Keidel: Aaron Rodgers Is The Greatest Quarterback Ever
This is not because Rodgers beat Brady last week. The game was whisker-close and you could easily argue that the Patriots would win a rematch on a neutral field. This is about stats, scent, and sense.
Keidel: Giving Thanks For Sports
Since we are upon our great day of gratitude, a pretext for gorging on poultry and then taking our swollen torsos to the nearest television for some football, let’s look to sports for reasons to give thanks.
Keidel: Manny Pacquiao Takes On Chris Algieri In Macau
Somewhere way on the right side of your globe, in the aorta of China, Manny Pacquiao will fight on Saturday, November 22.
Keidel: Clayton Kershaw’s Hollywood Ending Should Bother Everyone
There’s a contemporary push to place starting pitchers in the same realm as everyday players, which is confusing as it is annoying.
Keidel: Jumping Off The LeBron James Bandwagon
LeBron didn’t just join the Cleveland Cavaliers. He came to save the world, so to speak, to bring financial and spiritual lubricant to the Rust Belt, an area of America that has been lost to the the meat-hook realities of economics.

Keidel: Josh Gordon And NFL Policy
It seems we’ve jumped into the pool of relativism since we got wind of Josh Gordon’s season-long suspension for marijuana use. You have the indignant faction that can’t believe someone who smokes weed gets a year while Ray Rice skates with a two-game suspension
Keidel: Jim Kelly’s Final Score
Word dripped down this week that Jim Kelly’s cancer is gone. But what does that mean? Is it gone today only to make its interminable, terminal march back to his enervated frame? Or is it really gone, as in he won?
Keidel: Ben Roethlisberger Needs To Stay Focused Amid Emmanuel Sanders Feud
So it is with my jaded view of the world that I address the Ben Roethlisberger – Emmanuel Sanders feud. Sanders said that his new quarterback, Peyton Manning, is a much better leader than his old quarterback, Big Ben. And thus the verbal jousting began, feathers flexed, talons out.
