It’s something I’ve been thinking about before the football season started: How do I justify my sports loyalties when they conflict with my personal values?  So this morning when I got this tweet from a fellow Auburn fan and follower I decided it was time to write it out. Where do our sports loyalties lie, why [...]

Streams of unconsciousness while considering the greatness of Airplane; perhaps the best comedy of all time? Ditka being Ditka… With so many athletes/coaches turned analyst on NFL coverage most pre and post-game coverage is filled with lame-ass comments from reticent former teammates who are more concerned about their perception in the locker room than expressing their true feelings. [...]

Jerry Jones finally pulls the plug on dead coach coaching Wade Phillips.  TheSportsFag has learned — from TV — that Phillips is out and much maligned offensive coordinator Jason Garrett will assume the head coaching duties for the remainder of 2010. It appears the Cowboys want to control the message because shortly after their 45-7 ass [...]

Dear readers, passerbys, friends and fellow bloggers. I’m not one to talk about family to the vast blogosphere except about myself however because of what will occuring over the next few days I think it is required for those who stop by and will wonder “hey what the heck is up ?”. This week my elderly [...]

“Death threats, and the now worldwide controversy surrounding your election of me as bishop, have been a constant strain, not just on me, but on my beloved husband, Mark” and on Episcopalians in the state, he said. From the New York Times article about Bishop Gene Robinson and the announcement of his pending stepping down and retirement as [...]

When I first read about this the other night after getting in from work and getting my email subscription to Mediaite I couldn’t believe this nonsense about Keith Olbermann being “suspended” from MSNBC over making political donations. Because it is unlikely my commentary here will be presented in other mainstream websites to wit I say what [...]

Going into Saturday, the conventional wisdom was that if Alabama won out they would be defending their national championship a few days after we all recover from our New Years Eve’s hangovers. Toss that script out! LSU came up large against Alabama; using fourth-down trickery and big pass plays in their 24-21 win over No. 6 [...]

Vanderbilt’s first-ever Parade All-American recruit is also the first Commodore ever to make TheSportsFag’s Top 25 College Football Hotties. Goro, a redshirt freshman, threw for over 3,200 yards and 38 touchdowns in leading Maine South to the Illinois class 8A state title in 2008. Goro’s said to have an adequate arm, tremendous speed, clocked at 10.9 in [...]

That sound you hear emanating from the heartland of these United States isn’t an earthquake, though the after shocks will be felt all around college football for some time. No, that sound you hear is the other shoe dropping on the Big 12. Texas who backed out of a deal to join the Pac-whatever number they are [...]

You know whoever said, “If something seems too good to be true, it probably is”, was referring to Auburn football. Too Good: The most dominant SEC program of the 1980′s. The Truth: Pat Dye’s program was dirtier than Scat Fest 2010 at Folsom. After CBS’ 60 Minutes got through with Auburn , I knew what Bo Knew : players at big-time programs [...]

Brian Wilson’s too-much-awesome shtick saved Jay Leno from another lame-ass interview last night. Leno’s opening question: Is that a real mohawk? Wilson, nailed it! I’ll say there’s a better than zero chance this was the first time a leather harness appeared on the Good Night Show (see last clip) Brian Wilson’s Leno appearance Part 1 Brian Wilson’s [...]
