“T”he “M”ystifying “Q”uestion

August 31st, 2008 | Posted in nfl

Over the last two weeks I ran an NFL season predictions column on CBSSportsline.com and I genuinely thought I was being unique by using Haikus to write an AFC and NFC Preview.
Since I was the kid that had a notebook full of Mark Malone haikus in elementary school and did several live readings of my [...]

“Um, hey LaMont…nice pads….this is awkward, huh?”

July 23rd, 2008 | Posted in nfl

My favorite story out of every training camp is the veteran who is “asked” not to come to training camp, but has millions of dollars waiting for if he shows up. Like his pride is going to get in the way of cashing that sort of paycheck.
Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reported that LaMont [...]

Creepy rape accusation throwback day

July 11th, 2008 | Posted in college basketball

Okay, what was the deal with yesterday? I know I’ve been pining for a day when Favre-centric news didn’t dominate, but things verged into “creepily weird” territory with two of Thursday’s stories.
First, we get word in the news that former Florida Gator basketball player Teddy Dupay has been arrested on charges of rape, kidnapping, and [...]

No more talky, talky….

July 10th, 2008 | Posted in random

The preset AM buttons on my car go just like this: Sportstalk/Sportstalk/Sportstalk/Sportstalk/News. And the only reason the last one is news is because I need to get the traffic occasionally. That said, I hate sports talk radio.
Why does any host insist that he can fill up three hours without a co host? Is it ego? [...]

Is this what we’ve come to?

July 9th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, nfl

Okay, so I know I was bitching about the Favre coverage earlier in the week. I know I need to get over it. As Sonny told me tonight, “It’s a league full of bad quarterbacks…if he wants to play, he will.”
Yeah, I know, I get it. But still…if there’s so LITTLE going on in the [...]

Is Kobe Bryant a prototypical striker?

June 26th, 2008 | Posted in NBA

Poor Kobe. We’ve seen a mountain of material over the last few years describing him in rather unflattering terms. From Phil Jackson’s book on the Lakers to Shaq’s freestyle slam on Bryant, and everything in between, Kobe’s public image has been irreparably tarnished in America. As an athlete, Bryant now represents the ultimate in selfishness [...]

SbB sums up 1990’s Purdue football perfectly

February 8th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Joe Tiller is an upset man. Rich Rodriguez and Michigan absconded with Tiller’s prized recruit, a receiver out of Ohio named Roy Roundtree who had verbally committed to Purdue but signed a national letter of intent with Michigan on Wednesday.
Tiller, who of course is a paragon of moral virtue himself, responded to this situation by [...]

USF, FSU admins leave athletic departments out to dry

February 6th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

It was a bad day to be an athletic director (current or former) in Florida yesterday, as two prominent Division I-A school administrations laid some smack down on their athletics programs.
First up was the University of South Florida — darling of TMC and little-guy advocates everywhere — which saw its administration wrest control of academic [...]

Stupid PR Tricks - Miami Edition

January 25th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Public relations in general are getting a bit out of hand in sports. Sure, it’s one thing to give your team’s side of the story, particularly when the local media hate you. It’s another thing entirely to put things on your website that are so OBVIOUSLY full of spin…and crap…that normal human beings end up [...]
