Just listening to the Peter Gammons interview with A-Rod. And I have some questions. Why didn't Gammons push him further? Didn't A-Rod sound like he was following a script? Doesn't he understand that the fans will forgive him if he is totally honest? Giving...

I can't wait until five years from now when we are laughing at this quote from Ian Thomsen's article... Oklahoma sophomore power forward Blake Griffin. The 6-10, 250-pound Griffin is the consensus No. 1 pick and a potential All-Star. "He's not a polished offensive...

I think fans would love Kobe Bryant so much more, if only he would quit trying to be just like Mike. We get it, you idolize MJ, but do you have to imitate him in everything you do??

Probably won't happen, but I wanted any paranoid Butler fan to google this and actually get a result. Actually, I'd love to have him as our coach. But it won't happen. Oh, one man can dream can't he.....

Prevent or not to prevent....that is the question. The answer is...it doesn't matter. Arizona proved that if you play your regular defense, they'll just send Fitzgerald over the middle. Pittsburgh proved that a prevent isn't always the way to go. So does it just break down...

Have you ever noticed that Gonzaga will always have one white guy on their team with floppy hair? And the guy is usually pretty good. Caught some of the Gonzaga-OK State game last night. The current floppy haired Bulldog is pretty good. He'll probably fall in line with some of...

Just a quick update. Let's watch this quote and see if it happens. 'We're going to get better. We're going to be a better team in January than we are right now. We've come out here (to Maui) and played three good halves and one terrible half, the second half against...

I know you are tired of reading about why we don't have a college football playoff. And right now, I know there are very few articles out there clamoring for one. Except for our president-elect, it seems to be a dead issue. But just wait. If Oklahoma beats Texas Tech this weekend...

I've noticed something going on with Tide fans the last couple of weeks that we need to address. It all became quite clear during halftime of Alabama's win over Mississippi State Saturday night. Just in case you just woke up from a coma, the Tide is now 11-0, has clinched a...

Those were Javy Arenas's exact words after the game. Hilarious! An overtime win is just another day in the park. I don't think so.... Because of a wedding, I was unable to watch the whole game. I was able to catch most of the game on TV and for the first time this year, had...
