The Game They Shouldn’t Play - Week 14

November 30th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I know Mark Mangino did. Seriously, dude can eat and nothing cheers you up after a loss then better than leftovers. When you’re done eating? How about some college football. Time to jump (might as well!)

Turn the Disney Channel down, Ray

November 30th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

While ESPN uses “Pardon the Interruption” and “Around the Horn” for middle-aged journalists to scream meaningless blather at each other, it uses the morning show “First Take” for ex athletes to do so. Case in point? Friday morning with former Colts/Falcons defensive back Ray Buchanan.
Ray and former Lions offensive tackle Lomas Brown were playing some [...]

It’s also Brian Kelly’s dream to sleep with the Queen of England

November 30th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Winning nine games at the University of Cincinnati is not an easy task, although apparently coach Brian Kelly has goals a little smaller than the BCS national title game.
Like, a whole lot smaller.
Thursday Kelly told The Cincinnati Enquirer playing in the PapaJohns.com bowl (at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala.) is a dream come true.
Seriously. We [...]

Floyd Keith is displeased with Texas A&M

November 28th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Like other college football observers, I was mildly surprised when Texas A&M hired former Packers head coach Mike Sherman to replace Dennis Franchione. I wasn’t even aware that Sherman was looking for another head coaching job, although given his previous ties to College Station, the move was understandable. However, the speed with which the move [...]

November 28th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Here’s some of the best (and worst) from the sports world today:
— It could be a difficult off-season for some Miami football players, as it’s being reported by Miami Sports Blog that six football players have had their scholarships pulled by Randy Shannon, including the guy who started the season at quarterback. We’ll try to [...]

Vancouver 2010 Olympics mascots named, and…WTF???

November 28th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Meet Sumi, Quatchi, and Miga, ladies and gentlemen — your mascots for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, according to this recent press release.
…
I’m speechless. Really. I mean, it’s half-expected that mascots for any major International sporting event are going to suck unequivocally. For instance, go check out this history of FIFA World Cup mascots. My favorite [...]

Give ‘em hell Jimmy! Timeout for everyone!

November 27th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

When you send your kids to timeout for bad behavior, be gentle: Mr. Myles Brand may have to do the same to Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson.
At least in ESPN’s Jimmy Dykes’ world.
While calling IU’s win tuesday night over Georgia Tech, Dykes and Brad Nessler discussed the possible penalty on Kelvin Sampson upcoming from the [...]
