A Victory For the Little Guys Everywhere

TCU 21, Wisconsin 19 So last night the little Texas Christian University beat the mighty Wisconsin Badgers. The TCU football team didnt just get a win for the TCU football team. It wasnt even a win just for the university. TCU's win over the BCS Wisconsin team was a win for every non automatic qualifying team who each year gets screwed over. Think back to last year. To avoid another colossal upset of an automatic qualifying team to a non BCS team, the asshats over in the BCS made undefeated B

Scratch that, Favres not retiring

Stop me if youve heard this joke before. Brett Favre is retiring. No wait, hes coming back. Wait, no hes coming back if hes healthy. Yep thats it. Favre says he will return to the Minnesota Vikings if he can recover from his ankle surgery. He also says he never texted his teammates he was retiring. When asked in a rushed interview why Vikings tight end Visante Shiancoe said Favre texted him he was retiring Favre said, "Visante! Oh thats why we love him." So Favre may or may not be coming back

Brett Favre to retire from the NFL

Brett Favre, 40, is set to inform Minnesota Vikings personnel today that he is retiring from the National Football League. Favre retires as the career statistical leader in every major passing category. He will be remembered as one of the, if not the top regular season quarterback to ever play the game. Love him or hate him, Favre was one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He started 285 consecutive regular season games, the record for non kickers. Favre was forced to receive ankle sur

Possible NBA Finals Matchups

Before anyone jumps on the Heat bandwagon, read this. The Miami Heat will not win the NBA Championship because either a. they dont get past the Chicago Bulls or b. they dont beat the LA Lakers. The Lakers have the easiest road back. The only team with a shot to beat them is Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Conference Finals Matchups East 1 Miami Heat VS 2 Chicago Bulls PG Mike Miller VS Derek Rose SG Dwyane Wade VS Taj Gibson SF Lebron James VS Luoul Deng PF Chris Bosh VS Carl

Lebron James to the Miami Heat. Dont hate on the King!

Super Friends at Miami Heat induction So now everyone hates Lebron James. Before his Heat decision, everyone said it was all about the money, and not about winning. On Thursday, Lebron James put away the money and the ego and chose winning. Lebron signed a 6 year/ 110 Million dollar salary. He left about $20 million on the table through a sign and trade. (Oh and how come no one is talking about what the Heat gave up. To sign Bosh and James, the Heat had to give up 3 first round picks and 3 sec

Free agent developments. Mega team in New York?

While it once looked close that Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh would come to Miami, that looks distant now. Miami is in trouble of not getting any of those players now. Lets look at what is close to certain, and then go to the less than certain. Dirk Nowitski It looks like Dirk and the Dallas Mavericks have reached a max deal that will keep Dirk in Dallas for the next 6 years. He is expected to sign July 8, the first day players are allowed to sign. Joe Johnson Johnson has rea

NBA Free Agency. Is Lebron going to Chicago?

So free agency for the NBA starts July 1, 2010. But that doesnt mean people start talking about it then. The 2010 free agency class is the top class in the history of the NBA. The list includes NBA champions, No. 1 overall picks, all stars, olympians, first team all NBAers, and more. Here is a breakdown of where these guys may be headed, listed in order of most alluring to least alluring. 1. Lebron James At the age of 25, Lebron still has no championship. He is looking to compile a suppor

USA out of World Cup. Underachievement or a Job Well Done?

Team USA beats out England for the top spot in Group C. An easy draw ahead. Ghana and Uruguay being the two countries stopping the USA from reaching the Final Four. A favorable draw. Finally, now the USA can rub it in all of Europes face that not only do they dominate baseball, basketball, and American football, they can also compete in football! Then Ghana, the little country that could, stomped all over the US dream. "How the hell are we losing to some third world country no one has every hea

NBA Mock Draft

1. Washington Wizards- PG John Wall, Freshman University of Kentucky John Wall is the consensus #1 overall pick. Lightening speed, he reminds me of Rajon Rondo with a jump shot but without all of the court vision. If he has a stellar season his stat line will be about 10 points and 5 assists a game. If the Wizards can get rid of Gilbert Arenas, it will let Wall shine. I dont see how they will use Wall with newly traded for point guard Kirk Hinrich now on the team. 2. Philly 76ers- SF Evan Turn

Final's Award Ceremony

Courage Award Andrew Bynum is the winner of the courage award. Bynum braved a bum knee to anchor the Lakers and play some nasty defense. Not to mention one wrong landing on his already injured knee could have done him permanent damage. Clutch Award How many times in his career have we seen Derek Fisher pull up at the 3 point line, pull the ball all the way over his head, and swish a three in a pressure situation? While Fisher is a bit too old to be dropping 20 and 10, he can still swish ridic

Albert Haynesworth needs to get off his fat $@!

