BackupQuarterback

Unlike the Tonys and Emmys, BackupQuarterback could not get Neil Patrick Harris to host its First Annual Super Bowl Awards presentation.
Too bad.
He could have discussed one of the most widely watched Super Bowls of all-time and a football game that will be remembered as legen….wait for it….dary!
MVP/MVC:
Drew Brees’ 32-for-39 passing performance, during which he tied [...]

San Diego Charger running back LaDainian Tomlinson again upset more Charger fans than when Norv Turner was given an extension.  During a segment on San Diego radio station 1090, Tomlinson said that he “would not take a pay cut under any circumstances.”
Tomlinson is due a $2 million bonus in March, but I doubt at this [...]

On Sunday we might not just be watching Super Bowl XLIV, but we might just be watching a player make a case for the greatest to ever lace up the cleats.
Peyton Manning will be attempting to grab his second title and in the process put him one step closer to having his name thrown around [...]

He is the quarterback who threw an interception on his team’s final offensive play in a NFC championship game loss – and maybe on the final pass of his Hall of Fame career.

Do you know what “請讓我坐在你的長凳上，徵收一筆薪水” means in Chinese?
According to freetranslation.com, it means “Please let me sit on your bench and collect a paycheck” – a quote that we would have heard from Stephon Marbury if he took a even small dose of truth serum after signing a contract to play a professional basketball team in [...]

I might be the only person in America that believes this but…Norv Turner deserved that extension.
Now I am not saying that Norv Turner is some god of coaching or he would be the person I would want to coach my team, but look at the stats for a moment.
Under his direction the Chargers are 32-16 [...]

After many, many years of complaining to my peers about how dumb the NBA all-star voting is (to which most reply, “you still watch the NBA”),  Celtics guard and 9 time all-star, Ray Allen has come out and said it himself.  “I like the fact that the fans get the opportunity to vote and pick [...]

Now every Jets fan is probably hating that everyone is writing about them and how they are stunning teams because we all know, you hate to be the favorite. The Jets against the world mentality is something all Jets fans would love to continue through the playoffs as they usually face it every year. [...]

The devastation of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haitian capital Port-au-Prince and the surrounding area is nothing short of overwhelming. Like many of us, I’ve spent the last few days watching news reports and feeling at a loss by what I saw. The images are heartbreaking and catastrophic. In the wake [...]
