Posted on by rseys Posted in April 2016 Football Calendar

The birds are singing, the cold winter weather is behind us, and the warm sun and rain showers are greening up the lawns and making the trees bud.  As Kip Dynamite would say, “that’s pretty cool I guess”.  But if you’re a football fan, it’s still the dark days, because football season is about as far away as it can get.  Yet there are still things to get excited about.  April means the NFL Player Draft.  It’s always fun to see where the top prospects end up, and speculate what those new player additions will mean to the clubs that select them.

Football Weblog’s monthly football calendar can help too.  Not only does it show the dates of the 2016 NFL Player Draft (April 28-30), but it also includes the birth dates of the best NFL players, both past and present.  Displaying Football Weblog’s colorful calendar is a great way to show that you’re a football fan.

Football Weblog’s calendar comes in two different formats.  The first is ready to print on two standard 8½ x 11 sheets of paper.  The second format is for those of you that own a printer that supports 11 x 17 paper.  The entire month — picture and calendar — fits neatly on one tabloid-sized paper.  Select the format you’d prefer from the links below.

Posted on by rseys Posted in Football Weblog Moonshot: March 2016 Update

In December of 2014, Football Weblog eclipsed 15,000 all-time views.  I acknowledged that landmark number with a fun, little John F. Kennedy-like post proclaiming that Football Weblog is shooting for the moon.  The post included an image showing a rocket speeding away from the earth at an elevation of 15,000 yards – one yard for every view.  (Hey, progress on the gridiron is tracked in yards.  If you’re running a football blog, the unit of measure has to be yards!)  This is an update on that post.  As you can see by the infographic below, traffic to Football Weblog continues to grow at an increasing rate.  Godspeed, Football Weblog, and thank you to everyone for your support!

As always, run to daylight!

Posted on by rseys 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.

Posted on by rseys 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.

Posted on by rseys 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.
