We are getting close to kickoff. As we look forward to another year of SEC football I am getting ready to do some college football writing for Vigilante Sports. I happen to be a person who thinks that in college football there is one conference that is very special, and that is the [...]

SEC Intro
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007M’s need to add some fire
Monday, July 30th, 2007Watching the Mariner’s beat the Oakland A’s yesterday was one of the best baseball experiences of the year for me. It was turn back the clock day at Safeco and after a scorcher on Saturday the weather was more in line with traditional Seattle weather†cool, cloudy and perfect for baseball. The game [...]
Please welcome a new correspondent, Jared Stoneberg
Monday, July 30th, 2007Coming to you from high atop Capitol Hill, here in Seattle is our newest contributor to Vigilante Sports, Jared Stoneberg. A man with a strong affinity for SEC football (I think I just threw up in mouth a little), newly into fantasy baseball, and likes to sit in section 192 and watch a plain ole [...]
Lance Briggs sees the value of actually playing football
Thursday, July 26th, 2007Lance Briggs is still a baby, but at least he’ll be a baby in a Chicago Bears uniform this football season. Briggs who was tagged as a franchise player in March vowed to never play for the Bears again. He demanded that the Bears either remove the tag, or trade him. What a punk. Of [...]
Peanut around until 2013
Thursday, July 26th, 2007The Bears have locked both of their starting cornerbacks up for a long time. Tuesday the Bears signed Charles “Peanut” Tillman to a contract through 2013. Nathan Vasher signed a 5 year contract extension earlier in the summer.
Peanut has definitely been burned on big plays, but he is a solid corner, and he definitely [...]
Bonds connects for 752 and 753 at Wrigley, and the Giants still lose
Thursday, July 19th, 2007How appropriate. The Giants are a team that is going nowhere. They have a juiced-up old man swatting balls out of the park, and can’t string a couple of wins together. Today Bonds went deep on the first pitch he saw, and then barely hit number 753 into the basket. The Giants couldn’t take the [...]
Cubs trade for Jason Kendall
Monday, July 16th, 2007Cubs trade Rob Bowen and minor league left hander Jerry Blevins for Jason Kendall and cash considerations. Bowen was acquired in a trade earlier this year when the Cubs sent embattled catcher Michael Barrett to the Padres for Bowen. Blevins was the 17th round selection of the Cubs in the 2004 Amateur draft.
Jim Hendry [...]
All part of the experience
Monday, July 16th, 2007Editor’s note: And now a break from my normal drivel. This is a post from my better half, Mollie. She is a blogger of a different variety (that is to say she talks about actual important things in life) over at One/Change. I couldn’t be happier to lend some of my blogspace to her. Quite [...]
Mark Cuban puts in an application to buy the Cubs
Friday, July 13th, 2007I’m not sure how I feel about this yet? But I do know that Mark Cuban has a lot of money, and he likes to win.
Interestingly enough, those are 2 things that I want in the owner of my favorite baseball team. What I don’t want, is for the Cubs turn into National League [...]
Ichiro signs contract extension through 2012
Friday, July 13th, 2007The Mariners did not let the unthinkable (losing their franchise player) happen. They locked up Ichiro for 5 years and will pay him $90 million. One thing we all know about Ichiro is that he remains healthy. He has played in 98.5% of the Mariners games since the start of the 2001 season.
Ichiro’s skills [...]
