Big Ben’s Super Bowl Recap: Brick Hands Brady Terminated by Pederson’s Mighty Balls
Now that the Super Bowl is over, it’s time to talk about the Knicks. They suck. Now back to football. That game had more plot twists than the episode of This is Us that followed. You know, according to my wife. I didn’t watch it. Anyhoo, let’s try to make some sense of one wild […]
Ebs Hot Takes: New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, NBA All-Star Game, Tim Tebow
CLIFTON PARK, NY – Welp, things couldn’t have gone much worse on Sunday, right? Not only did the New England Patriots advance to yet another Super Bowl, but the one NFC team left that could slow them – the Minnesota Vikings – decided to not show up. Cool. Who wants to see the Patriots lift […]
Ebs’ Hot Takes: NFL Playoffs Edition
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Well, I can definitely say that I didn’t see all of that coming this past weekend. A Championship Weekend featuring Blake Bortles, Nick Foles and Case Keenum.

STAMFORD, CT – I don’t know who told you I forget to write something for today, but it’s a lie. A very stable genius like me would never forget, in spite of a late hockey game and one-year old twins who just would not let me sleep last night. I’m not stalling at all right […]

NEW YORK, NY – That loud hissing sound you’re hearing is all the air being let out of the “Holiday Season” balloon. Hope everyone had a great Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, New Years, whatever. To paraphrase Billy Shakespeare: Now is the winter of our discontent. Here in the Northeast, and particularly in New York, the […]
Big Ben Tuesday: A Wacky NFL Week 17 and Knee Jerk Wildcard Predictions
Buffalo, NY: Happy New Year! Thanks for reading, Mom. May 2018 bring joy to you all, even Mets fans. NFL Week 17 brought a wild finish in the AFC, with four teams finishing 9-7. But the better wildcard games should be in the wide open NFC. Let’s try to make sense of some of the […]
Big Ben Tuesday: Things to do Instead of Watching the Worst Case Super Bowl
ANYWHERE BUT MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Man, I should have found a reason to boycott this NFL season.
