So what are we looking at right now? A bad case of football withdrawal. You're in the desert. Alone. No means of feeding your desire for football, unless you're desperate and settle for some time with the UFL. That'll end fast.  So where does that leave you? With wall to

bradley is loose on social media. Now, check out the 'Sucker at the Table' You Tube channel featuring this and other bradley musings I'm bradley - and I'm here to keep you from becoming the sucker at the table. o for all you New York Jets fans out there, you've heard the chatter during the offseason about how things were going to be different this NFL season. This, of course, is after you endured the 15th consecutive year of their three year rebuilding program. So how will ne

I'm bradley and this is all about making sure you're never the sucker a the table. And how appropriate that really is right now. Because I was talkin' to a few guys who came back from a trip to the Mother Ship - Las Vegas. Let me tell you right now - according to them, Vegas is not like it used to be. These aren't get off my lawn types - they're mid 40's, totally cool with the vibe Vegas sends out every day. But they each said the same thing - too damn expensive, even when yo

I'm bradley and it's my job to keep YOU from being the Sucker At The Table Yeah, Chicken Little is back in the lineup. All the squawking, all the talkin', it's all there. The Dodgers just signed Kyle Tucker to a $240 million multi-year contract and right away, everyone's screaming about how the end of baseball is near, the Dodgers are destroying the game. Haven't I heard this nonsense before?  First, it was Marvin Miller who was going to destroy the game by unionizing major l

I'm bradley, reminding you, don't be the sucker at the table. Today, we're not talking suckers. We're talking making suckers of all the doubters, today and 46 years earlier. This is about hockey and history. What happened in Milan, with the USA hockey team winning gold in overtime versus Canada, was huge for the U.S., and for hockey in North America in general. USA Canada is already a fierce rivalry - add the stakes of a gold medal, top it off with overtime and yeah, it was a

People ask me questions. Questions like – why don’t I cover soccer or basketball? Do you REALLY want an answer? Because both suck. Loudly. Completely. No offense meant to anyone who loves or plays the game. You love it, and I am all for you enjoying it and getting what you can out of it. If it’s your ‘thing’, bless your heart. It bores ME more than Brady Bunch reruns - even the ones with Marcia. I think it’s only fair to start by telling you – I played both. That doesn’t make

Football is supposedly a game of deception. The way to get an edge in the game is to show your opponent one thing, then do another. Perfect example - the blitz. When a defense shows that they're going to send more players than the offense can block, the quarterback will shout out signals to the skills players on his team to change the play and their assignments, while the offensive line captain will do the same for his guys. And then, in an instant, just as the ball is bein

In a scene about midway through the 1942 classic film 'Casablanca' ( the single best movie to ever come out of Hollywood), Claude Rains (who plays the part of Captain Renault, Casablaca's corrupt but loveable prefect of police) is in the process of shutting down Rick's Cafe, where there is a back room where illegal gambling takes place..... In truth, he is being leaned on by the Nazi overseers who are politically in control of Casablanca and are forcing him to close the caf

The regular NFL season is finished and Black Monday has come and gone. Somehow, Robert Saleh has survived as the head coach of the New York Jets while Sean Payton will be back with the Denver Broncos after a 9-8 season. There are a lot of questions and ideas about to how to fix the problems these two franchises have. Well, your humble columnist also has a plan.  For a moment, let's talk about the why's. Then, we'll concentrate on the how's. Both teams are similar in their sit
