If things go well (meaning if my wife doesn’t kill me for skipping out on putting the kids to bed), I’ll be appearing on the Sports Bloggers Live Internet radio show tonight. I’m supposed to come on about about 7:45 Eastern and will be talking about Bruton Smith’s crazy $40 million football game. If this…

[Note from Dave: Please welcome a new guest writer for this site – Bob Pentland. Bob has agreed to write a regular (more or less) feature here on Dave Sez where he discusses the finer points of football, points the average viewer and announcer miss. Bob is a great writer and is as comfortable discussing…

Adrian McPherson took a wildly circuitous route to the NFL. He was Florida’s high school player of the year in both football and basketball before he chose to play QB at Florida State. His career there was brief and very rocky. Poor play, rumors of thrown games (particularly that fishy loss to NC State), payments…

Remember that side story to the Roy Williams/Kansas NCAA troubles about how the NCAA apparently considers athletes to be ineligible to receive gifts for their entire life? Well, the News & Observer has followed up on that angle. They interviewed a number of athletes and administrators about the rule and its interpretation. As you can…

You may have noticed that Dave Sez was off in Never Never Land for the past couple of days. Sorry about that. If you didn’t notice, well, you should have! Anyway, it seems that the cable service on my whole street got knocked out by a particularly violent storm the other night. Man, that was…

When Florida State quarterback Wyatt Sexton went nuts in streets of Tallahassee, I thought it was a funny story. Pretty clearly, the dude was whacked out on some ‘shrooms or acid and developed himself a God complex (and a son-of-God complex as well). The one nagging thought that kept me from being too flippant about…

Once again, I’ve been a bit busy and haven’t posted on several interesting things from the past week. So, instead of being completely negligent, I’ll just drop a few quickie thoughts into one post. How’s that for ya? An Even Dozen You probably saw the news. Last week, on July 1st to be exact, Boston…

The rivalry is back. And it might be better than ever. A little recent history for you. Not too long after Mike Krzyzewski had established Duke as a legitimate first-tier program in the late 80s and early 90s, Dean Smith retired (and to head off any hate mail, I’m not suggesting Dean retired because of…

I ran across an article that someone had cut and pasted to a message board at thesabre.com and thought I needed to share it. It’s not clear where the article originated, so I’m just going to paste the whole thing in here. It’s signed by a Ryan Jordan, who may or may not be the…

Stewardess: Would you like something to read? Woman: Do you have anything light? Stewardess: Umm, how about this leaflet: “Famous Jewish Sports Legends”? Well, it’s time to add another line to the leaflet! It might even be a pamphlet by now. Not only is Duke recruit Jon Scheyer Jewish, but so was the entire starting…
