The Voodoo Team’s Superbowl Preview

Tweet   Sometimes believing you can do something great is more powerful than actually being great. I think that’s where we are with these Giants. Tony Robbins must have been hired to talk to them after they dropped that home game to the Redskins in Week 15. You talk about an across-the-board average team just

Championship Weekend: Team Voodoo’s Breakdown

Tweet   Here we are, one set of games away from the Superbowl. What I love the most about Championship Weekend is looking at the possible plot-lines for each potential matchup.

Tweet     We were on our game last week. 3 out of the 4 contributors picked Denver outright to beat the Steelers in the upset, and yours truly (Voodoo) actually predicted it would happen in OT. CJ was a perfect 4-0. What does this week have in store for us? These matchups all seem

Wild Card Weekend: Team Voodoo’s Playoff Preview

Tweet   Over the past decade, I have had a personal interest in almost every NFL playoff season. Why? The Eagles. My wonderful, never-break-your-heart Philadelphia friggin Eagles… always making noise and qualifying for “The Tournament” as Bill Parcells likes to call it (sidenote: ESPN dropped about 3 Parcellisms during their playoff preview tonight before the

Week 17 NFL Notes & Musings, the Life of Darren

NFL Week 17 Bottom Line Bombs

Tweet     A lot of websites and media outlets like to waste this week with their tired year in review pieces. It is an easy way to coast through the last week of the year by rummaging up old stories and assigning an arbitrary rank to its importance. It also gives their article a

Tweet     Darren D has mathematically locked up this year’s Office Pool Challenge after last week’s stellar 14-2 record. Congratulations Darren! Right behind Darren was Mike P with a 12-4 record, followed by Voodoo & Mr. K at 11-5. CJ limped behind with a 9-7 record, so it looks like it’s a race for

Week 16 NFL Notes & Musings

Tweet   Yeah, yeah, it’s Thursday.  I know, I know, I’m late. I took a much needed relaxation day on Monday, followed by two straight days of baby room work. My wife had a full list of honey-do’s, basically ensuring I wouldn’t get to enjoy much of my time off during the holidays. I had
