The highly irregular hijinks in the final seconds of the Chargers/Steelers game last Sunday open the door a little wider for doubts and discussions of NFL officiating. While NBA Ref Tim Donagy is still fresh in fans minds.

What the heck is going on down at Auburn ? Yesterday they fired offensive coordinator Tony Franklin who they had brought over from Troy to install the spread offense and replace Tuberville's smash mouth conservative style. Last week vs Vanderbilt, Auburn got out to a 13-0 lead playing smash mouth run the ball offense in the first quarter. Then for some mysterious reason they totally got away ...  read more

I know this is a NFL blog, but it would be wrong not to mention the Oregon st upset special over USC last night. It's one thing for a team to lose, it happens in sports, but to lose the way USC did losing the line of scrimmage battle , getting out rushed by over +100 yds. This is what makes NCAAF great, less than 2 weeks ago USC beat up Ohio st like a little brother, and now last night the sa ...  read more

I would like to start off this week by asking the media (ESPN) to get a clue before they speak.At the end of the Fla/Miami game when Fla. coach Urban Meyer elected to kick a field goal instead of taking a knee, thereby running out the clock, Kirk Herbstreet said that Meyer was doing so (adding points to the board) for recruiting purposes and Brent Musberger, who has been known to place a wager ...  read more

I'll start out by stating, that although we are barely through the first week of NCAA football, I'm already sick and tired of ESPN analyst Lou Holtz. I will call last weekend's NCAA only football card week 1A and next week will be NFL & NCAA week 1.

I can't remember a Super Bowl like the upcoming Pats/Giants, in which all the public squares seem to be on the double digit underdog NY Giants, and the wiseguys all on the favorite.

When I was growing up in the early seventies, I was s ...  read more

Why anyone woul ...  read more
