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 [...]

Two retirements, two comebacks and two teams later, Brett Favre is in the same position he was in two years ago.
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.

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 [...]

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. [...]

I sat at work as I received an IM from my roommate with a link to the twitter account of Cleveland Brown player Josh Cribbs. This is a normal instance as my roommate is quite the internet scavenger and I assumed this was just a link to some absurd post that Cribbs had posted [...]

Something happened Sunday that no one seems to care about. On Sunday Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans became only the 6th running back in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season and also broke Marshall Faulk’s record for most yards from scrimmage in a season with 2,509. When [...]

Let me preface this post by explaining how much I dislike the Patriots.  I would rather read about he and Giselle in my US Weekly than watch Tom Brady play football.  And Randy Moss? Shave your beard, shut your mouth and catch the ball.  In general, as a Jersey Girl transplanted to New England, the [...]

Wipe that stupid grin off your face. The serious knee injury suffered by New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker in the meaningless season finale doesn’t justify what your Indianapolis Colts did during the previous week. As team president you encouraged resting healthy players and throwing away a shot at a the immortality of a [...]
