On Saturday night, I met up with Jacobs and Hoffman, two contributors to the site, at Fox and Hound to catch the Penn State game. I was fairly surprised by what I saw when I arrived – Penn State was trailing Michigan 17-7 at the 12 minute mark of the second quarter.

From the Nosebleeds: The Big 12 ain’t got jack on Penn State
Ryan Jacobs
I was very impressed with Penn State’s performance in Madison this past Saturday night; it was the kind of victory that is solidifying PSU as one of the best all-around teams in the country. Daryll Clark has been the most impressive player during this team’s rise to 2008 football glory. Against Wisconsin, Clark proved [...]

There is something in the air – The Phillies are headed to the World Series
Oh, what a fantastic night it was. The Phillies handled their business one last time against the Dodgers, and are awaiting the winner of the Red Sox / Rays series. Truth is, I can’t give a full recount of the game, but what I can do is give a complete recount of the awesome evening [...]

A game 4 for the ages
There isn’t much I can say to really do last night justice: it was tormenting, it was exhilarating, it was exhausting, and it most certainly was frickin’ awesome. Here are some of my notes from the game that certainly will always be remembered by Phillies’ fans:
- Somebody needs to take Manny Ramirez out (Editor’s note: [...]

Quick hits from the Eagles and Phillies
Eagles
- Juqua Parker, you are the man! Defensive player of the week, if you ask this Pundit. Obviously, the late interception and return for a touchdown sealed the game, but Parker also had a big sack and made an excellent play on a reverse that set the Niners back and forced a third and 18. [...]

The Pundit isn’t afraid anymore – talking about the Phillies’ chances
There are moments in life that perhaps on their surface seem innocent enough, but in actuality hold much deeper truths about the nature of things. Now, I don’t want to get into a philosophical conversation about what these things are, or even what they reveal, but I will mention one man who’s actions have started [...]

Obsessing over games – The Pundit explores our love of sports
Since beginning this site, I have been paying very close attention to the sporting world, almost everyday. Even as I’ve relaxed my writing frequency over the past few weeks, I still keep myself aware of what is going on. Constantly immersed in sports, I have found myself asking a question that, in my lifetime, had [...]

A day of contrasts – some thoughts about the Eagles and Phillies on Sunday
Sunday was a strange day, full of angst and bliss. The Eagles and Phillies started and stopped at almost the precise same moment, and the results were completely contrasted. Was Sunday indicative of two franchises headed in opposite directions? Or just a truly strange day? (Editor’s note: He never actually addresses these questions in the [...]

There was something in the air – covering the angles of the Phillies win
(Editor’s note: The Pundit is back from his unexplained and lengthy hiatus. He offered absolutely no explanation for his lack of material. I offer sincere apologies to the 10-15 people who actually read his work.)
After last night’s win, I know that one moment will be discussed and praised more than any other from the Phils [...]
