    The Super Bowl may have been a nail biter, but the ads were a snooze.

    Second year in a row, Big Al goes to SB

    Covering a Super Bowl isn't always as much fun as it may appear as Big Al discovered in Atlanta where he encountered a tobacco-chewing hotel maid with no towels, no media passes, and a broken camera only hours before the big game!

      Being from New York, Big Al makes no apologies for his love for the Yankees, Giants and Rangers. But you may be surprised to hear, the big man actually rooted for the Dallas Cowboys in the early '90s!

      Big Al says BCS must go

      Four voters in the AP poll gave OSU a first place vote. And they were not homer pickers. One vote from Los Angeles, one from Boston, another from Ohio, and finally a vote from SEC country, Georgia.

    4. Big Al picks NFL Playoff Week 1 winners

      Big Al picks NFL Playoff Week 1 winners

      Which teams were the big winners in 2011? Obviously the 12 teams that made the playoffs, and the Colts for only winning 2 games and clinching the Andrew Luck sweepstakes as the number one pick. Still wondering though what the Colts will do since they just fired the GM and his assistant. Detroit in the playoffs for the first time in a long time, San Francisco completing turning the season around with the coaching change to Harbaugh.

    5. Colts or Rams for #1

      Colts or Rams for #1

      Do the Colts lose on purpose to get the #1 overall pick, and do the Rams lay down to give themselves a chance? Do we need a draft lottery in the NFL to avoid a conspiracy theory?

    6. Who are your Week 16 NFL winners?

      Who are your Week 16 NFL winners?

      At this point of the season, players are exhausted. Coaches have been fired. Playoff spots have been determined, and then again, some have not. This is the time of the year when players and teams need to suck it up. Coaches need to check stupidness and stubbornness at the door.   Two weeks left, lets brace up the bandages and get after it.

    7. Who are your Week 15 NFL winners?

      Who are your Week 15 NFL winners?

      Seattle still has a chance for the playoffs. So does Arizona. And San Diego. Is this a great league or what? In fact, Indy is still is alive for the top draft, even if they win this weekend. Hey, guess what. I'm picking the Colts to win this week.
