Holy Crud! It is the first of September. Wow, this is the homestretch everyone. We only have 4 months of the year left.
This weekend is Labor Day, but the stores are already looking ahead to the next holiday. The Halloween stuff is already in the stores. I was inside the local Atlantic and Pacific and an entire aisle of decorations are already up. I already know that right before Halloween hits, they will start to sneak some Christmas things on the shelf as well. Was it always this way? Or did I just not notice as a kid? Just seems that when you get older, everything smushes together. It seems like eons ago thinking about anything from before my 20th birthday. But the last decade seems to be one long year. I swear the Pistons won the NBA title last year.
Didn’t Ty Law play at Michigan under Gary Moeller? He’s been around the block. Bet ya Moeller made them skip classes to practice and to go the bar.
My high risk high reward pick in my first draft was Carson Palmer, dude still isn’t ready to play.
Speaking of that league, here are the draft results. Carson would be my key. Otherwise, my team sucks.
The easiest job in football is still in place for Jim Sorgi.
The NFL Network has done a fine job of placing tolerable individuals in their analyst chairs (except for Deion). So what the hell were they thinking when the hired Michael Irvin?
One of the best stories of the last few years involved Onterrio Smith. That will be the weirdest piece of sports memorabilia.
I haven’t said much on the Rich Rodriguez/Michigan investigations, mostly because I really didn’t think much would come of it. I still don’t think anything will, as far as consequences from the school or the NCAA. However, Rich Rod is having a really hard time dealing with a real program. Whether or not those tears were real, man is in bad shape. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Lane Kiffin has decided the best thing to do was lineup a freshman next to his All-American and future Heisman trophy winner.
Anything that touts a Big 12 defense is good for an early morning laugh.
Vandy wants back-to-back bowl births, and if Bobby Johnson can lead them to that, he should win coach of the century.
If Minnesota gets a date with Notre Dame, the NCAA should just recognize Notre Dame as a Big 10 team. That would put a 4th team on the Irish schedule from the conference.
Jason Whitlock is apparently not thin-skinned enough (insert fat joke here). He isn’t too happy about it, as he make it known in the comments.
Which one of you brought down Major League Jerk? I told Spencer that Miz was behind it, told him that it makes sense since Miz works for the gov’t.
Donovan McNabb is saying the Vick in the offense is just a gimmick. Mmmmhmmm.
OSI WALKED OUT!!! But it’s all gravy.
Let’s get some love for Chris Carpenter.
Um, yes? This was a trick question. Right?
Some fantasy football advice, receiver style. I think Megatron is going to have a huge year. HUUUUUGE.
Finally, have you signed up for Sparty & Friends College Pick’em? No? Do it, or Big D will do….something or not.

Bobby Johnson already does more with less than any other coach in the country.

here’s some fantasy football advice: fantasy football is ghey.

i don’t know miz. any coach that gets a military academy to a bowl game is pretty damn impressive. not only do they have to deal with high academic standards, but they sure as hell can’t recruit any hosses to play on their defensive or offensive lines. their teams are tiny compared to who they play most weeks.

Agreed. Plus he’s in the SEC!
(Quote)
Sparty, I agree. But look at Navy’s schedule compared to Vandy’s.
(Quote)
I know the argument is tired and old, but it’s not really arguable that the SEC is the toughest conference most years. Vandy has to play an SEC schedule every year and the fact that they can compete for a bowl bid is impressive…more impressive to me than a service academy actually going to a bowl.
just an opinion, don’t have any hard data to back it up.

so…ummmmm…Brett Favre looked pretty good last night.

I’d look good at QB with Peterson and Harvin on my team

how ’bout percy harvey short arming that touchdown pass and not bringing it in. I bet he was high.

-4 for mentioning him.

they are midgets!

No doubt he was high, but it wasn’t like he robbed a bank while high.

I know…You can’t have 300 pound guys in the military.

Thome now dressing in Dodger blue. We’ll see how that works out. We need something to stall our 2nd half collapse.

Guys get to 300 lbs by using PEDs. O’lines used to average 270-280 lbs. and it wasn’t like guys didn’t lift weights back then.
(Quote)
no, but they weren’t training from pee wee football on, like they do today.
PED’s aren’t the reason guys are 300 lbs, modern training and eating 10k calories per day most likely are.
(Quote)
spencer, might be a lot of truth to that. but some of these kids 265LB-275lb guys when they graduate high school. not from the end of their senior season, but graduation. then they balloon to 315 by the start of their freshman year. i guess it is possible, but not 100% sold on that.

i shot up 4 inches and gained 20 lbs between my senior year of HS and my freshman year of college. there’s a few factors that you have to consider…these guys are genetic freaks, the 99th percentile of americans. they’re at a time of their lives when a body’s production of growth hormone is very high. they get the best training and are on strict diets, for the most part. this is all extremely conducive to massive growth.
but the other…where are they getting the roids from? there’s no way the schools are providing them, no way boosters are, and there’s maybe 1/3 of the kids who could afford em. im not completely discounting the possibility of PED usage, but i doubt it’s widespread.
(Quote)
same, i don’t think it is a big issue. however, how these kids eat and train is killing them young.

The fact that he is even pitching this year is a bit of a surprise to most Cardinals fans. And when he went out with the oblique tear early in the season, we uttered a collective, “oh shit. here we go again.” But, he has come back with that f- you attitude towards the opponents, which makes him dangerous. It almost looks like he’s shanneling his inner Bob Gibson out there.
