Fuad Reveiz? On DIY? It’s more likely than you think

From bench-clearing brawls to Nigerian kickers…yes, it’s time for the SBA wraparound.

The Game They Shouldn’t Play - Week 5

Wait until you see these OH-FOURS play! The Hammer is back with another edition of college football’s worst.

Mike Gundy is right … sort of.

Ok, this one is tough to get out …
I get tired of hearing coaches blast the media for being unethical while those same coaches allow little-to-no access; I get tired of hearing coaches telling media members what they can and cannot write but would never dream of allowing a journalist to come close to telling [...]

Things we can’t un-see

Jason Kendall made an appearance in the Marlins-Cubs game tonight. Every time I see Jason Kendall, I can’t help but reminisce about that ridiculous compound fracture he suffered in Pittsburgh.
However, as I was thinking about that, I started to wonder…what’s the worst bone break that we’ve ever seen on TV? Most people immediately point to [...]

The SoFLA report, Part I: Marlins-Cubs

I‘m always fascinated by new places, particularly when it comes to sports. Having recently relocated to the Miami-Dade metroplex, I was rather intrigued by what the sports scene is REALLY like down here. After all, most people who’ve never lived in south Florida have their stereotypical impressions of the fans (and the teams) here — [...]

The SBA Wraparound

Reggie Bush, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a running back, you’re not a receiver. I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you at the stadiums, I don’t want you near my fantasy football team. When you have a bye week, I want to know a [...]

You all recall the suspended resolution of late [...]

Luke Recker is going bald, we’re getting old

From the Bartel files of “Oh my goodness, they’re still alive!”:
OK, it’s just a receding hairline, but one look at former Indiana University/Iowa Hawkeye forward Luke Recker’s diminishing follicles and, well, everyone here at the Meaningful Collateral feels as aged as Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy (WE’RE 40! … ok, not really, but [...]

Fatherly Advice

Sports, as we know, is an integral part of the maturation process in youngsters across America. The lessons we learn from sports help to form our opinions about a whole variety of things, from the importance of paying our electric bills to what the appropriate reaction is to the latest Lindsay Lohan scandal. Perhaps [...]

When Mascots Attack, part XXVII

The Chiefs may be the worst team in the NFL this year. Granted, this was predictable, due to the team deciding that it would be in great shape relying on either Damon Huard or Brodie Croyle at the quarterbacking position.
Despite the Chiefs’ malaise, there is at least one member of the franchise who is [...]
