Friday Random 10: Beast Mode Edition

Pax Arcana
With all appropriate deference to Marshawn Lynch — originator of the concept and Father Scott man-crush — and the lads over at PIAB, I can think of no better phrase to sum up my hopes for the Giants this weekend than the following:
BEAST MODE
More to the point, this game (and every game the Giants [...]

Return to form

Pax Arcana
Apologies for the scarcity of content on the site this morning. Pax Manor is quite busy at the holidays, and Santa’s going to have my nuts in a sling if I don’t finish these…
Oops. I’ve said too much.
Anyway, I did have time to catch the big NFC showdown last night, in which the New [...]

We have a new suspect (Who Shot Plaxico?)

Pax Arcana
It’s been four days since Plaxico Burress was shot in the thigh, and we still don’t know who the real shooter is. The media and several eyewitnesses still insist it was Burress himself who pulled the trigger, but it is becoming increasing apparent that the “official” story is more full of holes than the [...]

WHAT IS APPLEBEE’S HIDING? (Who Shot Plaxico?)

Pax Arcana
The conspiracy to assassinate Plaxico Burress’s thigh is beginning to unravel. Even though most of the media has already convicted Burress of plugging his own damn self (in what some are derisively calling a “Plaxident“), the New York Post finally got around to doing some investigating.
What they find is so shocking and profound that [...]

Who shot Plaxico?

Pax Arcana
Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress will turn himself into New York City police today on felony gun charges. The arrest comes just days after Burress was shot in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub, where he operates a charity that rescues rare bottles of champagne from high shelves.
Several media reports indicate Burress’ wound was [...]

The grand Father Scott football preview

Father Scott
Your favorite local Padre, Fallen Angel, and the Paxman himself are in a fantasy football league at our lovely office. FA and Pax dueled it out in last year’s championship with Senor Arcana taking the crown, and FA getting hauled away in cuffs to share a cell with Cedric Benson.

This is my only reason [...]

Oh dear god, here we go again

Pax Arcana
Ah, autumn. The leaves crunching underfoot. The blazing kaleidescope of color. The annual Pax Arcana Apple and Fondue Festival.
Honestly, is there a better time of year than…
Oh no. Not again.

Hi guys. Gregg Easterbrook here. Just, you know, wanted to say hello, and wish you all a happy football season. I’ll be holding down my [...]

Every game needs a hero

Pax Arcana
A note to our friends: please do not play the below video if you are still smarting from the Giants victory over the Patriots in the Super Bowl. It’s a Gatorade commercial. It features Eli Manning. And it’s awesome.

Super Follow-Up

Pax Arcana
A few scattered thoughts to follow up:

Mercury Morris can choke on it. He says the Patriots aren’t in his house yet. I think most would agree that the 2007 Patriots would not only move into the 1972 Dolphins’ house, but would also eat everything out of the fridge, clog the toilet, break the remote, [...]

Pax Arcana

Let’s start with what this was not: A miracle.
Miracles are more than just “unexpected occurrences.” Miracles are more than just “whoda thunk it” victories by teams with inferior talent and a history of blowing big games. Miracles are when the very laws of nature are bent or distorted to produce a specific result.
This was [...]
