Missed Extra Points and Sex Parties at the DMV; Just Another Day in Gainesville, Florida

Posted By Chris Humpherys On Tuesday, September 30th 2008. Under NCAA Football

I got a call yesterday from an old friend who was in a bind. He currently lives out west, but used to work with me here in Gainesville back in the day. He called to tell me that he recently tried to renew his drivers license, but was flagged for ... Continue Reading

Week four had it all. Upsets, goal line stands, emotional moments, another direct snap for a rushing touchdown, an unsuccessful 76-yard field goal attempt, head coach firings, and a sighting of a nostalgic T.O. Some of this week's upsets had a common theme, exposing shaky defenses. The Washington Redskins went into ... Continue Reading

Monday NFL Minute: Titans, Bills keep rolling at 4-0, Broncos, Cowboys fall from the ranks of the unbeaten

Sunday was an action-filled day in the NFL. We saw the number of unbeaten teams reduced from six to four, a career day from Brett Favre, a couple of vintage performances, an extension of misery for a few teams, including one (at least) who'll likely have a new coach ... Continue Reading

As was the case with my college football picks last weekend, it was a mixed bag with the first edition of my NFL against-the-spread picks, as I went 7-9 in Week 3. Obviously the big letdown was New England, who got throttled at home by Miami, but I made ... Continue Reading

Before we get started on our week four projections, I’ve got a bone to pick with Matthew Berry a.k.a. “The talented Mr. Roto” who works over at ESPN. While I will admit that he’s probably better at this than I am, he does just about everything I hate when it ... Continue Reading

Saturday Shuffle: Upsets, upsets, and more upsets!

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Saturday, September 27th 2008. Under NCAA Football Tags: ACC, Alabama, auburn, Beanie Wells, Big 12, Big Ten, BYU, Clemson, Colorado, Cullen Harper, East Carolina, Georgia, Houston, Illinois, Kansas State, Maryland, middle tennessee state, Missouri, Navy, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Oregon State, Penn State, Riley Skinner, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech, Tommy Bowden, USC, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Wisconsin

The Shuffle certainly has an appropriate name this week, doesn't it? Instead of doing the usual Saturday Shuffle tonight, I thought I’d devote tonight’s shuffle to all of the shuffling and shaking up that there’ll be in the upcoming polls thanks to an upset-filled week to cap September. Every ... Continue Reading

It's actually not Friday anymore (not here, at least), but I'm getting this out a little later than I'd planned to since Friday was a busy day. Because there's not enough time for me to always go through every headline and interesting story I come across in short order, ... Continue Reading

Playing the Odds: Week 5 - The Best of the Rest

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Friday, September 26th 2008. Under NCAA Football

The college football weekend got off to about the wildest start imaginable last night, as Oregon State knocked off #1 USC in Corvallis. That means I’m off to a 1-0 start against the spread (hooray for me, not so much for USC), and hopefully that’s the start of an ... Continue Reading

I love the 80’s - the age of quality quarterbacking

Posted By Matt Gentile On Friday, September 26th 2008. Under NFL

While I am not a big fan of Steve Young's analysis on ESPN, I do agree with his statement that the quality of quarterbacking in the NFL has gone down in recent years. Shockingly, no one knows the reason why. Could it be college offenses not having enough pro-style sets? ... Continue Reading

Bea-lieve it! Rodgers and Rodgers show leads Oregon State past top-ranked USC

Posted By Eddie Griffin On Thursday, September 25th 2008. Under NCAA Football Tags: Arizona State, Greg Laybourn, Jacquizz Rodgers, James Rodgers, Joe McKnight, Lyle Moevao, mark sanchez, Ohio State, Oregon, Oregon State, Pac-10, Patrick Turner, Penn State, Rey Maualuga, Stafon Johnson, USC

So much for USC being the undisputed best team in the country, eh? For the second straight time, USC went into Corvallis, fell behind big, rallied, and came up short as the top-ranked Trojans fell 27-21 to Oregon St., a repeat of their 33-31 loss two years ago. In ... Continue Reading
