    Where are they now?

    As great a college player as he was the typical Mizzou fan won't acknowledge his accomplishments. They treated him as an stop-gap replacement until a faster, more "athletic" back could be found. I don't think there have been too many tougher runners than Olivo. People are more inclined to...

    David Ball -- WR

    I think the pro scouts are salivating at the prospect of signing him as a free agent, watching him look great in a couple of pre-season games and then putting him on the practice squad where he will be invaluable as a training tool for DBs and as an example to the athletic WRs in the ways of...

    article on mediocrity of NFL QBs

    Change of signals It's getting harder to become a star QB in the NFL Phil Taylor Although it's hard to draw any definitive conclusions after only three weeks of the NFL season, it does seem safe to make one prediction -- it's going to be another season of...

    article on mediocrity of NFL QBs

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/phil_taylor/09 /27/quarterbacks/index.html If you've ever imagined an article about bad NFL quarterbacking that didn't mention Vick, Culpepper, Garrard, Batch or even Aaron Brooks this is a must read.

    Excuses for team USA failure

    Spot on irokez. Excuse makers for US basketball make it seem as if FIBA basketball is a different sport entirely. How odd then that so many many South American and European players are able to adjust to the NBA game. Edited by: surfsider

    Where are they now?

    A few more of these posts Jimmy Chitwood and I'm going to swear off football for good. If ever a group needed affirmative action legislation it is white skill position footballers.

    2006 Air Force Falcons

    Having grown up a Sooner fan during the wishbone years I take particular pleasure in seeing an option offense run well. As black as OU's backfield might have been there was always room for talented whites---Steve Owens, Joe Wylie, Leon Crosswhite, Steve Davis and of course Jack Mildren. Ironic...

    Week 3 2006

    Hit the locker room at the the gym at 2:00 and saw Bob Ley's mug as he kicked off ESPN's MNF pre-game show! After workout I was met in the locker room by the scary, Gollum-like, visage of Spike Lee going on about the horrors of the Superdome during the Katrina debacle. Can't even begin to...

    06 world Championships

    The ladies have so far followed the men's blueprint to perfection; look unbeatable in the preliminary round and then lose in the semis to secure a shot at the bronze. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09 /21/AR2006092101588.html

    Billy Volek

    Woodley has been dead for three years so at this point Culpepper might have the edge mobility-wise.

    Notre Dame 2006

    Speaking of fat coaches Kansas and Toledo featured a couple of biggun's...Mark "I can't believe I haven't burst yet" Mangino and Tom Amstutz. I chuckled to myself when I first saw Amstutz that this would be the one game where he was the skinny coach and just then the announcers said he had lost...
