Good article on the importance of leadership in the locker room :: “I don’t think there’s enough (emphasis) put on the leadership role, in not only having players being productive, but respecting and cherishing those leaders that you have. I think it’s a great example not just with the Patriots, but with a lot of [...]

I wear my sunglasses at night…
From what I was reading, former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach was upset that injured player Adam James came to practice wearing sunglasses as he was recovering from a concussion and headaches.
A source close to the family said James sustained a concussion on Dec. 16, was examined on Dec. 17 and told not to [...]
Mike Leach Fired at Texas Tech
Mike Leach has long been a favorite coach of mine but this year was a tough one for him. First of all he banned Twitter after one of his players called him out for being late to a team meeting on it and then it is alleged that he confined a player to a small, [...]
A good choice
It was good to see Urban Meyer leave Florida yesterday. I like Meyer and while it is sad that he has to leave Florida under these circumstances, I am glad for him and his family that he made this decision before the stress of the job caused him to die of a heart attack. [...]
The end of the Charlie Weis era
Well Charlie Weis is out at Notre Dame. Notre Dame had an incredible aerial attack but couldn’t run the ball out on close games and had a horrific defense for most of Weis’ tenure. In the end Weis didn’t beat better teams than Notre Dame and often were beat by inferior teams.
Despite that, [...]
Breaking my heart since 1984
Well the Saskatchewan Roughriders found a new way to break my heart. Their usual m.o. is to just be bad all season long and not make the playoffs but losing to the Montreal Alouettes on a last second penalty in the Grey Cup is something new.
Stay Classy Notre Dame
Not all of the details are out but punching Jimmy Clausen in the face after a family dinner isn’t really the way to convince their star quarterback to come back another season.
The group decided to leave after words were exchanged with others at the bar, the official said. As they were leaving, Clausen’s girlfriend [...]

The Hot Dog Stand That Wendy Won’t Let Me Have
I have been trying to convince Wendy earlier this summer that I should be allowed to get a full sized hot dog stand for around the house and even at work.
I believe Wendy’s objection was, “What would you possibly do with a hot dog stand at work?”. Well Wendy, I have an answer for you: [...]
University of Saskatchewan Huskies vs. the UBC Thunderbirds
The Huskies are hosting the UBC Thunderbirds this Friday at Griffiths Stadium. Unless the weather is beyond horrible, I will be attending with Mark and my brother. Let me know if you want to join us.
Despite being a big football fan and a fan of the Huskies since I was a kid, I think this [...]
I can’t find a good seat
While I love the idea of a bowl game at Yankee Stadium, can someone tell me where the good seats are. I am serious. This does not look like a good stadium to watch a football game in.
Contextless Football Thoughts
I was up at the lake this weekend and the little bit of football news I got was through Twitter. It’s always nerve wracking to come home and wonder if your team or teams won.
Okay, let’s just admit that Notre Dame will probably be 10-2 heading into a BCS bowl game and we still [...]
How bad does Ohio State feel right now?
So if I am an Ohio State fan, I got to be feeling like I have been punched in the gut right now. Not only does USC beat us at home last week but then today they go and lose to a really mediocre University of Washington team. Before today you could keep telling yourselves [...]
Contextless Football Thoughts
Well the University of Saskatchewan Huskies beat our illiterate arch rivals from the University of Regina Rams in a close game at Griffiths Stadium. Congratulations to the University of Regina for making it close. Someone just needs to help them understand the score. While the U of S is 2-0 this year, they don’t [...]
Loopholes 2.0
We all know about tax loopholes but Chad Ochocinco is working on finding loopholes in the NFL Twitter rules.
Say what you want about Chad Ochocinco, but when he gets an idea in his head, he’s at least dedicated to it. He’s not half-assing this Twitter thing.
