Les Miles will be (eventually) the next coach of the University of Michigan

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

I know he emphatically said that he was the coach at LSU, and the he would be the coach at LSU, and that the media was doing him and his team a disservice by reporting that he would take the job coaching the Michigan Wolverines. He also said that he felt bad for Michigan fans [...]

Wanted: Avid fans at the expense of universal acceptance

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Pats/Giants game will be on the NFL Network.  The ‘Network’ folly began Thursday and it was bound to happen – games that we care to watch are out of the ‘free’ (because we do pay cable bills) TV’s sphere of influence.  If it was on regular TV, the Pats’ last game of the season, the [...]

The NFL Network sucks, revisited

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

As I’ve mentioned previously, I think the NFL Network is a bad idea that is purely a revenue generation scam by the NFL. My problem this week is that I actually want to watch the game “featured” on the NFL Network. The Packers vs. the Cowboys is the biggest game this year, this side of [...]

Cubs re-sign Kerry Wood to a one-year deal

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Woody’s coming back! Monday, the Cubs signed Kerry Wood to a one-year deal worth $4.2 million. He’ll be in the thick of the Cubs closer debate. He worked in 22 games in 2007 out of the Cubs bullpen. He had a 3.33 ERA and a 1-1 record. If Wood can regain the “stuff” he had [...]

Bears getaway with one, on the shoulders of Devin Hester

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

The Chicago Bears did not deserve to win on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. The Bears were outplayed on both sides of the ball. The only reason they were even in the game was that Devin Hester is an amazing returner. For some reason, teams think that they can stop him. Todd Sauerbrun said that [...]

Halloween carry over every seven days…

Monday, November 19th, 2007

(or, why New Englanders give thanks every Sunday)…  How scary are the Patriots?  Think Nosferatu meets The Shining without the suspense, because, after all, you know what’s coming.  Besides the obvious, how about…  – They are the only NFL team that has given up exactly zero points against every single opponent’s opening drive. – Some of the consistently [...]

Michigan’s Lloyd Carr to retire after 13 seasons

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Following Michigan’s loss to Ohio State on Saturday, Lloyd Carr will announce his retirement on Monday. This became increasingly apparent as the season wore on. Carr is 62 years old and has been the head coach at Michigan for 13 years. Michigan is 121-40 under Carr, but he has been lost 4 in a row [...]

Bonds Away!!!!!…

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Bonds is a narcissitic rat that started taking steroids when he saw what McGuire & Sammy did in ’98.  There.  I think we’ll be able to read anything and everything about the indictment and the coming defense pretty much everywhere; after (and during) the deluge of any media glut, I just end up thinking about [...]

Barry Bonds indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Well ladies and gentlemen, the shit finally hit the fan for Barry Bonds. He was indicted Thursday for lying during his testimony to a grand jury about his use of steriods. In the testimony he said that he never knowingly use steriods. This will definitely taint his all-time home record set this year, when he [...]

Ohio States visits the Big House to face Michigan for a trip to the Rose Bowl

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

These teams are in unfamiliar territory. They both enter this game following a loss. Last week Michigan lost to Wisconsin on the road, and the then number 1 ranked Buckeyes got upset when they visited the Fighting Illini. The last time Michigan came into the OSU game following a loss was 1996 (they lost to [...]
