So I am sitting in the ESPN Zone in Anaheim last weekend having breakfast and watching the Ohio State/Navy game. I looked up at the screen when Ohio State took the field and blanched a little when I looked at Terrelle Pryor’s eye black strips. Does that strip under his left eye say “Vick?” What?...

One Final Thought On LeGarrette Blount
I've been travelling all day, so I haven't had a chance to comment yet on the news of Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount's season long suspension.The suspension effectively ends his career, as he was a senior.It's an ignomious conclusion to his career. The stat line is absolutely horrific.Eight carries for negative five yards.And one sucker... Continue Reading →
How Do You Solve A Problem Like LeGarrette Blount?

It’s Got Wings: Oregon Unveils Yet Another Set Of New Uniforms
I will admit this right off the bat: I am a big fan of the Oregon Ducks football uniforms.I think that the school has been very inventive and has capitalized on the well documented connection between the institution and the Nike corporation.Even with the jerseys that took the field for most of the games last...
