Now I’m of the opinion that the idea of firing a coach in only his second year at a school is idiotic. I don’t care what a school’s tradition is, a coach needs some time to work his system and players in, and he should be given that time.

I'm not sure what exactly is the problem here, but does Sammy Sosa look different to you? Did he have some kind of botched plastic surgery that made his skin change color? Does he have that Michael Jackson disease?

Well I'll commence eating crow now. Earlier today I went out and said that I was pretty sure that Tyrus Thomas was being a baby with his latest injury as just another reaction to him losing playing time this season. Thomas hurt his arm while working out at the Berto Center on Friday...

I've been suspect of Tyrus Thomas and his flu all week. To be blunt, I'm of the opinion that Thomas is full of **** when he says he's sick. I don't think it's a coincidence that after complaining about not getting minutes in the fourth quarter and not having his...

There seems to be a trend starting at the University of Minnesota. The Gophers get a win on Saturday, and then one of their freshman players goes out and gets nailed for underage drinking. Back in September it was freshman linebacker Gary Tinsley who got a bit out of hand while celebrating...

I don't think Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was asking Jay Cutler how his day was going towards the end of the Bears amazingly craptastic 30-6 victory yesterday. However, if my lip-reading is any good, I do believe that was a "**** you" delivered by Ryan in...
