Musing and ruminations on life, the universe, everything
The tagline for an NCAA public service announcement in the mid-2000s was "...going pro in something other than sports."And while it is true that the vast majority of student athletes will find career opportunities in fields such as medicine, education, and business, there are some who will go pro in sports and make a long...

Caught an interesting quote from Notre Dame head football coach Brian Kelly in this story from ND Insider (h/t: SB Nation). In it, Kelly states that basically, all of his football players are probably at-risk students:I think we recognized that all of my football players are at-risk — all of them — really. Honestly, I don’t... Continue Reading →
Photo: Jerry Lai/USA TodayI am not a huge fan of the Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany. I've found him in the past to be excessively rigid, dogmatic and a hectoring sort of individual. This is not to say that he has not done good things, but I am not a fan of the man from... Continue Reading →
She lives here in town. I’ve been here about nine years now; I am unsure as to how long she has been here. In fact, I haven’t seen her in nearly 20 years. We’re Facebook friends, for all that that’s worth, but outside of commenting on a picture or two or a happy birthday wall... Continue Reading →

Colin Cowherd is slime.His reptilian, repugnant, race baiting and elitist approach to sports radio has been document multiple places multiple times (just go hit Google to find the list too long for me to link directly to).But today’s commentary on what New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said during an interview on Jim Rome’s...

Lots of jokes have been made about Larry Brown’s wandering eye.Yahoo’s Pat Forde called Bobby Petrino “The Disingenuous Drifter” at one point for interviewing for job after job after job.I even wrote a piece commenting on Mike Anderson leaving Missouri for Arkansas and mentioned the numerous flirtations he had racked up during his tenure in...

I don’t know about you, but I know that I was not fully formed as a professional entering my field when I was 21. Hell, when I was 21 I was actually still in school getting the preparation I needed to become a professional in my chosen occupation.Even at 31, I was not a fully... Continue Reading →
I’ve been amused by the idea that a certain member of the sports media felt entitled to an interview by an NFL player and took to Twitter very pissed off that he was denied the interview by the athlete.Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports got salty for no reason after Aaron Rodgers declined his request for...
