Get Your Head In The Trenches

Most fans could only dream of a refund for witnessing a poor performance -- one man took a literal stab at it.
Imagine a world where professional sports competitions featured your favorite team as the victor -- guaranteed or your money back.
Cleveland fans might salivate at the idea -- however mythical it seems -- but one man has taken it to the extreme. A lawyer has filed a lawsuit against the San Antonio Spurs ... Read More

Many have doubted the traditional quarterback skills of Tim Tebow, but the success of the read option in 2012 may beg for a different approach to the former Heisman winner and others.
The NFL is a quarterback driven league demanding arm strength, intelligence and pocket presence from the elite signal-callers. Nowhere in the equation does professional football allow for ... Read More

The Baseball Writer's have struck again. For the eighth time in their history they've decided that no one is worthy of induction into Cooperstown. 2013 will go down as a blip on the screen.
I've written previously regarding my desire to see Baseball's Hall of Fame include the tainted past (including players who admit to PED use) even if it meant incorporating an "Asterisk Room."

The Crimson Tide's route of the Irish has left us with a paper-doll puppet show as college football's master thesis to the 2013 season.
When there is disappointment in the air, the blame game is close behind -- and in each zinger; an overreaction. So considering last night's BCS extravaganza was a dud, let's get the knee-jerk reaction party ... Read More

Who has the best defense, quarterback, linebackers, or head coach?
The answers to these questions have been analyzed from hundreds of different perspectives in hopes of finding the edge in who will win the 2013 BCS national championship between No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama.
But the answers to these popular questions may not be as important as you think. So what should we really be ... Read More

The opportunity for a public relations disaster is enhanced each time a large-scale tragedy occurs in our country or world.
ESPN is well aware of this and has decided not to refer to the Pistol formation as such for today's Gildan New Mexico Bowl between the Nevada Wolfpack and Arizona Wildcats. Instead, they will refer to it as the "Nevada formation." This, of course, ... Read More

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. That is, assuming you don't win by a score of 107-2.
An Indiana girl's high school basketball game resulted in just that as Bloomington South demoralized Arlington High School, prompting plenty of emotional responses.
Naturally, plenty of fans and parents were enraged, but Ebony Jackson, the coach of the losing team had a barb for the Bloomington ... Read More

A misperception exists in some pockets of American culture that sports and life are somehow disconnected. To these folks, sport is looked upon as a release from life, an activity of leisure and great pleasure that is to be completed apart from the daily grind.

"If you want something done right around here you've got to do it yourself."
While that may not be the exact thoughts of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, his decision to coach the Badgers against Stanford in the upcoming Rose Bowl is something I can relate to -- at least on a much simpler platform: Fatherhood.
It's that moment when your son drops the glove and heads for the ... Read More

"Old Man" football or a high-flying spread attack -- what is the best method to recapture SEC dominance?
Arkansas and Auburn hope they've found the answer in the wake of tumultuous campaigns in 2012 that saw varying degrees of off-the-field coaching issues combined with pathetic performances between the lines. According to ESPN reports, the ... Read More

The end of college football's regular season has come to a close (I didn't forget about you, Army and Navy) and the set up for bowl season has a little bit for everyone to love.
Traditionalists can revel in the BCS national championship matchup between No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama. Proponents of the current BCS system point ... Read More

It seems impossible that we've arrived at this point in the college football season already.
No longer this year will our Saturdays be loaded with an abundance of games to watch. This weekend, conference championship weekend, signals the final calendar day of more college football than we can possibly view at once. In a matter of days we'll be forced to quit cold-turkey until the middle ... Read More

College football playoff proponents and BCS loyalists are looking at the same example but telling two different stories as we close out the 2012 regular season.
On paper, we have the number-one team in the nation -- Notre Dame -- who is also the lone squad eligible ... Read More

If you want a taste of what playoffs will feel like for the 2014 FBS college football season, look no further.
Notre Dame has done their part, after playing a brutal schedule as an independent, finishing the regular season undefeated and an all-but-guaranteed spot in the BCS title game. Their opponent will be decided with the conclusion of the SEC championship game between the nation's number ... Read More

College football randawesomeness packed into 120 seconds or less (reading levels not checked); getting you up to speed on the weekend ahead and dropping you off on a gravel road three miles outside of town.
KNEE AND ELBOW DOWN? TOUCHDOWN!
I usually try to stay away from the NFL when it comes to the TMD, but yesterday's officiating debacle in the Texans ... Read More
