Next!
Oregon went down in a blaze of injuries and turnovers to Arizona, 34-24, becoming the fifth number two team in America to fall this year, joining USC, Cal, South Florida, and Boston College. All fell to unranked opponents, which bodes well for Kansas. Kansas plays unranked Iowa State, but officially, they are number 3, so they […]

It Is My Money!

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

5-7-1? Plus 1-3 in the Best Bets, proving that taking your show on the road isn’t necessarily a good thing. In my defense, who saw six Peyton Manning INT’s coming?
For the prosecution, eventually not being able to pass was going to do in the Titans. I should know that. If they ever outlawed the forward pass, […]

The A-Rod Saga: A Story of Money and Feelings

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Well, well, well. Look who’s come crawling back to the Bronx.
Word on the street is that A-Rod has put his agent, Scott Boras, on the bench and is talking with the Yankees directly about returning. Why? Because they are the only team that can offer him the kind of money he’s looking for.

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I will never look at Aubrey Huff the same way again. From a recent appearance on Bubba The Love Sponge’s show:
Bubba: “Now Aubrey, do you jack off a lot on the road, like when you’re not with your wife.”
Huff: “It’s all I do. It’s all I do. You guys have no idea how […]

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Is the big game sold out? Are the scalpers charging an arm and a leg? Is everyone fresh out of extra tickets? Well, there’s a high-tech solution I saw in the parking lot at Notre Dame Stadium over the weekend: bring your pickup, your dish, your flat-screen TV, and watch from the parking lot!

Putting The Sports Gal to Shame

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Yesterday, I was sort of M.I.A. while the NFL was serving up its weekly helping of Sunday afternoon games. First, I was on a train. Then, I was aimlessly walking through The Loop in Chicago looking for a bar - any bar - that had football on (the results of the search were fruitless). Then, […]

The Darren McFadden Sweepstakes

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Injuries seem to be catching up with the Colts, the Cowboys showed that until the Giants realize that Terrell Owens is on their team they’re the best in the NFC, and the Chargers may be learning to win in spite of Norv Turner. But the top of the league is so not what the Darren […]
