by rseysPosted on Posted in Football Weblog: Three Seasons of Epic Fun

Three years ago on this date – March 15, 2013 – I published my first Football Weblog post.  To mark the anniversary, I’ve created a short video.  For those of you that frequent Football Weblog, the video is a celebration.  I trust the images will put a smile on your face as you remember the diverse, interesting, and enjoyable football-related topics that have been covered.  If you’re a newcomer, I hope the video gives you an entertaining idea of the content Football Weblog provides and inspires you to come back for more.  My biggest wish is that you like the video as much as I enjoyed creating it.

by rseysPosted on Posted in NFL Regional Combines

The NFL has a system in place for teams to take a closer look at young athletes hoping to find their way into the league.  The first and biggest event is the Scouting Combine.  More than 300 prospects were invited to participate in this year’s Scouting Combine.  The NFL also hosts Regional Combines.  Regional Combines are held in various cities throughout the U.S. for players not invited to the main Scouting Combine.

Not just anyone can attend a Regional Combine.  Prospects are required to apply.  Only those that meet NFL eligibility rules, and establish that they are fit and qualified to compete, are invited to showcase their talents.

Recently I was browsing YouTube and stumbled across a 2013 NFL Regional Combines promo video.  I don’t know about you, but the video gives me chills.  It does a great job of putting you into a young athlete’s shoes.  If your dream is to play in the NFL, the Regional Combines may be your last good opportunity to convince someone to give you a chance.

Sea Gal Hope defeated the Broncos’ Christina by the narrowest of margins, 8-7, to capture the 2016 Clash of the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders championship.  This year’s entire tournament was marked by close matches, so it was only fitting that Hope garnered the victory by a single vote.

by rseysPosted on Posted in March 2016 Football Calendar

The 2015-16 gridiron season continues to wind down.  This is the slowest time of the year when it comes to football.  Yet a glimmer of hope can already be seen.  The NFL Regional Combines are in full swing, and the 2016 NFL Player Draft is around the corner in April.  Yes, these are the dark days of football, but there’s still a pigskin pulse.  Hang in there.

One way to keep football on your mind is to display Football Weblog’s monthly calendar.  This month we celebrate field general Peyton Manning’s 4oth birthday (March 24th) and honor his Super Bowl 50 win over the Panthers.  The March calendar displays a colorful “snapshot in time” from 2014 that shows Manning tossing his 509th career touchdown pass — the pass that eclipsed Brett Favre for most TD passes ever.

Football Weblog’s calendar comes in two different formats. The first is designed to print on standard 8½ x 11 sheets of paper. The second is formatted for 11 x 17 paper. Select your preference from the links below.

It was a long, arduous journey, but we finally made it to the ‘Super Bowl’ of Football Weblog’s cheerleader tournament: The 2016 Clash of the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders Championship!

Representing the AFL is the Bronco’s Christina.  She advanced to the championship round with a 9-6 tally over the Jag’s Jessica.  The NFC representative is Hope from the Seahawks.  She slipped past the Buccaneer’s Cori by the slimmest of margins: 8-7. (Click HERE to see the tournament bracket.)

The pictures for the championship match are shown below. Select your favorite. The cheerleader that captures the most votes will be named the winner of Football Weblog’s 2016 Clash of the Pro Bowl Cheerleaders tournament. Polls will remain open through Sunday, February 28.

Good luck, Christina and Hope!

by rseysPosted on Posted in February 2016 Football Calendar

The NFL Conference Championships are in the books and the final game of the season is set:  It will be the Denver Broncos taking on the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.  As I write this, the sportsbooks favor the Panthers with the betting line ranging from 4½ to 6 points, but the only one that knows the actual outcome of the game for sure is Biff Tannen.

This month’s football calendar features an eye-pleasing panoramic view of Levi’s Stadium, home of Super Bowl 50.  It will be a great venue for America’s newest, albeit unofficial, national holiday.

Football Weblog’s calendar comes in two different formats.  The first is designed to print on standard 8½ x 11 sheets of paper.  The second is formatted for 11 x 17 paper.  Select your preference from the links below.
