Posted Friday June 13, 2008, About: Ocho Cinco is up to his old tricks
Maybe the Vikings will pick him off and complete the circle in their new hexagon of truth... or was that rhombus of accountability? Maybe it was parallelogram of conviction.... I don't quite remember.

Anyway, Moss has been gone for what? 4 years? Plenty of time for the rubes to forget about the whole cleaning up the ship routine. They should take a flier on Ocho Stinco. He'd look awesome in that new neon pink/purple uniform Ziggy makes them wear,

Somebody has been reading too much of that d-bag Eklund's garbage.

I love how the Boston Herald "apologizes"....

They had one of their reporters on NFL Network yesterday, but he wouldn't speak on behalf of the newspaper. So he simply said that the paper was wrong, BUT there was still something fishy going on (referring to Walsh's conversation with Daboll). Nice apology.

I really wouldn't expect anything less than this sad attempt to save face from the sports media though.

The bottom line is this: The Boston Herald screwed up. And now they are going to try to salvage their reputation by pushing this story.
Unfortunately, and much to the chagrin of the Boston Herald, a conversation between Walsh and Daboll isn't nearly the infraction that a video tape would have been, As much as the tool boxes at that newspaper would like to think this is going to get them off the hook, it won't.

It's nice to see the jackstains in the media finally having to hock up an apology. It's just unfortunate that it took an investigation of this magnitude and the intervention of a U.S. Senator to make it happen.

But that's media for you. Most reporters have egos that are bigger than the very athletes they cover. they think they can write anything and fabricate anything. As long as they cite "Anonymous" as their source, they can send waves through the sports community at will.

I spent 2 years covering NHL hockey and there isn't enough money in the world to make me go back to doing it. Reporters are sad people. Most of them are still single, drink too much and spend their lives traveling from city to city for less than 50K per year. They are the same losers that you used to encounter back in high school... you know, the kids that spent the entire school day arguing sports with their friends. They're still the same sad and pathetic characters they were back then, the only difference is that now they have a platform to spread their irrelevant opinions and a modest paycheck.

In the end, I'll take my six figure income and then go pay to see games like everybody else in the country. The luxury suite is more comfortable than the press box, and I don't have to run down to the locker room immediately following a game and try to elbow my way into a media scrum to get quotes form players and coaches who are steaming mad from just getting their asses handed to them.

With Aldridge, Hughes and Allen being so young and Jonas Gray coming in this year, and Wood and Riddick next year... I just don't see it happening. But hey, I wouldn't complain. You really can't have too much depth in the stable.
Posted Sunday May 11, 2008, About: Weis: 'To hell with Michigan'
"And then we'll listen to Michigan have all their excuses as they come running in and saying how they have a new coaching staff and there's changes. To hell with Michigan!"

Pretty much.

Yeah but it's even more unfortunate that the definition of "beyond a shadow of a doubt" now extends only to situations where you have verifiable proof of the person actually committing the crime.

Thanks to political correctness, "Beyond a shadow of a doubt" has morphed into "only if absolute proof is provided".

Unfortunately, even the most ignorant criminals leave the camcorder at home when they go to work....

But don't worry. There will always be plenty of democrats in the world to give them a free pass. Because after all, there was a really good reason for him to have that bag over his kid's head.
Posted Sunday May 11, 2008, About: Gruden losing power in Tampa Bay
So let me get this straight:

Tony Dungy wins the Superbowl with Peyton Manning.....

Jon Gruden wins a Superbowl with a roster of players that Dungy couldn't win with the previous season.....

But Dungy is the better coach?

And here's another question.... since we are giving Tony Dungy full credit for handing Gruden over a SB caliber team, Does Gruden get credit for turning the Raiders (the team he defeated in said Superbowl) over to Bill Callahan?

How about all the years that Dungy couldn't get Indianapolis over the hump with FAR superior talent? No mention of that? Do you think it would take Gruden 5 tries to win the big one with that roster?

Not for nothing, but if it it took Dungy 5 tries to win a championship with the likes of Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrison (among others), then what is a realistic amount of time to expect Jon Gruden to win one while strapped by salary cap constraints.

Having to wear that neon pink uniform for so many years will do that to a guy.

"colonialhead...how u like living in murfreesboro??took recruiting trip to mtsu back in the day..cool town i thought"

It has it's ups and downs browardcane. I don't really like being land-locked. I grew up near the water and then joined the Navy, so I'm used to being near water. MTSU is a good time though. If you don't mind watching the SunBelt Conf, you can have a good time at Blue Raider games.

Tenuta is going to make Notre Dame's defense a top 20 unit.
Jimmy Clausen doesn't have underweight Freshmen protecting him anymore.
A 3-9 season has a way of forcing teams to improve, and Charlie Weis has shown every indication of understanding where changes were necessary and implementing those changes to improve the 2008 campaign. In other words, he seems to have learned from his mistakes in 2007.

I think Notre Dame is going to surprise a few people and show major strides in 2008. I predict that they will go to a bowl game this year and they will be a pre-season top ten in 2009.

It's unfortunate that Weis gets such a bad rap for having one terrible season. Especially when he had this team overachieving the previous two. It's also humorous to me that so many people tend to look past the fact that college recruiting has a 2-3 year lag time.

Anyone who can't look at Ty Willingham's last two recruiting classes and see that those same mediocre players were all being relied upon for the bulk of Notre Dame's production last year is missing the big picture.
Posted Sunday May 04, 2008, About: Will Irish join football conference?
Notre Dame is the most storied program in college football history. They could go 0-12 and NBC would still be covering the games and half the country would still be tuning in every Saturday afternoon. Which is why you see so many ND haters come out of the woodwork to comment whenever an article like this is written. You'll never see another university get the exposure and the attention that Notre Dame gets. They have the largest fan base and the largest hater base of any football program in the country. That tells you something.

Notre Dame will never need to join a conference.
