  • The Little Four

    Roy Green of the Charlotte Observer takes a pretty sharp knife to the “Big Four” football programs in this article. It’s rough, but really, there’s nothing in there that you can argue with. The last major bowl for any Big Four team? Duke played in the Cotton Bowl in 1960. 1960 Hat tip to the…

  • The Worst Ever

    For years I’ve said that Mark Malone of the Pittsburgh Steelers was the worst starting quarterback in NFL history. Great reporter, terrible QB. Well, now I have concrete. ESPN put together the ten worst statistical seasons ever by NFL quarterbacks. OK, maybe Malone didn’t hit #1, but he did make the top ten. Considering how…

  • This is an odd idea. Sexy Results tried to find the corresponding rapper for each college football team. Damn if they didn’t pull it off. It’s a funny read even though I honestly had never heard of about half of the rappers. Who knew there were so many out there? One funny sample: Northwestern/Public Enemy…

  • Catching Up

    I took a couple of days off last week and have been a bit busier at work. So I’ve missed posting on a few subjects that I’d rather not miss. To catch up, I’ll just put them all in this post. TA McLendon’s NFL career didn’t last too long, huh? He was released by the…

  • Peter King’s weekly love letter to the New England Patriots, otherwise known as Monday Morning Quarterback, is usually a pretty good read. He has good access to NFL teams and writes in a nice, casual style. Sure, he’s wrong a lot and has an unnatural infatuation with Brett Favre to go along with his burning…

  • Sometimes the web gives us those annoying Punch The Monkey popups and sometimes it gives us the amazing Mahir (I kiss you!). The Road From Bristol is Mahir-quality; exactly the kind of quirky brilliance that Al Gore had in mind when he invented these here Internets. The Road From Bristol is a 64-man tournament to…

  • The News & Observer has a great piece today (well, it’s actually an AP article) about Jason Williams and his recovery. Evidently, he’s nearly back to full strength and believes that he will be on an NBA roster next season. I hope so. Jason Williams made a very dumb mistake. He was an idiot to…

  • Like the rest of us, Chris Chase has been thinking about Tiger. Unlike the rest of us though, he hasn’t just been watching in awe. No sir, Chris has been hatching a plan. A plan to intimidate Tiger Woods. I’m not really sure if it would work or not – it would probably result in…

  • Confidence Man

    In case you haven’t picked up on it, Lou Holtz is a snake. He’s left just about every program he coached in trouble. NCAA investigations follow him as surely and closely as a trailer behind a pickup. His career is surely over now, but that doesn’t mean we should just let bygones by bygones. As…

  • Unlike the guys at 850 The Buzz, I don’t think this pic is terribly scandalous, but it is pretty damn funny. He looks a bit drunk, but I think that’s just bad timing on the photographer. It does look like he’s in a college dorm or apartment though, which is odd. Wanna guess what he’s…
