Posted Monday August 31, 2009, About: Inside Michigan's alleged illegal workouts

Every school does it. Does it make it right? No. I worked for years at a DIII school. They exceeded the limit by a huge margin all the time. I must add, they were the norm, not the exception. It is the price of wanting to succeed. I mean, the coaches would film the illegal workouts. The NCAA connot monitor it, so they all do it.

Posted Monday August 17, 2009, About: Source: Record offer not enough for Strasburg

The Nattionals are not messing up anything. They have made a very impressive offer, far more than I would for a player that has as many big league stikeouts as me. He'll regret it. One can't get back a year lost, or in his case a year's salary lost.

Posted Wednesday May 13, 2009, About: Report: USC's Floyd paid Mayo

$1000.00 seems pretty cheap, actually very cheap. It is so low of an amount that I fail to believe the story.

Posted Monday April 06, 2009, About: Hansbrough falling in draft

He reminds me alot of Keith Van Horn. Only he actually plays harder. Can help a team get over the hump. Double figures in points and about 7 boards per game. Also, he'll improve because he is a worker.

Posted Monday April 06, 2009, About: Hansbrough falling in draft

Hey, he's not gonna be a franchise player, but he's going to be good enough to help a team get to the top. Non- stop motor, decent hands and range, isn't afraid to bang around, and will learn. I see him as a double figure scorer, and a 7-8 rebounder per game. He can make a team better if put in the right role.

Posted Tuesday February 03, 2009, About: Too much talent hurting USC's recruiting?

I'm suprised that it's taken so long to catch up to them. It has ben happening for sometime now. The proof is in how many "mid-major" teams are getting better. Kids don't want to go somewhere and wait to get on the field. There are so many studs out there in high school, more and more each year, but only 120 DI choices to choose from.

Posted Tuesday January 20, 2009, About: Hope tourney on last legs?

I think if they go to a 4 day event, and say, play 2 days with the celebs they can save it. Also cut ti down to 2 courses, with only one being for the last two rounds. It is a unique event, and I for one, would hate to see it go, but I also realize where the competitors are coming from. The article says volumes about the changes in, not only the tour, but the players themselves.

Posted Tuesday January 20, 2009, About: Gruden to Notre Dame?

Never say never! Remember, they hired a HIGH SCHOOL guy once

Posted Friday January 02, 2009, About: Jet: Favre was aloof teammate

Hey, I'm a Packer fan, and thought it was time for Brett to step down after last season. Judging by his actions and lack of inter-action with his team, he should ride off into the sunset now. He's old and beat up. He may be able to play good for a half a season, but like this season will cost any team a fair shot at winning enough games to be in the playoffs.

Posted Tuesday December 30, 2008, About: Terrell Davis calls T.O. 'a cancer'

Terrel Davis was a pros pro. 2000 yds in a season, Superbowl MVP, and the only reason you knew who he was is because he wasa great player and not a loudmouth!

Posted Sunday December 14, 2008, About: Source: Patterson talking to Auburn

Hey, 5 and 19 is pretty good!!! Kind of reminds me of the Jets firing Pete Carroll to hire Rich Kotite.

Posted Sunday December 07, 2008, About: Martz linked to San Diego State job

I think he'll always be looking to get back to the NFL. I also think he's too arrogant for a school like SD State.

Posted Thursday December 04, 2008, About: Why Notre Dame kept Weis

Who is on the schedule next season? Are they going to try to win the Commander in Chief trophy again?

Posted Monday December 01, 2008, About: Notre Dame waiting for Urban window?

ND didn't get him the last time, what makes anyone think he wants to go there now? That's right everyone, Charlie wasn't who they wanted, he was second choice, and now you can see why!

Posted Sunday November 30, 2008, About: USC rout puts Weis on chopping block

Deion Warrick, ND has already done that! Ask them how they can fire a guy after 3 seasons. Not to mention this is season #4 for Charlie(and believe it or not he was recruiting when he was still with the Pats) and they have sunk lower than when his predeccessor got the ax!

Posted Sunday November 30, 2008, About: USC rout puts Weis on chopping block

Is it Charlie, or is it the fact that ND is no longer a player in the bigtime? It's probably both. They need to join a conference, as the days of the independent powers are gone.

Posted Sunday November 30, 2008, About: Teammate helped Plaxico hide gun

What a punk!!! He should have had the gun go of on his genitals so he won't be able to reproduce someone like himself!

Posted Wednesday November 26, 2008, About: Sources: Weis' buyout smaller than expected

Hey, they bought the whole line of Charlie Weiss' bravado. Now they have to live with it. He can coach, he just has to get out of the way of his ego. I can't blame him for taking a big money 10 year deal, I blame ND for doing it. As far as recruiting, it hasn't lived up to expectations, the proof is on the field!

Posted Thursday November 13, 2008, About: Notre Dame AD: Weis not on firing line

Hey, Notre Dame is not the football mecca it once was, and perhaps the AD is starting to see that. Let Charlie alone, he's not the answer, but he's not the problem either. ND's image of themselves is the problem.

Posted Thursday November 13, 2008, About: Yankees intend to blow Sabathia away

The Yankees will always try to buy the "hot" free agent. If I were them I'd get rid of some of the older, underachieving "superstars and go after CC. I would also move Jeter to 1st base.

Posted Tuesday November 11, 2008, About: Weis in trouble at Notre Dame?

Notre Dame is today what Army and Navy were in the early 60's. A program living in the past on tradition. Being an independent is not working either. They need a conference to compete in. How long is NBC going to air a mediocre program exclusively? As for Weis, he had ND over a barrell, and they gave in. 10 year contract? The recruits are to slow where they need speed, and a little to small where size is needed. He did have 4 years to recruit, don't think he wasn't when he was still with the Pats.
