UCLA Settles on Rick Neuheisel

That’s Neuheisel — N-E-U-H-E-I-S-E-L. Better get it straight since it’s the name I’ll be pounding into the keyboard incessantly over the next several years. And I have to say, I am quite satisfied with the hire. I think …

Vinny Testaverde Will Be Missed

Just as I was making fun of the Niners for starting Chris Weinke at quarterback and brought up a Vinny reference, the news comes across the wire that My Grandpa will be retiring at season’s end. In other words, he’s done after Sunday. I …

Niners Starting Chris Weinke, Yikes!

I had my share of fun with the Panthers when they brought Vinny Testaverde in to play QB. Now, the Niners have completed the circle of embarrassment by naming Chris Weinke their starter this week. (Note: if I were around, I most certainly would have …

Saban vs. Petrino: Worst Game Ever?

This morning on the radio, my man Chris Moore made mention of Saban and Petrino when discussing Rich Rodriguez leaving West Virginia for Michigan. When the two coach against each other in the SEC for an Alabama/Arkansas game, for whom do you root? In …

Jim Leyritz’s Legacy Appears Ruined

From World Series hero and likable dude to all of a sudden a reported vehicular manslaughter suspect. WPLG in Miami says Leyritz was arrested and is being held for possible vehicular homicide and suspicion of DUI. Police said Jim Leyritz was behind …

Linkage: Crazy LSU Fans

LSU fan gets court trial postponed to watch the title game [100% Injury Rate] Bloggers list of the top 40 sports figures of 2007 [Yahoo! Sports] Kentucky student Rich Brooks gets the coach’s hate mail [SPORTSbyBROOKS] Unfortunately we …

Champ Bailey Puts Rivers in His Place

I totally whiffed on this story from the weekend, probably because I missed all the games and highlights. Philip Rivers was caught on camera jarring with Jay Cutler late in the 4th quarter of San Diego’s easy win over Denver. Just like Signal …

Holiday Bowl Ruining Pac-10’s Rep

Every single year, one of the bowls that always catches my attention is the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. By nature, it’s an exciting game since it pits the 2nd place team in the Pac-10 against the 3rd place team from the Big 12. That means …

Padres Wisely Gambling on Mark Prior

ESPN, whose reporter Buster Olney wrote up the news of Prior’s agreement to a one-year, $1 million deal with San Diego, has a great graphic on Prior. In 2003, he won 18 games and finished third in NL Cy Young voting. In 57 starts since then, …

Sydney Australia Gets NFL Network

It took me traveling halfway across the world to finally catch an NFL Network televised game. I live in Los Angeles which is where the NFL Network is based, but my local cable system does not offer the channel. In Australia however, 17 hours ahead in …

Comparing Moss to Jerry Rice’s Record

As the Pats head into the final weekend of the regular season, they are poised to break several records. With a win, they will become the first team to go 16-0 in the regular season, joining the ’72 Dolphins as the only team to finish the …

Linkage: Congrats to Larry Johnson

I missed a lot of good stuff the past few weeks, but here is my feeble attempt to highlight some of the better stories from the blogosphere while I was out. Let’s start with this classic video courtesy of Deadspin to get you warmed up (give it …

Scott Skiles: Undeserving Fall Guy

Yes, with this post, I am back. In time, I’ll throw up some pics and videos from the LBS Global Growth Trip 2007, but for now, I’ll keep it to sports. It just boggles my mind that a man who received decent consideration for the Coach of …

When Kangaroos Interrupt Rory Sabbatini on the Golf Course

OK, told you I might be checking in with a post here and there. This video got passed along to me with such high praise that I had to take a peak. It’s hilarious, and I guess semi-NSFW after about the 30 second mark, depending on the stance …

LBS on Vacation

That’s right folks, for the first time since the launch of the site back in January, and really, the first time since Winter Break ’02, LB will be taking a little vacation. I am off on a mission to broaden the horizons of LBS and reach …

Patriots and Dolphins Are Making it a Dream Season

This could go down as the greatest season in the history of the NFL. As we stand, the Patriots are 13-0, three short weeks away from perfection. The Miami Dolphins are 0-13, also three short weeks away from perfection. With New England, you saw them …
