Jonestown Massacre Bracket - Friday, March 14

March 14th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Wow. Just…wow. I’ve seen days of brutality in college basketball that would test the wills of mere mortals, but Thursday the 13th truly was a unique experience.

Meanwhile, a couple of teams finally woke up [...]

College Bowl Predictions - Part I

December 19th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

“College Coaches Are No Different Than South American Freedom Fighters.”

An open letter to college coaches-
Dear Money Grubbing Ego-maniacal Scumbags:
I understand that coaching can be a brutal profession, but as Gregg Easterbrook pointed out, it can also be done by volunteers (unlike surgeons). The only reason that your families collapse, your health fades and you sleep [...]

The Monday morning hangover was so bad, it lasted two extra days.
— Bryant Gumbel knows he sucked last year as an NFL play-by-play guy. So of course, he’s doing it again this year. Why? Why Why Why? Why do networks, especially ones who supposedly know what they’re doing, continue to ram sucky play-by-play broadcasters down [...]
