Funny!

Here's a picture of Flordia head coach Urban Meyer receiving a text message last night at the Florida basketball game. I think he just found out that Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin has left UT to coach at USC. Hilarious!

UPDATE: Here's the video . . .

Shocker!

PLEASE tell me that you weren't surprised that Mark McGwire took steroids! Congratulations, Mark! You've confirmed what everyone that follows baseball already new. You took steroids. You've tarnished baseball. I hope you feel better. Baseball will never be the same because of you and all of the roid heads in the MLB. You've broken records. Records that no longer mean a thing. If another player hits 62 home runs, it is no longer an accomplishment. If a player hits 62 home runs now, they don't get a car and a celebration, they get questions and scrutiny. Thanks for tarnishing my favorite sport forever. I hope you got it all off your chest and you feel better about yourself.

NFL Playoff Week 2 Predictions

First off, that was one hell of a game last night between Green Bay and Arizona. There was huge lead, a huge comeback, horrible defense (on both sides of the ball), a missed FG (that should have been a gimme to win the game), an overtime and a defensive TD to end the game when there was no defense by either team all game. Two words . . . instant classic!

My predictions for week 2 of the NFL Playoffs

Arizona at New Orleans (-7): New Orleans gets things fixed following their bad end of the season and win this one and covers 45-24.

Baltimore at Indianapolis (-7): There's a reason why Manning won his 4th MVP this season. Indy wins and covers 35-21.

Dallas at Minnesota (-3): Upset of the weekend. Dallas is playing very good and Favre will throw 2 INT's. Dallas wins 21-14.

New York at San Diego (-7.5): The Chargers are playing great at the right time. Chargers win by the Jets cover 28-24.

WOW!

Two thoughts: A) What a hell of a shot! B)What a way to lose a game!

The Fun Part Of The Season Starts Now

For all basketball fans in state, either the blue ones or the red ones, the best part of the basketball season start now.

Conference season.

The rest is the preseason. It's like the non-conference in football. Some good games, but for the most part we see teams like Houston Baptist and Maryland-Eastern Shore. There's nothing like a good Florida A&M or Texas Pan-American to get your basketball blood pumping.

Now we will see familiar teams with coaches and players that know each other and know their style of play. There are no more guaranteed wins. Anybody can beat anybody. Upsets will happen and tempers will flare. You can't tell me that it is not fun to watch Creighton and SIU battle on the hardwood. That's fun basketball.

So, with the college football and bowl season all but over, here's to the round ball and fun few months until March Madness.
