NEW YORK, NY – So far the Memorial Day Weekend is off to a sluggish, damp start here in NYC. For our local fans, that could mean sitting in a beach-side parking lot waiting/hoping for the weather to lift. You’re out there now because NY beaches will only allow 50% capacity. It also means you’re […]
NFL Sports Quiz, Cheesy Bruin’s Free NFL Picks, NFL News
BLOOMINGBURG, NY – Sometimes it’s not that you lose, it’s how you lose. Yeah, some call them “bad beats” and these are the games gamblers remember more than the wins. Case and point, Week #1. I told you folks the under (45) was the play in the #Colts – #Chargers tilt. Things looked good with […]
Big Ben: As QBs Start to Move, New York Giants Weigh Their Options
East Rutherford, NJ – It’s 11 PM and I ain’t got nothin’ done. I don’t want to Karl Malone it in, so I’ll let it fly like Eli Manning and hope for a helmet catch. Speaking of the New York Giants and Eli… Who’s the next QB? In January I threw something together about the 2019 NFL […]
Big Ben: 2019 NFL QB Carousel, Can the Giants Find Their Guy?
NASHVILLE, TN – It’s a funny game. Dozens of ferocious, burly athletes beat the snot out of each other for for three hours. Then a skinny little guy in a spotless uniform – who’s been on the field for maybe 90 seconds the whole day – strolls onto the field and decides the winner. It […]

Big Ben Tuesday: Eli Manning The Dichotomous. Puzzling/Possible Hall of Fame Career
CANTON, OH – In watching the Giants beat the Bears, despite blowing a 10-point lead with under two minutes left, I was made aware of some interesting stats.

Big Ben Whitney: NFL Knee Jerks – ’18 QB Class is Legit, But Mahomes is Legit-er
Buffalo, NY: While the MTM staff debates whether DJ Eberle will go to Buffalo Bills Hell with Fred Smerlas, Scott Norwood, Vontae Davis, and OJ Simpson, or Buffalo Bills Heaven with Andre Reed, Bruce Smith, Don Beebe, and Jim Kelly, it is left to me to bang out some Hot Takes.

Rain Man Rants: Buckeyes Blackeye, RG3’s Return, Hall of Famer T.O., FIFA Solidarity Payments
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – So, I actually got ahead of this assignment and started writing at a decent hour, rather than at 3 AM. It still sucks because it is the dog days of summer and there is not much to talk about. Football season is around the corner, though, and I could talk […]
Cheesy Bruin’s Free Week NFL Picks NOT By Joe Girardi, Plus NFL News
MARLBORO, NY – Okay, so I had my first losing week after boasting about not having one of those through the first three weeks. But nobody really cares after what Joe Girardi did or really didn’t do in Game 2 of the ALDS on Friday night. The Yankees can rebound although my chances of righting […]
