Brown Bag it, Baby
Sometimes you have to look at yourself in the mirror, be honest, and ask yourself, “Can I really do better than that?” If Mississippi State were to ask themselves that question regarding their head football coach, my answer would be …
When a guy throws 46 touchdowns in a season, it’s pretty hard to narrow down his very best plays. That’s why I’m guessing the following play will standout in Sam Bradford’s highlight reel at the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New …
It’s a shame I don’t crank these bad boys out prior to the Thursday games, because I can promise you the Eagles would have been one of my picks. That’s the thing about McNabb — the guy thrives under circumstances of adversity. …
A lot of people, myself included, wondered what Lane Kiffin was thinking when he took the Raiders job. Nobody lasted there longer than like two years, and nobody had a positive experience working for Al Davis. It was a miserable gig where one was …
Even if Chad Ocho Cinco’s making millions, you can bet for sure that the money hasn’t gone to his head. How else do you explain this photo? Well, I guess you can’t accuse the guy of being lazy. Funny thing is, he was trying to buy a …
They’re just blowing smoke, playing the game. See, the Angels’ real target is Mark Teixeira — he’s the one that really beefed up their team and rounded out their lineup. Adding Sabathia would just make the Angels pitching …
Almost as inherently as I’m drawn to the points category in a basketball boxscore, I’m interested in the field goals made and the field goals attempted by a player. For instance, 30 points is great and all, but how spectacular is it if …
This was easily one of the best highlights of the day in Maui. Texas and Notre Dame squared off in an excellent battle between two highly-ranked teams. Notre Dame won a nail-biter, with Luke Harangody going 29 and 13 as usual. Despite his strong …
And we can’t even use the excuse that they were just trying to keep warm since it took place indoors. In case you missed it because it was played late on Saturday night, Iowa trounced Minnesota 55-0 to retain the Floyd of Rosedale. With the …
I guess when you haven’t had a winning record since the days Terry Bradshaw was quarterbacking the Steelers, you’re bound to start thinking outside the box. Not only have the Pirates thought outside the box, GM Neal Huntington has swooped …
Man, you know that great feeling when you do something for the first time after working on it for years? Run a mile in under six minutes, nail that hot chick from the office, knock out a 20-pound hamburger? Or how about finally scoring your first …
Back at the beginning of the season when Joey Porter was dropping bombs on Matt Cassel, I took Porter’s side; Cassel hadn’t started since his days at Chatsworth in high school and had no experience. Heck, he had even switched to tight end …
I just can’t even imagine what the best caption for this photo would be. There’s the corny “Ravens sure have a good grip on things.” Maybe an “Eagles crack under pressure.” All I know is that there’s a bunch …
Every time I see an NFL player with long hair, I wonder how they play like that, and I also wonder how they don’t have their hair yanked at all times. I don’t consider it dirty — I just consider it a part of the jersey. Now my idea …
The inevitable happened: Oklahoma beat Texas Tech in Norman creating a three-way tie for the Big 12 South lead. Texas beat Oklahoma on a neutral field, Texas Tech beat Texas in Lubbock, and Oklahoma beat Texas Tech in Norman. Those were each …
So much for the delusions of an 8-4 season and surge to prominence under Charlie Weis and his “number one recruiting classes in the country.” Notre Dame suffered its 5th and no doubt most embarrassing loss of the season Saturday, getting …
