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…

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…

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…

By now you’ve heard about Roy Williams’ involvement in some NCAA violations at Kansas. It seems that while he was coach, a few boosters gave a number of players small graduation gifts. Actually, “end of eligibility” gifts might be better, because I don’t think all the players had graduated. Some of those involved say that…

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…

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…

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…

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…
