Chuck Powell: Tebowmania meets monotony

Jun 12, 2013, 12:56 AM | Updated: Jun 24, 2013, 8:55 pm

What happens when mania meets monotony?

When Tim Tebow was signed by the New England Patriots on Monday it led to “Tebowmainia” in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

The press and the likes were met with the ever stoic Bill Belichick, who didn’t give into the pressure of the hype and answered all Tebow questions without moving his mouth.

OK, maybe he moved it a little.

It seems like Belichick refuses to go down the same road as the New York Jets and praise Tim Tebow before he’s even practiced a full week wit the team.

College football just can’t get it right

What’s wrong with college football executives? Why do they always get it wrong? The word college is synonymous with higher learning. And the people in positions of power at universities are supremely educated. They possess extreme intelligence. And yet, time and again they prove they couldn’t tell Coke from Pepto-Bismol in a blind taste test. […]

Game plan for Arizona Cardinals vs. Seattle? Get boring

You want to beat the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night? Bore them to death. I realize that Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians loves the deep passing game, putting in wrinkles like Patrick Peterson at wideout and having an overall aggressive approach offensively, but he needs to quit on all that this week. It’s time to […]

Ellington may be boost Cards’ offense needs

It’s not always greedy to ask for more. Sometimes it’s simply the right thing to do. Oliver Twist asked for more gruel and touched off a meaningful rebellion. Bruce Dickinson asked for more cowbell and the Blue Oyster Cult soared into stardom. So, don’t be ashamed, Cardinals fans, to ask for more Andre Ellington. It […]

49ers’ reliance on Frank Gore may have turned their season around

It’s nearly Halloween. And what’s Halloween without a little Gore? Apparently, San Francisco got the message after their ghoulish performances against Seattle and Indianapolis. The reigning NFC Champs were outscored 56-10 in back-to-back games in September. The offensive output was pathetic enough for veteran running back Frank Gore to raise his hand and say, “hey, […]

Are the Arizona Diamondbacks really interested in David Price?

David Price is preparing himself for the inevitable. He’s getting traded. The low-budget Tampa Bay Rays can’t afford to keep the star pitcher once he becomes a free agent. So, despite Price’s love affair with the team that drafted him number one overall in 2005, he has his bags packed and set by the door. […]

Why part with Charles Nagy AND Ian Kennedy?

I’m not surprised by Tuesday’s announcement that Charles Nagy has been fired as the Diamondbacks’ pitching coach. Coaches come and coaches go, and the staffs of teams that finish .500 and blow nine game leads are rarely extended the luxury of returning in tact. However, what I do find curious is why Ian Kennedy was […]
