The Next Tennessee Football Coach Some fervent and deep thoughts on who will succeed Coach Fulmer at Tennessee. Posted Sept. 23, well before Fulmer's ouster (keep that in mind while reading). This SEC blog is zealous and energetic, but also quite rational, civil, and insightful. Complete with decent responses. The discussion drifts off into another zone after a while, but the first half or so is a welcome break from the crazed stuff you run into elsewhere. Recommended reading for Chuck Neinas.

An Open Letter From Roger Ebert To Jay Mariotti Mariotti is an easy target at the best of times, but his abrupt departure from the Chicago Sun-Times, right after they paid his way to China for the Olympics, left his most distinguished now-former colleague more than a little out of joint. And no one writes a screw-you letter like Roger Ebert.

I only know him from the stupid talking heads show on ESPN that comes on before PTI. I didn't like him. So, now I find out he's not just obnoxious, he's also a scumbag. Well, he'll do just fine on TV, then.

Four-time World Champion admits to using steroids.

you know, knowsalittle, i think your comparison - besides being absolutely, from-another-planet absurd - fails on a pretty fundamental level. That being, in _flubber_, they are essentially using a technological innovation to improve the performance of equipment. This isn't cheating, this is just sport: golf, tennis, football, hockey, marathoning and on and on - the entire landscape of the competition is constantly changed by improvements to gear. This is something fundamentally different from using controlled substances to change body musculature, hand-eye coordination, etc.

Don't even get knowsalittle started about Angels in the Outfield. The amount of cheating in that is fucking detestable, and supposedly sanctioned by GOD HIMSELF. It's disgusting, that's what it is.

Well, wfrazerjr, I've been waiting awhile. I figured it was about time. I read this in the paper Smithsonian and have been waiting a month to post it.

Canadian NHL teams mean money The six Canadian teams account for 31 per cent of the $1.1 billion (U.S.) in league ticket revenue, and have gone through league-leading double-digit increases over last season, according to the internal NHL report.

Yeah, I think a lot of the reason is simply that the dollar was so strong compared to the C$ that it made economic sense. Especially as an attempt to turn the sport from essentially US Regional to US national. If the currency trend continues, we might see a shift of hockey teams back where they belong.

Pacman gives Dallas Cowboys a dual threat: This is what Pacman Jones can bring to the Dallas Cowboys on the field if he plays in 2008: A playmaker on defense as a cornerback and on special teams.

MonkeyHawk: You're not joking that you don't have a clue about Nashville, especially if you think that there is nothing to do there or that there's simply nothing there for him to do. Amy Grant concert? Lame.

Kansas Wins National Title... ....although to read the article you would think that Memphis had it gift wrapped.
posted by Tinman at 12:04 AM on April 08
Yeah, how you can call it *boring* is beyond me. I mean, though, you did say you didn't care about either of the teams, so that might be why. Yes. Freethrows. That was the UMem bugbear all season and ,even though it ran off to the shadows during the dance, it came back to strike when I expected it to. (I'm sorry to say) I think, honestly, the gamechanger was Dorsey's fouling out with 2 mins left, and his absence was especially felt in overtime. A fantastic game, but it didn't keep me from being sad all day. Kansas will be there and get it again. Memphis? I might not live to see it.

Team Summaries Leading to Final 4 Committee gets it right as 4 number 1 seeds advance to the Final 4 for the first time in history.

YYM: As everyone has been saying, our [Memphis] fatal flaw is at the line. I think only 2 other schools in all of DI had a worse percentage. But, if we keep shooting like we did last night, not a team in the world can beat us. I mean, 80% is clearly too much to expect, of course, but even 70 or 65 would make the Tigers awfully hard to beat.

Happy 25th, USFL! (or what could've been).

I remember Showboats BBQ, in team colors, natch. Ah, what could have been, indeed! There isn't a hopeless football grail this city won't chase. It is interesting to think of the NFL being in such a weakened position that a rival league could poach first round talent. My memory of those times is not that good.

Greatness.

Or the chance to drink beers with greatness, at any rate.

South Korean soccer players dislocate their shoulders to become draft dodgers Why bother with serving your country when the U.S is there as your minders? Makes me reminisce of my days eating kimchi and swigging ginseng from the bottle.

More Bad Noose for Pro Golf Although the story appeared to be dying down after the Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman apologized to Tiger Woods for her "lynch him" remark, Golfweek has just thrown gas on the fire with its cover story and illustration.

Why don't you (bleeping) block somebody, Gonzalez. A superb Joe Posnanski column from the Kansas City Star. As Bill Simmons writes, "It's incredibly hard to make a column work this well, with this much detail, when you only have 850 words."

My favorite part of this is Gonzalez reply to the reporter. "Hey, I'm coachable." Classic all around.

Oops. Sorry:
Very sad, but I think it was time to go. I agree with the (appropriately) orange text. I'll be interested to see where we go from here.
