Not going to go into sugarcoat mode. I thought yesterday was mainly a crushing disappointment. A few minor good bits and some good defensive positives but overall some bad stuff. The East Carolina and Texas Tech teams were primed for big breakout seasons for their white receivers. Yesterday...

Expect Ole Miss QB John Rhys Plumlee to see the field today even though he won't start. Dan Mullen the HC of Florida tried to recruit Plumlee, get this, as a CB. Mullen says he is faster than rookie NFL corner CJ Henderson who ran a 4.39 40 at the combine. And who kept getting torched against...

Just when I thought there was justice in the world when Solly March headed in the tying goal to make it 2-2 against United with virtually seconds left Neal Maupay foolishly had his arm up and nicked the ball just as the final whistle blew. United wins on the penalty kick 3-2. The most brutal...

The Celtics stayed alive last night pulling away in the 4th quarter. C Daniel Theis had a big game blocking shots rebounding and surprisingly scored points too. Even Enes Kanter scored well early. Gordon Hayward still looks rusty and sluggish although he did have a couple of nifty late...

Tampa Bay took what looks like a commanding 3-1 lead with a tight 5-4 OT win last night. They fell behind 2-0 but fought back. Victor Hedman continues to be a lynchpin. And 24 year old center Brayden Point is transforming into a superstar. With his lightning speed ( no pun intended) it looks...

Corner Canyon, the most exciting and explosive high school team in the nation ran their winning streak to 33 after downing Lone Peak, the second ranked team in the state of Utah, 35-25. It was their first real test of the season. Lone Peak has a senior DE who is a lightening quick terror off the...

Leave it to TwentyTwo ( splendid write up) to capture the "confusion" surrounding this roster. Stanford has a lot of diamond white skill players who appear to be struggling to rise to the surface. Their wide receiver situation is instructive. While Bryce Farrell is fairly highly rated both...

I believe S Andrew Wingard's injury is not serious. Now give me a second while I install the de jinx applicator before I ask is this the week Andy Isabella breaks out a little bit? Christian Kirk has been hobbled during the week which might mean more action for Andy. At this stage we will have...

Terrific summary of a touchstone athlete. It is difficult to stay on top at a high level in track (some do but most don't) and in the scheme of things Christophe avoided being a one or two year wonder. I applaud his accomplishments and enjoyed his big moments. And keeping dignified by not...

Doha Diamond League took place today and I missed Amy Hunt run the 100. She placed 6th with a time of 11.43. Little ticked because I have never seen her run. Interestingly Payton Chadwick placed 7th with a 11.51 time. Chadwick did win the 100H with a 12.78 time. Made it look easy although Nadine...

I thought the game was poorly played. Dropped passes by black wide receivers and bad DB play to go along with a depressing injury to Wingard, there wasn't much fun to be had. Schobert looked solid as usual and finished with 8 tackles. I noticed Sieler was in there quite a bit. As for Van Ginkel...

Something is better than nothing I guess but seven games seems a little paltry to me. Heck I thought the Big Ten's eight game schedule was too thin. Just like the Big Ten the Mountain West will start up an eight game season on October 24th.

I happened to catch this race tonight on the Olympic channel. Couldn't miss Tortu in his bright yellow top. Once again he got out of the blocks as if half asleep. I am no expert but his head was down for what seemed like too long a time and he didn't straighten up as quick as the other...

On that Gesicki TD, which by the way was a great grab, the safety who had to slide over recognized the play late then took a bad angle. If that was a white safety there would have been a disparaging 50 page report full of diagrams and graphics issued the following morning. And then a comments...

It seems like every week about four games are biting the dust due to COVID and that is the case (so far) this week. Games featuring Houston, Arkansas State and USF join Notre Dame as being idle this Saturday. Also idle this Saturday is Texas dynamo WR Jake Smith. He has yet to suit up and I...

You seem like a big Westerns fan. I am curious how you feel about the following which were not on your list: Thomas Mann/Jimmy Stewart and their rugged vehicles like "Winchester'73" and "Bend Of The River" plus many others. "High Noon" with Gary Cooper in prime form with the lovely very young...

Not a lot of excitement on the commitment front lately. Two solid defensive ends just signed. 6'5" 235 Nick Fryhoff to Penn. 6'4" 250 Anthony Franklin to Stanford, Highly rated Missouri WR Theo Gabrill has been offered a PWO ( preferred walk on) offer from Missouri. I am all for players...

Dragic had a key late driving layup and three pointer that pretty much sealed the deal last night. He has played only one sub par game the entire playoffs. But where Dragic and even Hayward play next season are two of the biggest off season stories the media will be following. Dragic will be a...

The Lightning did seem pumped to have Stamkos in the lineup and then we he scored in the first period they went bonkers. I think he tweaked something so his status will likely be a game to game thing. All of their big boys scored last night including Kucherov who nailed a nice one on one...

Kudos to you jacque for such a great and fun idea. If I were you I would keep the poll open until October. The more the merrier I say. I can't argue with any of the lists either. I've got an idea who will land on top but the other nine will be sort of a cliffhanger.

The good news is the TV schedule looks a bit beefier than last week. The SEC is starting up but it is still not a knock out week by any means. And once again another key game got postponed. The scheduled noon game between Notre Dame and Wake Forest has been postponed due to COVID cases on the...

That was an all time performance by Herro. He has a precocious fearless game that one rarely sees in a player so young. He single handedly destroyed the Celtics last night. He was of fire the entire night. Scored from long range and on drives. Has a natural feel for the game you just can't...

Since 2005 the white starter list is 5,5,5,5,5,6,2,8,7,8,7,4 and 3 last year. This year about the same. Because of a COVID protocol the famous adorable bulldog Georgia mascot won't be allowed on the field. The logic behind this decision completely escapes me. Another team I haven't rooted for...

Just a reminder they cancelled all of minor league baseball this year. Just another feather in the cap of baseball. Meanwhile most of the high school summer stuff went on as planned. Go figure? Well you can't. As the MLB "little dick" 60 game schedule comes to an end this Sunday they just...

I believe Oklahoma rookie Kenneth Murray took his place. I don't completely trust this but word is Ron Rivera still has Troy Apke's back. We will find out soon enough if that is true? Rest assured the pure crap play by the Saints DBs last night barely earned more than "it was a tough night"...
