Capt. Gridiron

August 28, 2012 – Captain Gridiron We’re all about the new Madden 13. In addition to raising the bar for all sports games, it is set to revolutionize the way you bust on your boys’ weak moves. Case in point, we gave a copy of Madden 13 to rappers 2 Chainz and Pusha T, and [...]

May 10, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron Believe it or not, but Terrell Owens is still playing football. Not NFL football, mind you. But some little Arena League team in which Owens has pinned hopes on a comeback that will end with a big NFL contract. But it seems no one is listening to the guy [...]

May 6, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron In one of the classiest moves I have seen in years in the sports world, Tampa Bay signed Rutgers injured player Eric LeGrand after the draft in a nice move by LeGrand’s former college coach.  Even though it’s a symbolic contract it’s a classy move and LeGrand looks good [...]

April 26, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron We ask each year, and each year we are left wondering what happened. Can the player elected to grace the cover of the Madden video game from EA Sports shake the Madden Curse? The players who get on the cover have a hard time getting through the year. Some [...]

April 21, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron Oh, the mid-80′s were such a simpler time. The NFL was coming into its own as the popularity of the sport and the Super Bowl reached record numbers. Uniforms were loose and tacky without much thought to style or functionality. The rival USFL had lost its way and the [...]

April 18, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron This post started out as the Ten Worst Things Than The Pittsburgh Steelers New Throwback Uniforms but I couldn’t get past three things. There are prison uniforms, giant killer bees, and the World’s Ugliest Dog. After that,…not much. The Steelers are celebrating their 4th Anniversary of Ben Roethlisberger not raping [...]

April 15, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron The worldwide impact of the sport of football lives strong in South Asia. Last fall the announcement came of the establishment of the Elite Football League of India (EFLI), which is the first men’s professional American football league in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It’s nice to see the [...]

April 12, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron Adam Schefter of ESPN is easily the hardest working chap at the network and his dedication to breaking the news of the NFL is second to none. In fact, his dedication to using Twitter to break news is one of the reasons I believe that Twitter is so popular.  [...]

April 9, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron Football may be over with at the moment but one star is still shining on Sundays. Tebow arrived in Texas to help out the Easter Service for Georgetown’s Celebration Church where an estimated 20,000-30,000 fans attended a rock-concert type of event where Tebus sat down and chatted up his [...]

April 7, 2012 – Capt. Gridiron It’s somewhat fitting that the UFL, long thought to be dead, would give fruit to rumors of a return just in time for Easter weekend. The United Football League, which lost a reported $120 million in its first three years, was designed as an alternative to the NFL with [...]
