The 2015 NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament wrapped up last night, with the Duke Blue Devils walking away with shards of a net, a new floor if they want it, and the satisfaction of a successful championship season being completed.And they'll head either back to class or off to prepare for the next phase of...

Colin Cowherd Would Rather Blow Out His Nonexistent Brain Than His Knee. OK.
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...

Dodd-ering Through the Impotent Rage of the Spurned Sportswriter
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...

Grambling Strike: My thoughts
My eyes can't stop looking at the shoulder pads.There are other bad images if you watch the ESPN video story on the Grambling Football Team's strike this past week. The floor tiles in the weight room coming up. The mildew on the walls and the ceiling tiles in the locker room.But I can't stop looking... Continue Reading →
A Letter to ESPN
Dear ESPN,I'm probably long overdue in writing this missive, and for that I should apologize. Although I am sure that by now, you must have realized that this letter was coming. I know from my perspective, the writing has been on the wall for some time now, but events over the past few months have... Continue Reading →

Perhaps he was pushed as more and more... Continue Reading →
B-U-S-T-E-D!
(This column originally appeared on Southern Pigskin)Legacy is an interesting word. For Ohio State's Jim Tressel, his legacy involves Marurice Clarett, Troy Smith and now Tatgate. But hey, he beats Michigan.If there is one maxim that web 2.0 has taught us here in the 21st century it is this:You can’t take anyone being a “good... Continue Reading →
Where I spent my spring hiatus: Looking for paid work and getting a wonderful unpaid offer
This hiatus was not fueled by wanderlust, or boredom as much as it was fueled by a need to focus on finding gainful employment for myself in my current field.As the end of my contract arrives in two weeks, I have to date been unsuccessful in securing a new position, so a major transition is...

Wednesday Quick Slant: Reggie Bush’s Heisman
Back in May I wrote about the (at the time) seemingly endless wait for the decision of the NCAA regarding the Reggie Bush investigation. A decision hadn't been rendered, but I thought that it would be a lot of waiting for a slap on the wrist.Well, it turned out to not be a slap on... Continue Reading →
