Jason Witten is coming back to the Dallas Cowboys. Good news for the Cowboys, the NFL, for ESPN, and football fans who watch Monday Night Football.. As dynamic a Cowboys tight end as Witten was for 15 seasons, he was just that bland as a well-paid analyst on MNF. People is Bristol knew it, wanted […]
The Colts front office and coaching staff are boring. Fans should love it. Sure, it would be more fun to write and talk about a team in total disarray with a rampaging buffoon clumsily running the show. Arguing with people bad at running sports franchises is fun for the media. This is not that. General […]
Here’s what ESPN’s Sage Steele tweeted about IU fans leaving Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall early Tuesday night: ..And now I’m seeing how many fans have left..what?! A struggling team on the verge of a big, much-needed win, in double OT..what’s going on at Assembly Hall?! I don’t care how much we’ve been struggling, you NEVER. […]
Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery went off the rails – again – last night. According to a report in the Toledo Blade, after Iowa’s 90-70 loss at Ohio State, McCaffery followed referee Steve McJunkins down a hallway and screamed, “You cheating m—-rf—-r! You’re a f–k–g disgrace!” Sadly, the disgrace is McCaffery. I’ve always found McCaffery to […]
It’s easy to make fun of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the charges that he was physically serviced twice in 17 hours on January 19th and 20th at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida. That the second visit took 15 minutes from the time he walked in the door to […]
There is no sure-fire strategy to succeed at scoring the basketball. For teams with good players at all five spots, ball movement and selflessness works. For teams with one dynamic player, a good player, and three who can’t shoot, the ball needs to be controlled by the star. It’s tough when there is a single serious […]
A Georgia fan threw a small stuffed bulldog toward a Mississippi State player about to shoot a free throw with 1/2 second left in a tie game. Georgia coach Tom Crean ran to the scorer’s table, grabbed the PA microphone, and admonished the fans. The referees convened and assessed a technical foul for fan behavior. […]
The chants were audible throughout the game as IU fans expressed their disdain for Purdue center Matt Haarms, “***k you, Haarms!” I have no problem with yelling at opposing players – it’s part of the fun of going to the game. I have no problem with profanity – skillfully used, it can punctuate a point and get […]
Keion Brooks Dad tweeted this update about his recruitment yesterday: It’s not over but getting close! Recruiting doesn’t start until the parents and player start asking all the hard questions. #noFluff — Keion Brooks (@keion_brooks) February 18, 2019 And I don’t care. He’s the 38th ranked player in the 2019 class, so he’s highly sought […]
Indiana fans are mad – rightly mad. The season that started with such promise has unspooled into a hideous chaos of passivity, stoicism, and malaise. At 12-2, Indiana looked like a team that could overcome its obvious flaws to post wins. As the Hoosiers posted consecutive wins against Northwestern, Penn State, Louisville, and Butler in December […]
