We all heard it. We all read it. We all saw it. The sports media's seemingly endless bashing of Tim Tebow before this year's draft was outrageous. The guy may not be the next Peyton Manning, but to hear Mel Kiper tell it, he's some hack off the street who's ...Published on: 25th March, 2010

Congratulations to Alabama. You are a worthy champion. You guys had a great year and you deserve it. No doubt about it. You beat the best to get there.

But before you start believing your idiots like Finebaum and Crittendon, stop and assess for a minute. First, you still ...Published on: 14th December, 2009
We've seen it too often now to just dismiss it as coincidence. The Heisman jinx is too real to be ignored. How many times have we seen this already? The team who's guy wins the Heisman gets beat in the Bowl game. Let's count. 2008 Sam Bradford: Many thought Tim Tebow should ...Published on: 12th December, 2009
You know who you are. You're the "Urban will be at Notre Dame next year" crowd. The people who were hoping and praying that Notre Dame was still Urban Meyer's "dream job" because as long as he's at Florida, your team has no chance. Well now that your little pipe ...Published on: 7th December, 2009
Every year at this time we hear the moaning. Is it from eating too much turkey leftovers? No. Is it from too much apple pie? Nope. Too much egg nog? Uh uh. No it's the we-hate-the-college-football-postseason crowd. "It's not fair! It's Not Fair! Get Washington involved, (not the Huskies, the ...Published on: 4th December, 2009
To coach Bobby Bowden: Thank you for everything you've done for the game, the state of Florida, Florida State University, and the fans. The game won't be the same without you. College football is the best sport in America, and you greatly helped establish that. Which brings me to my point. New Year's ...
