The Pigskin High Holidays are here!
The most wonderful time of the year unfolds over the next couple of weeks – a non-stop feast of football we here at CHFF know and love as the Pigskin High Holidays. It kicks off tomorrow on a Rivalry Saturday that features many of the biggest and most compelling games on the college calendar. Strap on the feed bag, folks.
Bungles can't get any worse ... seriously Pittsburgh's 27-10 win over Cincy Thursday night was so easy it probably would have slept with us in high school. It also made us wonder: Is this the worst team in the sad history of the Bengals?
Power Rankings: Favre eases queasy tummies Among life’s many inevitabilities – death, taxes, a CHFF staffer with indigestion – one can always count on a Brett Favre interception in a big moment of a big game. But lately Favre has remedied that situation like a CHFF staffer guzzling a bottle of Maalox. As a result, the Jets jump into the top five of our smooth-and-easy Power Rankings.
The cream don't rise, but the sh*t sure does sink Identifying winners and losers in the NFL used to be so easy. You simply looked at the top of the passing yards per attempt list to find the winners, and then looked at the bottom of the passing yards per attempt list to find the losers. The losers are still easy to find. It's the winners that are giving us statistical agita.
Relativity Index through Week 11 The Giants and Titans appear to be on a Super Bowl collision course, while locked in a statistical dead heat atop our Relativity Index.
Defensive Hog Index: Eagles NFL's greatest enigma The Eagles are the most curious specimen to step on an NFL field since Michael Jackson performed at Super Bowl halftime with 3,000 little children.
A safe haven for our oft-neglected Mail Pouch Our precious Mail Pouch gets neglected so badly that one of our readers tried to drop it off at a safe haven hospital in Nebraska the other day.
MMH: Can Titans go undefeated? It Depends This week's Monday Morning Hangover brings up the haunting specter of Mercury Morris, sizes up the race to smash Dan Marino's passing yardage record and reminisces about the days when Uncle Elmer dressed up as Santa.
Giants win classic cockfight In a true battle of manhood, perhaps it’s only, ahem, fitting that the aptly named Giants penetrated the Ravens defense so often Sunday our toes began to curl even watching at home on TV.
Deep thoughts with CHFF Jets-Patriots of recent years offered all the thrill-a-minute appeal of passing a kidney stone. On Thursday night they gave us the highest scoring game in the series in 21 years.

College football's rivalry Saturday is best remembered for The Play in The Big Game 26 years ago this weekend, highlighted by Joe Starkey's legendary call that summed it all up so beautifully. Yeah, you've seen it 1,000 times, too. But it never gets old, especially when you see the final score in context of John Elway's tremendous drive that set it all up.
