Christian Ponder is the third player from the 2009 rankings to make TheSportsFag’s 2010 Top 25. With another year of development under his football pants, Ponder’s really turned into a fine quarterback for Florida State.

Stream of unconsciousness as I recover from a flu shot. By the way, I’m a just the facts kind of guy and I know ‘they’ say you can’t get all punky feeling from a flu shot, but the facts are: I get a flu shot and 24 hours later I fell like poo poo.

That’s what they [...]

There’s just no way the Rangers can win this series, right?  After all, the numbers are stacked against them.  The only number the Rangers have is 0; as in the number of championships, American League Pennants and home playoff wins combined. That’s right, the Rangers have never won a home playoff game.  Hell up until last week [...]

Lucky Colt McCoy looks like he’s gonna make his NFL debut Sunday against the vaunted Steelers’ defense. Seneka Wallace and Jake Delhomme, Cleveland’s starter and backup quarterback, continue to nurse high-ankle sprains and will more than likely miss the game against Pittsburgh.

Being an Auburn fan it’s natural to hate/dislike anything to do with Alabama, but I’ve got to give props to Nick Saban who said:

“the best ability is reliabilty”

It’s a simple saying that holds true in many facets of life.   A truism in the world of sports especially, one that’s playing out on a grand [...]

It’s the first time since 1970 there are no undefeated teams four games into the NFL season.  Yes, we have parity, and we have some really bad football being played this year.

Jacksonville 36, Buffalo 26 Its rare you see a team win the turnover battle 3-0 and lose the game.  It’s also strange to see a [...]

Last year’s Rose Bowl participants, Ohio State and Oregon, occupy the top two spots in this weeks AP’s College Football Poll.   Former #1 Alabama, who fell 35-21 to South Carolina, made several uncharacteristic mistakes and wasn’t able to stop Gamecock’s wide receiver Alshon Jeffery who pulled in several tough catches on his way to [...]

TheSportsFag’s predictably predictable big-game predictions for week 6 of college football. Note: I’m not responsible if you lose your bathhouse money on my predictions. #1 Alabama @ #19 South Carolina 3:30 CBS Will anyone stop the Tide this year?  I hate to say it but even with an extra week to prepare I don’t think the Cocks [...]

ESPN’s annual quasi-nude Body Issue drops today.   I’m sure there’s some fine journalisming in the issue, but I’m pretty certain there’s only one reason my readers would want to spend $$$ on the magazine.   So I’ll save you the hassle of looking like a perv buying the issue at your local grocery store. Excuse [...]
