [...]

D-FENCE! Quick hits from the Eagles game
- McNabb started like a man on fire, completing his first 15 passes. Granted, a lot of them were dinks and dunks to the backs in the flat, but that was what the Steelers’ D was giving them, and they were moving the ball. He didn’t look the same after the injury, however, which could [...]

The Pundit List presents – Essential Drinking Games
So, its time to bring back The Pundit List. The first edition was all about picnic games – now, it’s on to something I hold even dearer to my heart (Editor’s note: And liver). That, of course, is drinking games. Thus, in the spirit of the upcoming weekend, and with college students everywhere back in [...]

The Pundit senses a Phillies postseason run – here’s why…
I don’t know about you, but I just have the feeling that the Phillies are headed to the postseason. Normally, I don’t tend toward such blatant optimism, but this team has “the look.” Here are the reasons I think they’ll make the playoffs.
Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins have been smoking hot this September. If Jimmy [...]

Most Valuable Power? The Pundit makes the MVP case for Ryan Howard
Ladies and gentlemen of the Court of Public Opinion, today I would like to talk to you about a man I think you should name the MVP: A Mr. Ryan Howard. Something happens to Mr. Howard in September: he literally becomes a Tower of Power (Editor’s note: Oh brother). But has his latest surge, including [...]

DeSean Jackson: What have you done?
Oh, DeSean Jackson, such pain have you caused so many. And by so many, I mean fantasy football players. Heck, you stole points from me, as I had Donovan McNabb starting. Of course, being the ever shrewd Pundit that I am, I still won this week. (Editor’s note: By a whopping 5 points). But others [...]
