I Think OU Just Won Its 8th National Championship…
…for a game it lost 55-19 in 2005. Today, the NCAA handed down the most severe sanctions since giving Southern Methodist the “death penalty” in 1986. They placed USC on a 2-year postseason ban in football, revoked 30 scholarships, and most importantly, vacated all wins for the football program after December 2004 in which Heisman…

Idiot East Coasters
Fucking New York know-it-alls. Some smart ass on the New York Times website writes in a comment that Matt Holliday doesn’t deserve the MVP even though he led 2 out of 3 Triple Crown categories, because his home-road splits are .376/123/82/1.157 vs. .301/93/55/.859 (Avg./H/RBI/OPS). His supposed MVP? Jimmy Rollins, who was 20th in average with…

Commissioner Stern: B.S.
I’m calling B.S. on Commissioner Stern when he commented on Carmelo Anthony’s suspension. Yes, I agree that ‘Melo deserved a suspension, but suspending him longer than any other player involved in the fracas is ridiculous, especially when the whole mess was instigated by a hard foul at Coach Isiah Thomas’ direction. “We judged him on…

NCAA Instant Replay is a Joke
It’s an absolutely idiotic, broken system that does nothing but give a veneer of respectability to the thoroughly inept, pathetic referee system in college football. What the hell is the point of having this stupid thing if a trained replay official can’t even spot what is plainly obvious to the public at home, and even…

Fire Dick Pound
Considering his supposed goal is to restore ethical integrity to international sports competitions, I can’t imagine a more ethically-challenged man than Dick Pound leading the WADA. He has always resorted to the dirtiest of smear campaigns when he couldn’t find any real evidence, and his sickening attempts to discredit Lance Armstrong (in conjunction with yellow…

I Guess the Patriots…
aren’t the only team that gets disrespected. Hey, I’m not claiming the win against New England wasn’t ugly, or that Pittsburgh doesn’t look pretty scary going into the AFC Championship, but why is Denver the favorite punching bag for all the columnists today? The Patriots committed five turnovers, but somehow to these wags, that doesn’t…

Hail the Trojans
Congratulations to USC, who played a terrific game in last night’s Orange Bowl. They had my Sooners beat at every turn.

Well, That Sucked
Losing at home, on national television, in a divisional game, in weather favorable to your team, with the division lead on the line, to your most hated rival (who are only 3-7) on a blocked field goal, by one point? It doesn’t get much uglier than that. Final score: Raiders 25, Broncos 24.

Going to Broncos-Raiders!
My Dad just called and said a friend has two extra seats to the Broncos–Raiders game at Mile High tonight! Of course, the temperature outside is about 25° F, but what the hell? I’ve never been to the new stadium, and I’ve never gotten to watch Shanahan demolish the Raiders in person, either.
