CBS Sports
Frank Helps You Think It All Out is in Vatican City right now- but we took the time to get our ballot in for the poll. Accordingly, this week's BlogPoll is over on CBS Sports.
The great debate is over whether Oklahoma or Texas deserves the spot in the Big 12 Championship game as a stepping stone......

Remiss
I have been a little remiss with Frank Helps You Think It All Out over the Thanksgiving Holiday- but as part of my travels I did get down to the Linc for the Eagles thorough thrashing over the Arizona Cardinals.
Obviously, the Eagles were better than the recent Baltimore debacle. The defense for......

Very Quick Pick
I am on vacation this week (and next)- so I have to make this pick quick.
Frankly, there is not much to say. The New York Post puts Memphis -14 over Tulane- and I think the Tigers are a stone lay-up. Tulane has ceased to be a competetive I-A program. Worse, I have zero confidence the coach can g......

Ask Mr. B!
A re-occurring feature of this blog is an opportunity to ask the wise Mr. B (the sage plush toy pictured just right) any question concerning the future. Today's question: who would you start at quarterback Thursday night?
Kevin Kolb.
Normally in pro football, you don't play the untested kid(s) ......

Swept Away By A Golden Hurricane
This morning finds the Tulane Green Wave +28.5 over Tulsa. Ugh. The hook too; couldn't just make it an even four scores? A long way from the heady days when the Wave was three touchdowns over Army.
And that is just it. In just a month, the Wave has moved some three-four touchdowns south in Vegas......

I Guess We Didn't Lose Exactly
Well, I guess the Eagles didn't lose.
Gosh, that tie with the 1-8 Bengals would be soul-sucking, except that life with Andy has been soul-sucking for four years now. The criticisms are diverse, contradictory: they throw too much, they are too predictable. Lord. How can you be too predictable and......

Clash of the C-USA Titans
I spent most of the summer touting the Tulane Green Wave as a stereotypical two-win outfit: zero plus-style playmakers in an offense friendly League, bad defense, worse special teams. I was marginally talked out of that pessimistic pick by an anonymous e-mail that gently pointed the Wave was sche......

Dragging My Sorry Self Out Of The Linc
Dragging my sorry self out of the Linc Monday morning, I was sort of struck by how you could just sort of call it a wrap on the Eagles campaign this season. I mean, we sort of know all we need to know about this team for 2008. Some teams are enigmas- but not this one. They are exactly what they a......

Week 11
This week's BlogPoll is here.
Due to Penn State's loss, everyone moves up one. I'm surprised I had the Lions "down" further than most. Frankly, I'm putting Penn State behind the mid-major unbeatens. Bosie State, etc. wins that Iowa State game frankly. And the Lions body of work just isn't that g......

The Wave Could Hang In
No team has tortured the Tulane Green Wave over the past few campaigns than the Houston Cougars- one utterly hopeless dispiriting blowout after another.
This year, many ingredients are in place for a repeat performance. Houston, like all plus C-USA teams, can bring the offensive thunder. They ab......

BlogPoll for November
While most of American wrestles with the McCain-Obama match-up, the less sentient among us are wrestling over the Alabama, Penn State and Texas Tech conundrum. Below is my vote for this week's Poll- which you'll be to visit at CBS Sports shortly after noon.
Man, it is a deep one. In the end, I w......

Phandemonium
At 9:58PM last night, the Philadelphia Phillies clinched their World Series championship- sending the city into a frenzy of joy and excitement. "Everything comes to the waiting heart," Chris DeBurgh teaches us. That outpouring emotion extended to my living room in Manhattan as well. After pouring......

No Less Than Nine Patron Saints Of Rain
Have you ever seen the movie Bowfinger? The mantra of that movie is K.I.T.: Keep It Together. And that is what I, and all Philadelphians, find ourselves doing this morning.
Phil Sheridan gets it exactly right: Imagine if someone came to the Phillies in March and offered this proposition: You can......
