Oh, yes. It's true.I've decided to take a different tack with the writing I am doing about college sports. I have put the label of the Pigskin Pundit to rest for the foreseeable future.It has been interesting over the last five years to have spent time here. I only wish I had committed to it...

I was too busy getting caught up on the cleaning I couldn't do on Saturday, trying... Continue Reading →
On Caleb Hannan and his Dr. V. story

Tea and Encyclopedias
It was a regular routine for me most Friday nights. Usually I got done with watching “T.G.I.F.” on ABC, absorbing the family sitcoms proffered by the network in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Around 10pm or so, as the theme music for “20/20” was firing up, I would go select a book off of one of... Continue Reading →
Maybe Officials Aren’t The Problem
I am still trying to wrap my head around exactly what happened at the end of the Arizona State/Wisconsin game on Saturday night. I made an attempt to do so in my impromptu game recap (since I thought I was done writing before that hot mess ensued) so I don't want to waste time going... Continue Reading →
Jason Collins’s Coming Out is a Step in the Right Direction
Jason Collins came out as gay today. It's not very often that a career NBA journeyman (best season: 2004-05 with the New Jersey Nets, when he averaged 6.4 points and 6.1 rebounds in 80 games played) can make news that causes you to go, "What?"But that's what I did when I heard on the radio...

It must be Rick Reilly's music.This week, Reilly wrote about Colin Kaepernick's family. Well, not exactly. Mr. Reilly wrote about Colin Kaepernick and the fact that he doesn't want to meet his birth mother.... Continue Reading →
NCAA Needs To Be Reformed From The Bottom Up And From The Top Down
"I have been vocal in the past regarding the need for integrity by NCAA member schools, athletics administrators, coaches and student-athletes," Emmert said. "That same commitment to integrity applies to all of us in the NCAA national office.(From an ESPN.com story yesterday.)One of the things that Dr. Mark Emmert, the current president of the NCAA,...

Appreciate the Beauty of Gray
I’m going to start this piece off right now by doing something I normally don’t like to do. I’m going to make a blanket statement about people. When it comes to sports, people prefer things to be black and white.(I’m not talking about race, because based on the vitriol that Bomani Jones and Michael Silver... Continue Reading →
