Pigskins Nuggets 2015 NFL Preview: No 30 Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears were like a McMahon family dinner in December of last season, losing their final five games and failing to score even 18 points in all but one of them. Jay Cutler, the twenty million dollar man, was benched for Jimmy Clausen and Marc Trestman was lamer than a lame duck, he was a lame duckling. Everything unraveled for a team that, with the talent they boasted on paper, should not have been being embarrassed the way they were. So what does 2015 hold for a team that quit on their head coach and may have the most overrated and overpaid starting quarterback in the history of the league? That is why the Nugget Blog is here, my friends. DUN-DUN.

Pigskin Nuggets 2015 NFL Preview: No 31 Washington Redskins

Washington, only a few seasons removed from an exciting playoff run and a window to a promising future, is now in the middle of an identity crisis. They don't know what to do at quarterback, their head coach might be a tragic disappointment behind a name, and their defense might just be coming off one of the worst team defensive seasons in history. The Redskins need a game plan under center before they can ever move forward.

Pigskin Nuggets 2015 NFL Preview: No 32 Tennessee Titans

In Mariota we trust. Like, a lot. The Titans passed up multiple trade offers, reportedly, in order to get the quarterback of their future. Unfortunately, having a good, young quarterback isn't the only success factor for a winning team. Do the Titans have enough talent around Mariota to compete in a relatively weak AFC South?

Mad Men End of an Era Ep 1: Do I Know You?

When we last left Mad Men, Don was at rock bottom number seven or eight hundred, Roger was being a leader (or just trying to keep everything in life together for once), Joan was greedy, Pete was selfish, Peggy didn't blow Burger Chef, and we landed on the moon. Oh, and Bert Cooper died. But Don didn't get fired! ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR!

Letting the Air Out of Seattle

At the end of the day, regardless of our opinion on anything, the 2014 New England Patriots won Super Bowl XLIX and Tom Brady/Bill Belichik cemented themselves in the history of the league. What DeflateGate means on that legacy, whether or not Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time, Pete Carroll's blown call and where this Super Bowl ranks for me are all answered here! I also have an opinion on The Bachelor, just a head's up.

The 2014-15 NBA Preview

The NBA is back, ladies and gents. I'm about as amped as that twelve year-old on The Voice was when he met Taylor Swift. My 76ers might suck, but as I have said before, the NBA is the best and most entertaining overall league to enjoy as a fan. This year, I'm doing rankings based on who the contenders are all the way down to the the, well, 76ers. But, I'm going to do it based on Halloween movies, because, why not.
