Big Ben Friday Special: What to Make of Fast/Slow NFL Starts
Hello? Fine, I’ll do it. After three weeks of football, the picture is getting a little clearer. But it’s not that clear. Some teams have benefited from an easy schedule and might not be legit. And some of the slow starters can still get back in it. I’m here to help separate the weeds from […]

NOTE: Management realizes this is MLB Playoffs time, but Cheesy Bruin is now a Mets fan, so baseball season is apparently over for him. MARLBORO, NY – I’m in a crappy mood. Why? My back is acting up – as spinal stenosis will do that to ya – and my Cheesy Bruin’s Free NFL Picks […]
Big Ben Whitney: Rocky IV, Yankees Make a Push, Year the Pats Unraveled
MOSCOW, USSR – It’s been over 32 years since Rocky Balboa avenged his friend and formal rival and turned the tide of the Cold War on Christmas Day in 1985. Much to Rock’s chagrin, tensions with Russia have returned. (Do you smell a corny, contrived device coming yet?) In the spirit of that legendary night, […]
Big Ben Freaky Tuesday: Josh McCown, Tom Brady Swap Swap Careers
Stamford, CT: The QB firedrill is about to kick into high gear, with free agency set to begin on Wednesday.

Big Ben’s Sports Oscars: Kobe Bryant Won an Oscar, But These Teams Got Snubbed
HOLLYWOOD, CA – Scrolling through Twitter late Sunday night I called out to my wife, “Kobe Bryant won an Oscar and Larry Bird got snubbed?” “No,” dumbass, “Lady Bird got snubbed. But Kobe did win an Oscar.” Well, I didn’t see that coming, and it wasn’t great timing for the #MeToo movement. But hey, in […]
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 […]
Big Ben’s Worst Super Bowl Match-up Ever Preview: Getting in Brady’s Head, What’s a Giants Fan To Do? Go Pats?!
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – I am trying to find something to care about in the Worst Super Bowl Match-up Ever.

This is a guy who does not use the “probable” designation or give more than a […]
Big Ben’s Wildcard Ramblings: Saints and Giants Trading Places, Belichick Losing it, Andy Reid Chokes Again
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 […]
Big Ben Tuesday – One Giant Display of Crap, Surprise Contenders in the NFC
Stamford, CT: At this point in the football season I expected to be breaking down the New York Giants pushing for the playoffs. Yeah, no. Man, what a train wreck. Then again, “train wreck” is not a big enough disaster to describe this bunch. Unless you like watching players quit, Sunday was another pathetic display. And […]
