Tear Down That Statue!

A couple questions keep popping up on Sodahead. I’m going to be using them a lot here for a while. Should Penn State Remove Paterno’s Statue? Public OpinionPoll Results And: Should NCAA Chief Shut Down Penn State Football Program? Public OpinionPoll Results Paterno was aware of a whole slate of felonies occurring and chose to ignore them. These felonies resulted… (more…)

Manning to the Broncos?

Last season the Broncos were wallowing around playing pretty poorly.  Tim Tebow stepped in at quarterback and did what everyone has said he couldn’t do his entire career, win.  He promptly took them to the playoffs, and even led the woeful Broncos to an unexpected win over the Steelers in dramatic fashion in overtime. The country went crazy.  People were… (more…)

Which was worse, Roseanne or Steven?

In 1990, Roseanne Barr gave the worst performance of the National Anthem ever.  Bar none.  In her mind I think it was performance art.  In the minds of everyone else, it was awful to the point of blasphemy.  She was roundly criticized, justifiably so. Last night, Steven Tyler, long time member of Aerosmith, of whom I’m a fan of, and… (more…)

2011 BCS

Tonight is the night every fan of NCAA football waits for.  By having really good seasons, two teams are chosen to play for the championship.  This year those two teams are: and That’s right, Oregon and Auburn.  The Ducks vs the Tigers.  Both teams are undefeated.  Texas Christian is too, but we’ll just have to ignore them in order to… (more…)

Mike Brown must go

A while back I wrote an article here about how bad things were in Cincinnati with Mike Brown running the Bengals.  That was in 2005.  They made it to the playoffs since then, which is an improvement.  However, at 2-10 one could argue things have gotten suddenly worse.  Sort of terminal.  Last weekend, to seal their double-digit losses for the… (more…)

0-13 and #1 forever

A long time ago I blogged on an anomoly.  This college kid built himself a mansion.  THEN he left college.  That’s a no-no.  Four years later, the NCAA figured it out too.  They got so mad they stripped USC ( Southern Cal, not South Carolina ) of all their wins in the 2004 season.  The left Southern Cal 0-13 for… (more…)

Lane Kiffin

Here we go again.  A coach takes a job, promises everyone the moon, fails miserably, gets in trouble, gets the school in trouble, takes a job with another major university and abandons the kids he recruited to deal with the damage he did. Lane Kiffin inherited a team one year removed from being the SEC East champion.  A decade removed… (more…)

There go those rankings again, 2009 edition

What a day. #8 Tennessee got whipped, bad, by unranked Southern California.  USC is now 5-4. #11 Georgetown lost to Old Dominion.  Yeah, THE Old Dominion. #13 Florida lost to Richmond.  That’s a team from Virginia.  Richmond lost to Old Dominion too.  Old Dominion must be something to fear this year. The Saints lost. And tomorrow, #85 for the Bengals who… (more…)

New England 59, Tennessee 0

The Tennessee Titans came into this weekend’s game with a very makeshift secondary.  The New England Patriots knew that.  During a ten minute span in the second quarter, the Patriots tossed in five touchdowns.  The game was over by half-time.  The Patriots would go on to score a couple of more touchdowns, one with a rookie quarterback. A lot of… (more…)

You know it’s gonna be a bad season when

Well, if you’re a Bengal fan, almost any year.  However, the clue here is it’s Monday night.  Dallas has scored more points in the first half of their game than the Bengals have all year. And they’re losing.
