When I first started going to college lo so many years ago, I would have painted myself as firmly in the camp of stating that student athletes who were receiving scholarships should not be paid. Period.However, as I spent time on campus and then became a higher education professional (and now part time sports blogger/analyst),... Continue Reading →
Maybe We Should Stop Calling Student Athletes Kids.
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...

Make Sure You Fit As A Coach
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...

Unfinished Products Expected to be Great
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 →
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...

A Fever Dream Leads to a Return
I tossed and turned.I was finding it difficult to get comfortable, as all these thoughts kept running through my head.A quote from William Shakespeare: "It is a tale told by an idiot/full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" is followed by a video clip of Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith shouting vile, nonsenical things... Continue Reading →
Oh, no. Not another new blog
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...

NFL Draft Prospect Michael Sam Comes Out
Image courtesy of http://www.hrc.org/Sometimes when you're laid up sick for a few days, and the weekend is rapidly coming to a close, you don't have time to pay attention to things that might be going on in the world. 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
A piece went up recently on the ESPN/Bill Simmons site Grantland. Titled "Dr. V's Magical Putter" it was ostensibly a piece about a piece of golf equipment that, while unusual in appearance, seemed to work wonders for those who needed to improve their short game.The writer, a freelancer from Denver named Caleb Hannan, wrote the...
