~ Kickoff ~

Welcome.

You have arrived at the most authentic site about professional football. This site is all encompassing in its no nonsense, to-the-point, "real" analysis of the teams, players, coaches, officials, broadcasters, and of the league itself.

This site is not a fantasy site, nor a stat site, nor a betting site, nor is it a site that recaps what we as fans have seen and heard over and over, ad nauseam, watching the highlights and listening to the radio all week.

Our views on this site will be astute, concise, and maybe you'll find them insightful.

You will notice that this site is quite simple in its design. This is so, not because of a lack of imagination or web design talent, but rather because of a disdain for the clutter found on a lot of other sites. This site focuses on content rather than graphics. There are a few flashing lights and animations for those who feel they are a requirement on a web site.

So after you've read it and reread it, let us know your opinion about anything we've said here or anything else you'd like to express regarding the great game of football. Contact us at: blitz@5thdownreport.net. Thank you and enjoy.

This site will be updated weekly, primarily on Wednesdays.

~ Extra Point ~

With the NFL planning on moving the Pro Bowl back to the mainland, we suggest playing it in the current non-footall city of Los Angeles.

The Eli 32-yard pass to David Tyree, which he caught with the aid of his helmet with Rodney Harrison draped all over him, will definitely go down as the single greatest play in Super Bowl history. In what some would say was the greatest drive in Super Bowl history. (Yeah, we remember Montana to Taylor.)

The whole atmosphere that the NFL creates around the Super Bowl really started to look like a WWE event.

We bet Tiki is glad he's reporting on chicken recipes in Iowa on morning TV.

Perfection is not 16-0, it's 19-0 (no truer words were ever written).
