Lane Kiffin did what he needed to do in the off season. He had to sell the Tennessee faithful and recruits that he was the right hire in Knoxville. But, as Lou Holtz is famous for saying

Promises are like snowballs. They are easy to make but hard to keep.

And Kiffin will be making snowballs [...]

Unlike the NFL, it takes a couple of weeks of college football to separate the pretenders from the contenders. Even though there have been some nice network-created, non-conference match ups early in the season we are just now getting into conference play. What did we learn from the first two weeks and last night’s game? Pre-game handshakes [...]

With just about two weeks left in major league baseball’s regular season the playoff match ups are almost set in stone. This year the only drama in September baseball is how will managers juggle their staffs to ensure their pitching rotations are optimized for the playoffs. Boring!!!! 2009 will be remembered as the season of no [...]

Within 48 hours Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro, an name largely unknown to those who only watch Grand Slam Finals, defeated the sports two biggest stars in Nadal and Federer to win the US Open. The 20-year-old’s seventh match against Federer looked like it was headed the same way as the first six – with a [...]

His 87-yard touchdown catch with just 11 seconds left on Sunday provided a 12-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, but Miracle pass catcher Brandon Stokley is used to overcoming long odds. As a sophomore in high school Stokley decided against a career in football due to his size. At 5-4 and 115 lb. he figured [...]

There’s no disputing Jay Cutler’s arm or his intellect. The fourth year QB from Vanderbilt has the biggest arm in the NFL and he scored a 26 on the Wonderlic test back in 2006. So what’s his problem? How can a smart guy with a big arm make so many poor decisions? What caused the Pro [...]

It’s always a tricky proposition to pick conference winners before the season starts and although I wavered a bit with my NFC pick I’m feeling confident now. Predictions are flawed in nature because you can’t factor in injuries and depth only becomes a factor if injuries are a problem. The X factor with me is that [...]

The Steelers kicked off the NFL season last night with a 13-10 overtime win over the Tennessee Titans. It was a typical AFC North slugfest between two old foes. There were plenty of fireworks before the game as the Steelers celebrated their sixth Super Bowl championship but the offenses fizzled until the fourth quarter. It was [...]

The one thing I am certain about this year is that the Steelers will either face New England or San Diego in the AFC championship game. San Diego is the chic pick to win the AFC and the Chargers will probably win home field advantage because they play in the weak ass AFC West. Yet, the [...]

There’s a lame ass unwritten rule in baseball where you are expected to keep celebrations to a minimum in order to not ‘show up’ your opponent. As baseball tries it’s hardest to grab the attention of the next generation of sports fans it would be best if the Players Union held a clinic to discuss how [...]

It’s been another long shift, with a noticeable absence of three staff, one to sickness, one to holiday and one to a different position, (I’ll miss you Sharon – but you’d better keep in touch) I’ve been good and cycled into work each evening, it’s been very pleasant, weather kind, cycling home though, after a 12 [...]

Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford suffered a shoulder sprain in the Sooners game against BYU on Saturday. Late in the second quarter, blitzing BYU linebacker Coleby Clawson cleanly drilled Bradford into the turf at the Cowboys new stadium. Watching Oklahoma after Bradford’s injury you quickly realize the hopes of Sooner Nation rest solely [...]

An up and down day for the Big 10. Penn St, Michigan St, Michigan, Purdue and Northwestern all took care of business by beating up on inferior opponents. While Ohio State, Minnesota and Iowa looked bad against teams they should’ve beat up on. After getting out to an early lead Ohio State looked as if they [...]

So much for those handshakes before the games leading to better behavior on the field. It only took 4 quarters for some fucktard to ruin it for everyone. More on that in a bit. The real story from Thursday night is the dominating performance of the Boise St. Broncos. Some say that ESPN had been over [...]
