Remember this annoying Gillette ad with Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and soccer star Thierry Henry.
Started running in late 2007, even spawned a second commercial with Derek Jeter replacing Henry (we assume one shown just in the States).
So what’s happened since the original ad? All of them have suffered some severe career change.
Tiger Woods? Sure he [...]
We realize coaches often leave programs in bad shape, and the next coach gets blamed for a lot of things he can’t control. But in the case of Louisville football, come on: Losing 27-2, at home, to your rival Kentucky? Seven losses in Steve Kragthorpe’s first 13 games, with a team that won the 2007 [...]
So we’re back to the same ol’ game:
Start the college pigskin season with some inaccurate polls based on assumptions, know said polls determines who will play for the mythical (yes, it’s still mythical until you have a playoff) championship game, and wait for excuses from pollsters/coaches on why anyone but a big school from a [...]
Remember that story about the two University of Kentucky quarterbacks arrested in one week? Turns out one is in a WEE bit more trouble than the other.
Curtis Pulley, who was competing for the starting job, was cut on Tuesday. Pulley had one too many problems … or maybe two or three. Two weeks ago police [...]
Spotted at the Louisville International Airport: This sign, an ad for Jewish Hospital. In the middle is Louisville basketball coach. On the left is football coach Steve Kragthorpe. On the right is, well, the “regular Joe” for the ad. Lookie:
We’re really not trying to pile on Steve. Heck, guy’s dug his own grave: Going 6-6 [...]
And who said the University of Kentucky was just a basketball school?
Get some big-time arrests and suddenly - presto! Football powerhouse.
For the second time in a week, a UK quarterback ended up behind bars, this time sophomore Will Fidler. Lexington Police say Fidler is charged with disorderly conduct, and WKYT-TV reports it stemmed from a [...]
Give it up for Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach: He might be the only man in America with something good to say about airlines or airports.
At Big XII (see, we’re cool and use your silly roman numeral thingy. Pay us the royalties now!) media day in Kansas City, Leach said the press could [...]
Lost in the love/hatefest of Brett Favre’s comment is this: When Aaron Rodgers struggles this year, the guy who’s name they’ll be calling to replace him? Second-round draft pick and former Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm, who Green Bay plucked just in case they were wrong on Rodgers.
And so we bring you this semi-funny cartoon from [...]
The term Indiana football hero is kind of like jumbo shrimp; oxymoron doesn’t begin to explain it. But former IU coach John Pont is definitely a legend. He died today at the age of 80.
Pont is the only IU coach to reach the Rose Bowl (yes, the ONLY one). His 1967 Hoosier squad went 9-2, [...]
