The Falcons cannot stop all of the 49ers playmakers. Look for Crabtree to play big for Kaepernick with VD doubled. The divisional round was anything but kind to the V-Damus. The Patriots were my only pick that advanced to the conference championship round dropping my record to a mediocre 4-4 in playoff picks. The Broncos failed, the Packers got run over and my darkhorse spech, the Seattle Seahawks, couldn’t quite pull off the...

Ray Lewis and his Ravens teammates plan to crash the retirement party Boston is having in his honor on Sunday. You’ve heard of folks supplying bulletin board material for the opposition before a big game? Well, how about billboard material? The folks at Clear Channel Outdoor in Boston have a billboard that is counting down the day, hours and minutes towards Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and...

Moreno is psyched about his first-ever playoff start for Broncos. He’ll need to run like one to get to AFC title game. Last week, Vinstradamus went 3-1 picking the wild-card games with the Cincinnati Bengals being the only oddballs obviously not ready for NFL postseason primetime. Usually not one to pat myself on the back, I must say I nailed my rookie QB prediction (Mr. Wilson proved to be the lone young gun to advance) and was just...

After the Seattle Seahawks knocked off the New England Patriots in a wild come-from-behind 24-23 victory at CenturyLink Field, second-year corner RICHARD SHERMAN made sure he let Pats QB TOM BRADY know about it. “I kept saying I’m going to get that (interception) next time,” Sherman said, via The Tacoma News Tribune. “Every TV timeout, I went up and said it right to (Brady): ‘Please keep trying me. I’m...

Terrible tongue Tom: Brady’s leadership with the Patriots includes getting down right gangsta when he has to. Not for nothing, but the New England Patriots have primarily been who they are over the years—huge winners in the NFL—because of one man: TOM BRADY. The Pats QB simply will not let his team slip into mediocrity. On Sunday after trailing the Buffalo Bills 21-7 in Orchard Park, Brady led the Patriots on six...

Ochocinco’s days as a New England Patriot are over but his future as a pop culture icon may be very rewarding. On Thursday, CHAD OCHOCINCO was cut by the New England Patriots after one uneventful year with the team. Labeling himself UNEMPLOYED BLACK GUY on his Twitter account, a disappointed but never bitter Ochocinco thanked the Patriots and their fans for the experience… Ochocinco then packed up his polka dot Felix the Cat...

I’m certain Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones have an active MIB file open on Chad Ochocinco. CHAD OCHOCINCO’S Memorial Day Weekend got off to a ishy start when his car was broken into on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Ochocinco left his wallet in the vehicle. But it wasn’t his stolen cash, credit cards or driver’s license that had Chad next to tears. It was his stolen Starbucks gold card… A freakin’...

OCNN: Fully equipped, Chad Ochocinco sets out on another picture-taking adventure on South Beach. Apparently CHAD OCHOCINCO has a penchant for taking pictures. Mostly of himself, of course. Lately, the Patriots wideout has been on a picture-taking binge down in his native Miami, Florida just looking for interesting subjects to shoot… Chad got in a...

Evelyn and Chad partied in Miami at the Arkadia in South Beach last week. There’s definitely a love jones here. Do you really think CHAD OCHOCINCO spends his days wallowing over being a non-f#%king factor in his one and only Super Bowl appearance? Not with the lovely and vivacious EVELYN LOZADA in his stead. The New England Patriots wideout and VH-1 cast member on Basketball Wives are engaged to be married this year...

It’s Super-Tat Sunday as the Giants’ Devin Thomas battles New England’s Bret Lockett for tattoo supremacy. SSC pays homage to Super Bowl Sunday with the return of our Sunday’s Best series featuring a Super Bowl tattoo free-for-all between New England Patriots safety BRET LOCKETT and New York Giants receiver DEVIN THOMAS! Although both players will be battling for a ring in the big game today (Thomas is activated to...
