My feed is full of Cam Skattebo pancake blocks today lol. I know the league doesn’t really have full backs anymore, but this is some serious Mike Alstott energy.

Cam Skattebo is a psycho 😭😭The definition of a football guy.

So, initially I thought the ending to the Iron Bowl was pretty climatic considering how wild that game was. Turns out that 4th down play was designed to trick Alabama.

Had to go and re-confirm it for my own eyes how well this was done by Malzahn for @AuburnFootball at the end of the #IronBowl
He messed with Saban as he puts “2 different personnel’s on the field” Bama played D & has Waddle back as PR. @finebaum @PeterBurnsESPN @Auburn247

Important question: Does a 12-1 Alabama team with a home loss to Citadel make the playoffs?

I wish they'd bring back the crystal ball. There's nothing interesting about the #NationalChampionship trophy.

Pretty wild that three NFC South teams are going to the playoffs.

Dec 2017

Someone at the @nfl needs to explain the officiating in this #ATLvsNO game.

This game has some of the worst officiating I've seen. #ATLvsNO

I love football, but it's obvious that a lot of things need to change—Aaron Hernandez Found to Have Severe CTE buff.ly

Feb 2017

Well, it's satisfying to see how much of my Twitter feed hates the Patriots. That's a surprise.

Jan 2017

Packers running their two minute offense with 2 minutes left in the third quarter.

The only reason people buy Sling is for NFL RedZone. Nobody misses daytime TV. Check their subscribers in a month. buff.ly

Dec 2016

Well that was a hell of a start to the SEC championship.

Nov 2016

There probably isn't a state with more different fan bases than Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

Wow, LSU had the ball on the one-yard line four times and came away with three points.

Oh man daylight savings time got me. I've been sitting on the couch for the last 15 minutes wondering why RedZone hasn't started.

Oct 2016

What a screw up by the Jets. That's bad special teams 101.

Remind me again why the Panthers released their best players?

It's hilarious that arena football has the Geico 15% zone.

Jan 2016

Well, I was hoping this #SEAvsCAR game was going to be a bit more interesting.

Terrible for the game to come down to a missed chip shot. The Vikings had that won. #SEAvsMIN

Nov 2015

I would love for Les Miles to go to UGA and Richt to go to LSU.

What a lame ending to the USC Clemson game. A reversed ball spot, really?

What are the eagles doing? You'd think after two touchdowns, you wouldn't leave Calvin Johnson 1-on-1.

Jags solidly in 1st place for the worst uniforms of all time.

Oct 2015

Bahahaha, I just heard someone refer to Danny Woodhead as a Pokemon-sized Marshall Faulk.

That was probably the most perfect blocked punt I've seen.

Sep 2015

It would be so awesome if penalties incurred during the touch down were added to the extra point. I want to see 48-yard extra points.

Looks like Luke McCown's wishes from the Verizon backup generator commercial have come true. Drew Brees is out.

This Missouri, UConn game has been surprisingly entertaining.

Curious how many people are buying Red Zone just to escape the DraftKings and FanDuel commercials.

On another note, the text messages by Tom Brady's equipment managers are just as good as I hoped they'd be.

Feb 2015

Great ending to the football season. Eight months until it starts again.

Dec 2014

Whoa, honeycombs on Georgia Tech's helmets are awesome.

Do does the playoff trophy replace the crystal ball? If so that's unfortunate. It's a terrible looking one.

Nov 2014

The UGA v GT game has been nuts. Feels like an Auburn game.

Here's the thing—Arkansas is probably the best team with the worst record. Nearly every loss they've had was a toss-up. #olemissvsarkansas

Amari Cooper is just an incredible athlete. #AlabamaVSMissState

Oct 2014

Who decided that all these SEC Network commercials need to use "Furnished?"

Well, the Egg Bowl is going to be interesting this year.

Ole Miss' defensive line is man handling Alabama's offensive line—and with a three-man front.

Aug 2014

And for the first time in months, the TV is on for the start of Football season!

Feb 2014

Unfortunately, this game is going exactly as expected.

Jan 2014

Picked Seahawks and Broncos for the Super Bowl at the beginning of the season. First time that has happened.

I was waiting for Marshawn Lynch to go into beast mode.

What a play by Aldon Smith. I fully expect this game to live up to the hype.

When football season is over, I won't miss commercials.

Nov 2013

The pitch counter play that St. Louis ran today was awesome.

Wow, Riley Cooper putting up 32 points, and the 4th quarter hasn't started yet—139 yards and 3 TD,

Oct 2013

Sep 2013

I'll say it, the penalty for the targeting rule is ridiculous—ejection from the game is overkill.

Sep 2012

Wow, and I thought the finish to last nights game was crazy.

David Akers is killing my fantasy team. Unbelievable 63 yard field goal.

Wow, Louisiana Monroe knocks off (8)Arkansas in overtime.

Apr 2012

Anybody want to get together for the NFL draft tonight?

Nov 2011

Today is the most important day in the state of Alabama. #WarEagle

Great catch by Torry Smith. Another great Ravens v Steelers game.

Oct 2011

@EANFLBlitz Why limit the #NFLBlitz playbooks to only 9 plays? The biggest improvement in 20-01 & 20-02 was the expanded playbooks.

Jun 2011

@fastcompany I know I am late to the punch but how are you going to put chip kelly at 30 and not mention gus malzahn? #100mcp

Oct 2010

The #BCS should move to a 3 game playoff system. That is the only way to see if #Boise & #TCU can play with #SEC and #Big10 teams