Last year, the Washington Redskins gave Albert Haynesworth 100 Million reasons to actually try to be a productive player. Apparently, in 2010, $100,000,000 doesn't buy you effort. After being the only Redskin to skip OTAs, Fat Albert has decided to skip mandatory mini camp. Haynesworthless wants a trade because he thinks the Redskins will make him play nose tackle. Im pretty sure if you gave anyone 100 million dollars, they would play nose tackle for the Redskins. Thats not even withstanding

Unknown and Underappreciated

Why cant Case Keenum even get mentioned? You would think a Texas quarterback throwing up numbers like his would get some attention. WRONG! For some reason, ESPN won't even put Keenum of their watch list of QBs in Heisman contention, let alone even put him in the running. In 2008, Case Keenum led the nation in total offense and finished second in passing yards only to Texas Tech's Graham Harrell. In 2009, Keenum scored 48 total touchdowns and had 5800 total yards with a 154.79 passer rating.

NFL Draft News

Jimmy Clausen After being projected to go as high as #4 to the Washington Redskins, Jimmy Clausen falls all the way to the second round to the Carolina Panther at 48. Taylor Mays After falling to the second round to the 49ers, Taylor Mays had some harsh words to say to his former coach at USC, Pete Carroll. Mays was a projected Top 15 draft pick in last years draft. Carroll begged him to stay, insisting he would teach Mays how to become a more complete NFL safety. Instead, Carroll changed

NBA Playoffs Preview

With the NBA playoffs starting Saturday, I would like to preview some first round NBA matchups I find intriguing. East 4 Boston Celtics VS 5 Miami Heat The old/veteran Boston Celtics limp into the playoffs against Dwyane Wade...and the rest of the Miami Heat. This series lies in the hands of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and most importantly Dwyane Wade. For the Celtics to win, Ray Allen has to be hitting his threes. Pierce has to play like he did in the 2007 NBA Playoffs, which culminated in h

NFL Draft

The NFL Draft is fast approaching. While before, it seemed like the St. Louis Rams would draft phenom defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska, it now seems like they are leaning towards Oklahoma quarterback Samuel Bradford. Bradford looked excellent in his pro day (as does everyone in the draft...) and is much bigger than anyone expected. It looks like he has packed on some pounds of hard muscle, needed to take the hits of defensive linemen in the NFL. Ndamukong Suh seems like a lock to go

Donovan McNabb to the Skins

So in return for a 2010 second round pick (37th overall) and a conditional 3rd or fourth rounder in 2011, the Redskins have acquired the 11 year Eagles starter, Donovan McNabb. The Redskins seem to be in a "win this year or bust" kind of mode. Theyve cut a few young guys, and have brought in seasoned veterans like ex Steelers RB Willie Parker and ex Chiefs RB Larry Johnson. The Redskins still havent done anything with the unit that has failed the last two years-offensive line. If McNabb doesnt

Havent posted in awhile

Havent posted for awhile and I wanna voice my opinion on a few things Tim Tebow I love Tim Tebow. Hes awesome. Great guy. But I saw those vids of his new, tighter throwing motion. The guy looks like a kid just learning to throw a football. I hope hes a fast learner, because NFL training camp is going to be tough for him. Tim Tebow's throwing motion is a definete failure for the University of Florida coaches. Why didnt anyone fix the old, whirling motion when he stepped on the campus as the fre

Woe in DC...for now

Woe in DC...for now. The Redskins are horrible. With a 10 point loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, they have cemented themselves as one of the worst teams in the league and completely out of playoff contention. I just cant see how anyone can blame Zorn for all the woes...the Redskins problems start at the top. Dan Snyder, the owner, is horrible. He pays 100,000,000 dollars for a defensive tackle who doesnt play half the snaps in the season, and uses no money to revamp an offensive line ravaged b

Who is Case Keenum?

The University of Houston may just be the best team no one has ever heard. Yesterday, the number two rated offense of last year put the beatdown on the number five team in the nation, Oklahoma State. Case Keenum is the best quarterback EVER who you have not heard of. Last year he threw for more yards than all three of last years Heisman candidates (Bradford, McCoy, Tebow). it will be a shame if he isnt a candidate thid year. If you want to look smart, tell your co workers and your friends that

Heisman Watch

Heisman Watch Sam Bradford's injury effectively knocks him out of Heisman contention. Tim Tebow may be the best college football player in the world but Urban Meyer isnt going to have him throwing when the Gators are up by 60 points, which showed as Tebow only threw 15 passes against Charleston Southern. Olympic sprinters/ running backs Chris Rainey and Jeffrey Demps are to good for Tebow to be able to throw 30 times. Right now Colt McCoy is the front runner. He does the bulk of the work in th

NFL Quick Hits

Jason Campbell: Im rooting for him this year. We heard all the excuses for him this year that his offensive line sucked, the offensive scheme keeps changing, he has small receivers, etc, etc. If he wasnt such a great teammate and such a smart guy with amazing potential, Todd Collins would have kept the job after going 4-0 as a starter in 2007. This preseason the offensive line looks great and Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly are trying to step up. Redskins VS Patriots: I cant wait to see Brian Or

Chad Johnson is the next Jim Thorpe

During yesterday's game against the Patriots, the Bengals normal kicker Shane Graham was out with an injury. Instead of signing another place kicker, they turned to their do-everything, soccer fanatic, diva wide receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson. Chad kicked the game winning extra point and also drilled a kickoff all the way to the ten yard line. I wish we could see this more in football. Peyton Manning should start returning punts! Adrian Peterson should take some snaps at defensive en
