Caleb King Reportedly Academically Ineligible, Georgia Bulldogs Doomed
When it rains, it pours . . . literally. After posting a fanshot on the CBS report that Caleb King will be academically ineligible for the 2011 college football season and setting up the corresponding open comment thread, I set about packing the car for the trip home from Sarasota, at which point...
Should the "Greatest Fans In College Football" Signs Be Removed From Memorial Stadium?

Losing My Religion: Why Georgia Bulldogs Fans Should Abandon All Hope

Thome Makes Entire White Sox Organization Look Like Fools, Signs With Twins for Pennies
150M Pennies Unlike yesterday, when the words just flowed from my fingers to the screen, I don't even want to talk about this. It's just so obviously wrong and stupid that it should cost everyone involved in the decision making process their jobs. Sox Machine points out the ridiculousness of the...

Oklahoma State Cowboys Fans Need to Read More Greek Plays
The word has come down from David Hale that the Cowboys are feeling cocky: Despite growing doubt nationally about the Cowboys, they announce their presence with authority, handing Georgia a 21-point defeat to open the season. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about that passage...
Karri Ramo to KHL, and the Tampa Bay Lightning suddenly lack stability in goal
I like Mike Smith. Really, I do. I think he's got great skills and can be a show-stopper in net when healthy. That being said, not only was the public-over-the-top-vote-of-confidence by Brian Lawton last week misplaced, especially with a goaltender recuperating from Post Concussion Syndrome, but...
