It was in the middle of January in 2002 when I first walked into the Tae Kwon Do studio in my hometown. Inside that studio, I met my first true athletic rival when I was 12-years-old. His name was Corey. Corey and I had an interesting relationship. We didn’t hate [...]

Before we start…well, technically the article has started, but I just thought it’d be cool to write that. Anyway, I want to make it known that the person who has had the most influence on me in this living world is my father. My father and I exchange barbs now [...]

The start of the 2012 NFL Free Agency frenzy (4:00pm EST) kicked off with a bang in a blockbuster trade as just moments after the period began Brandon Marshall was shipped from Miami to Chicago to reunite with quarterback Jay Cutler. The Miami Dolphins have officially traded Marshall to the [...]

Define irony: A wide receiver that runs slower than his own quarterback. I think that qualifies. Baylor Bears star signal-caller Robert Griffin III was faster than his own receiver Kendall Wright at the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine in the 40-yard dash on Sunday morning. The current Heisman Trophy winner posted unofficial times of 4.38 and [...]

Ordinarily, I don’t conduct an article when I’m irked.  However, I’m making an exception here on behalf of one of the most established sportswriters alive—Sports Illustrated NFL Senior Writer Peter King, a household favorite of many on the staff here at GridironGrit.com.

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys put on a clinic last Sunday in Week 10, thrashing the Buffalo Bills 44-7 in Cowboys Stadium. Who was bowled over by the completely asymmetrical affair? WhatIfSports.com predicted the Cowboys to lose 22-21.  FOXSports Pick’em had given Buffalo a 60-40 edge over Dallas. It’s [...]

Some teams live by the kicker.  Others die by the kicker.  In a high-stakes marquee matchup between Mountain West heavyweights TCU and Boise State, it happened. BCS chaos—but it wasn’t the pandemonium the BCS bustin’ Broncos were on their hands and knees hoping for.  Rather, it was another heart-wrenching defeat [...]

  Awful. Pathetic. Disgusting. Embarrassing. May be the worst team I have ever seen on live television. I think that is the best or, at least, the most honest way I can describe the Indianapolis Colts right now. I’m serious when I say that my stomach churns when I think [...]

Dick Stockton said as the game ended that the win over the St. Louis Rams was exactly what the doctor ordered for the Dallas Cowboys. I couldn’t have put it better myself. Never before have I, as a fan or a writer, been as depressed as I have been watching [...]
