9-year-old grunts, tennis club says get the hell away

February 26th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Lauryn Edwards learned a valuable lesson last week in her hometown of Adelaide, Australia: Enjoy the Kangaroos and shut the hell up.
The local tennis club says her grunting got way too loud, and now the 9-year-old is banned from playing there. Needless to say, her Dad was pretty pissed.
“What do they want me to [...]

As we sit here in the aftermath of the Kelvin Sampson resignation/buyout, the question has been raised by numerous commentators and fans — exactly who was responsible for bringing a known cheater to Bloomington to take over a program known for its adherence to NCAA rules?

On the verge of 12 straight national titles, Kentucky football blows off ESPN

February 25th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

When you win two straight Music City Bowls, you can pretty much call your own shots. Just ask the University of Kentucky.
Offered by ESPN it’s prime-time Monday Night Football slot for September 1st (at Louisville) - unopposed by any other college game, mind you - Kentucky said thanks, but, well, we have other plans.
“We’re willing [...]

No-bake Bracketology: Monday, February 25

February 25th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

The brackets are a day late this week? Why?
Well, it’s mostly because the at-large pool is so horrific. Not only are there teams in this week’s field that have no business being in a championship tournament, but those teams are nearly impossible to seed properly.
Yes, the reality of this week’s bracket is that it’s [...]

TMC’s deep thought of the week …

February 25th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

If you go by the cliche all the hack color commentators use (read: All of you) that “This time of year, these guys are no longer freshman - They’re sophomores!”, that would mean every other player would move up a class.
Thus, sophomores would be juniors, juniors would be seniors, and seniors, well, seniors would be [...]

Monday Morning Hangover

February 25th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Enough of the ‘72 Dolphins, ESPN

February 25th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

So Saturday night we watched Tennessee’s win over then-unbeaten Memphis with more than a bit of shock. Not because of the Vols play, but because of ESPN’s ad nauseum yak about Memphis’ pursuit of perfection, and the soundbites the WWL used for it’s montages.
Yes, that was Don Shula of the 1972 Dolphins, an annoying man [...]
