    2019 College Football Week 12

    I thought the EM/Akron game was going to be televised tonight but ESPNU had a black college game on instead. Jeremiah Knight, see above, was once a walk on for Ohio State. Like a bad zombie movie Alabama is not out of the playoffs. Does anyone here think Baylor will go undefeated? I thought...

    2019-2020 NHL Season

    Don Cherry, who was enormously popular and why not, he was passionate about hockey and his enthusiasm was infectious, appears to have a lot of supporters see below article. Again I haven't seen him in a while but I liked his intense approach to the sport. I don't agree with all of his...

    2019 MLB Season

    We have to take into account eras. 36 boppers may not seem like a lot of home runs in this juiced ball era and the steroid era from yore but when Dale Murphy was clobbering 30 plus home runs it was significant. He did play for a long time but his career tailed off quite a bit his last 8 years...

    2019-2020 NHL Season

    Out of sight out of mind I haven't seen much of the literally colorful Canadian hockey commentator Don Cherry the last few years. He was always a bracing presence. Now at 85 he has been canned for having an opinion ( that is probably accurate) that rubs many in the media the wrong way. To his...

    2019 MLB Season

    Now that I am fully wound up calling Dale Murphy just a "very good player" does not cut it with me. He had five outstanding seasons and was generally considered one of the best players in the game. He had about seven or eight big seasons overall. Like many I was able to watch him on TV every...

    2019 NFL Week 10

    Targets? We probably don't mention them enough here at CF but yesterday was a master class lesson on what has been happening in the NFL and at the college level. And we wonder why white WR production is way down these days? Much like basketball where the biggest shot takers are black and by a...

    2019 College Football Week 11

    The usual great recap from TwentyTwo!! I think Air Force is in negotiations with New Mexico to reschedule the game before the season ends? I did see Tanner Muse knock the snot out of an NC State player. A perfect crunching blow from one of the Stud Brothers. Small school WR Ryan Skibinski...

    College basketball 2019-2020 Week Two

    Bouncing between the NFL and the Pac 12 Network game of Arizona-Illinois I got my best look yet at Nico Mannion. He was brilliant tonight as the crowd was whipped into a frenzy. His parents were there cheering him on. Several electric plays in a win going away. He is a little taller but he...

    2019 NFL Week 10

    A big time bummer. Also notice S Jeff Heath hasn't played since an early series. I believe he injured his shoulder. Two important caste busting players missing in action.

    2019 NFL Week 10

    I didn't see this game but I got caught the drift of this approach in their game against the Pats. Marquise Brown their speedster WR has been targeted 43 times this year with 24 catches. Not a good average. And in todays game just like the opener most all of his big plays are surprises. I...

    2019 MLB Season

    Point blank yes Dale Murphy was great and should be in the Hall of Fame and I say that without any reservations. From 1982-1985 he was generally considered the best player in baseball and won MVP awards in 1982 and 1983. He was a bit like Cody Bellinger. A rangy tall versatile athlete who came...

    2019 NFL Week 10

    How is that even possible? TJ Watt looked like a lion feasting on a zebra. He completely destroyed the Rams offense with 2.5 sacks and constant pressure. How many teams passed on him in the draft? I mainly watched the Titans -Chiefs game but kept my eye on the Giants game. Daniel Jones could...

    2019 College Football Week 11

    Interesting points about the top high school teams in Texas being white. Hard for me to know that because when ESPN televises top high school games from around the country inevitably the teams are heavily black. Three head coaches that I predict won't be coaching their present teams in the near...

    2019 College Football Week 11

    I agree. Under most all circumstances I am against going for two in those situations. Sheer stupidity on display here. And yes Oklahoma was gassed. Those pretty boys (underwear Olympic types who don't like to get their hands dirty) they have on defense were crumbling like cowards but Campbell...

    2019 College Football Week 11

    Leach strikes me as a weirdo. Ever watch his press conferences? His teams always falter badly at some point during a season. Speaking of morons an NC State return man for no reason ( when the game was out of reach with a few minutes left) decides to jump on a rolling punt with a bunch of...

    2019 College Football Week 11

    I am sure most here know that if Clemson wins out the rest of their schedule including the ACC Championship game they will be in the playoffs. No concern that they are rated 5th in the rankings. One loss and they would be out but I can't see them losing. The big three games today all include...

    2019 MLB Season

    I am still contemplating the Modern Day HOF list. Steve Garvey Dwight Evans Tommy John Don Mattingly Marvin Miller Thurman Munson Dale Murphy Dave Parker Ted Simmons Lou Whitaker Still need time to digest these names. I decided a while back Dale Murphy is very deserving. And for years...

    College basketball 2019-2020 Week One

    For Iowa sophomore swing player Joe Wieskamp is a key player. He scored an efficient 16 points last night and has some Gordon Hayward in his game. Only time will tell if he can fully reach that rarified level. Two athletic newcomers are rangy F Patrick McCaffrery and redshirt freshman guard CJ...

    Soccer 2019

    American Christian Pulisic had big shoes to fill with superstar Eden Hazard departing Chelsea who is now coached by legend Frank Lampard. CP got off to a slow start this season but has been coming on like gangbusters of late. A while back he bagged a hat trick and this morning put in a goal on a...

    2019-2020 NBA Season

    Much discussed athletic bench players from last year are all off to disappointing starts to varying degrees. Mario Hezonja now with Portland has been starting some games and while he is rebounding his shot has been way off so far. Then again he is playing with two of the biggest ball hogs in...
