Undoubtedly was a popular National Championship pick at the beginning of the year.
Flash forward to today, and it was looking like a likely Sun Bowl matchup.
Now? Well, USC may still roll into El Paso, but Oklahoma is looking less worthy of the Sun Bowl.
Seriously.
Yes, OU has been...

The Broncos ran for 323 yards in a 52-21 rampage over Utah State and are just two games away from an undefeated season and another BCS Bowl berth.
Are they really the #6 team in the country? That’s debatable, but granted, every ranking in college football is.
I’d love to...

In fact, rumors are swirling that The Mangino will not be the coach for Kansas when they play at Texas Saturday night and will be fired tomorrow morning.
The Mangino, however, says that people are just trying to get their 15 minutes of fame at his expense.

Not only was Thierry Henry offsides on the goal that sent France to the World Cup in extra time, but he palmed the ball twice, and so obviously, he would have been called for carrying in the NBA. Unreal. A total and complete disgrace to the game. A shocking example of cheating by a player [...]

GREAT seats still available…
I have been pre-occupied with with Memphis’ awfulness and the Iverson situation, what with me still sorta being a Grizzlies fan, but at 2-8, Memphis is not the worst team in the NBA. Far from it. And not the only offender in the passed-on-Brandon...

The current international break may hit Arsenal the hardest. With Chelsea about to face the loss of all of their African players, ManU not in sync, and Liverpool playing laughable football, Arsenal looked to be the favorite for the premiership this league. Robin Van Persie going down...

That’s about as excited as you’ll see me get over Zack winning the AL Cy Young award.
Sure, I guess this was the perfect chance as a Royals fan to enjoy something. Of course, that something was from an abysmal season that failed to meet modest expectations, but it was at...

It seemed to make sense to post this closer to the actual award since people probably don’t care about the Cy Young beyond the day it’s announced. So …
1. Zack Greinke, SP, KCA: 16-8, 229.3 IP, 2.16 ERA, 26.4% SO%, 4.4 SO/FP

Yeah, that 55 over the weekend (amassed in the last three periods solely) was an eye-opener. And then some. Good enough that I went searching out the Bucks/Mavs game last night (doing anything possible to avoid Browns/Ravens) and found it on NBA tv.
The over-riding impression from...
NFL “Interesting Decision”: Bengals in the Larry Johnson Business

He’s apparently in the fold, or about to be. Marvin Lewis says that Johnson is fully aware that he will be inactive most gamedays unless Ced Benson, Bernard Scott or Brian Leonard can’t go. If so, and if Johnson is on board with that, truly on board, it is a good signing...

Over.
Sadly. I feel the depths of the unintentional awkwardness were only just touched. There was a vast reserve of painful that we are all denied the pleasure of viewing. That’s a global loss. We need to stand together and mourn as a collective human consciousness.

Controversial decision? Check. Unconventional decision? Check. Worked out quite poorly? Check. Might as well fire up the CHB-signal in the skies above Boston. Dan Shaughnessy in the Boston Globe, you’re up:

That was a rather epic Colts/Pats game last night. Even for those two teams who have played a series of memorable games this decade. And this one will be remembered for Bill Belichick’s riverboat gamble late in the fourth quarter. Especially because it backfired rather spectacularly...

A great read in today’s USA Today about increased athletic spending as a result of football success at D-1 universities.
Ok, so maybe I’m only recommending it because Missouri’s the focus. But still, read it.

Two things:
1. Re: the Memphis debacle and the Chris Wallace jokes. Stop. Wallace might indeed be the world’s worst GM, but you cannot base that on what is happening in Memphis right now, because Wallace has about as much to do with what’s happening on the court in terms...

After running the ball just 14 times while Johnson was suspended for yesterday’s loss, the Chiefs have officially released LJ.
Honestly, I hope someone immediately picks him up and he does really well, if for nothing other than to rub it in Todd Haley’s face.

….as an infomercial for Mike Vick.
Last night, in the ahead of yet another game where Philly would be crazy to have actually used Mike Vick, Dungy was peddling his stock of Vick wares again on the pre-game show, pushing the idea of Vick to Buffalo next year.
