This is getting to be a cosmic joke. Pat, making sure that everyone understands he wouldn't do this sort of thing for just any conference, reminds doubters... This was the seventh week of the season, and at least one Southeastern Conference team has lost in each one. Now, after a deafening night in the Loveliest Little Village on The Plains, the body count is complete in the Bloody South. Twelve teams. No unbeatens. Nobody left standing tall in the national championship chase. Let the ...
Lazy Sports "Journalists"
Is Ivan Maisel Trying to Fight Off Early Alzheimers?
Ivan is clearly upping his dosage. Maybe he could contact Urban Meyer's boys for some helpful hints. At any rate, Ivan has this to say about the Notre Dame/Michigan Game less than a month after the event actually took place under his "biggest moments of the half-season" heading. 3. Michigan blows out Notre Dame in South Bend It seems like a long time ago now, since the Wolverines are ranked fourth in the nation and are looking unstoppable. But don't forget that they went into Notre Dame ...
Timmy! is Making Waves at Florida
And columnist Mike Freeman of CBS Sportsline is rocking the boat because of it. EDSBS is not happy to see The Turtle being given an ad hominem wedgie, and so they strike back at Freeman in gory fashion. All that's missing is the grainy black and white film and some chocolate syrup for blood. I must increase this bust! ...
Gene Menez: I’m Super, Thanks for Asking
It's amazing, the power of words. For example, take Gene Menez's description of the devastating precision with which Brady Quinn picked apart the Stanford defense this past weekend: This was a typical Quinn-like effort: Attack different parts of the field, get multiple receivers involved (seven, in the case Saturday) and methodically move the ball downfield. The Watchman raised this question last year at this time and is wondering again: Has coach Charlie Weis made Quinn or does Quinn make ...
I Feel A Disturbance In The Force…
Re-verify our range to target... one ping only. Well, I knew my joy over the Jason Whitlock firing could only last a short while. I just learned today that Mitch "I Can Hear You Thinking About Me" Albom (a.k.a. Sonar) has a blog. Yup, the net is now infected. Time to update the ole' anti-virus software. And true to form, the guy's first ever post makes an effort to temper the excitement of Notre Dame fans for the Irish ...
There Is A God, And He Wants Me To Be Happy
Sure, the headline could apply to our miracle come-from-behind-oh-my-God-does-John-Elsmith-suck-at-coaching-look-at-him-cry! win at MSU, but actually, there's bigger news this week... Huge news, in fact. Every week, it seems more and more likely that I can once again watch ESPN without going into some spastic fit induced by moron talking-heads, the overkill of onomatopoeia in play-by-play, and columnists with less actual sports knowledge than my dog posing as "sports journalists." Jason ...
Dan Revsine, ESPN College Football Expert, Does Not Actually Watch or Review Games.
In his cute little "article" called "Behind the Numbers," ESPN "journalist" Dan Revsine displays a lack of competence or lack of interest in his field of focus when he uses Notre Dame's blow-out loss to Michigan last week as an example of poor defensive performance. Quoth the latest villate idiot: "38: On the other end of the defensive spectrum, Notre Dame gave up 47 points in its loss to Michigan. That's the most the Irish have given up at home since falling to Purdue 51-19 in 1960. For ...
Boo-Yah Go Bye Bye?
The Big Lead is reporting that ESPN's "boo yah" era is either dead or dying. The "talent", and John Saunders, are being reshuffled, effectively giving some of their "talent" (and, again, John Saunders) a lower profile on the network. Will this mean that someday soon we will never again see John "The Ty Willingham of Broadcasting" Saunders, Bob "The Red Sox Won It All And I'm Still Bitter" Ryan, Jason "Oooh! Twinkies!" Whitlock, and Mitch "I'll Just Write Another Cheezy Ass Book" Albom (a.k.a. ...
Do You Hear A Million Voices Crying Out? That’s All Because Jen Sterger has a Job.
Jen Sterger, the girl who stole America's heart last year by portraying the ditzy slut all decked out in cowgirl gear during an FSU Home Game, has a job as an advice columnist. Three things worry me here. Jen Sterger was given a job giving out advice. People are actually asking Jen Sterger for advice about things that do not involve bikinis. Jen Sterger has managed to make her advice column gig last since February. Bonus: I'm so detached from this world, I had no idea about the 3 ...
Wannstedt Declared “Next Pete Carroll”; Carroll Ordered to Grow Pornstache
Eric Moneypenny wrote a brilliant piece of shit suggesting that Dave Wannstedt is the "next Pete Carroll." This begs two questions about Moneypenny: Why did James Bond want to nail this guy? Has this guy ever watched football? At any level? Having watched Wannstedt film a German Scheisse video all over the Bears' collective chest coach the Bears badly, I don't know what Moneypenny is seeing here. My memories of Wannstedt involve a lot of this... and this... and ...
