You are a Quiter Bobby

Today Bobby Petrino returned to the ranks of the underpaid college coach. Oops I mean overpaid college coaches. Bobby stick it out for more than 13 games. Nobody blames you for the mess the owner made by trusting that piece of shit Marcus Vick. Don't drop the soap Mike or you might find out the prison version of a "rape stand" is the towel bar. But back to Bobby, you turned a college basketball school into the best football team in the Big East. The Falcons can't be that hard to turn around. I might be a overweight guy who never made the most of his opportunites or had the most focus, but I never was never a quiter, you Bobby are a quiter. That personal trait runs deep have fun razorbacks you got a quiter.

Bowl Time

Indiana is the good feeling story of the bowl season. With a underrated QB and a Wide Receiver that will be playing on Sundays in the future. Throw in heart wrenching story about the coach dieing and you get bowl magic. Coach Hep recreated IU Football. It was no easy task. The only thing that was easy was that The General was not on campus to steal the thunder.

Mr. Warmth

Tonight HBO had a great special on about Don Rickles. He is an amazing entertainer. It's a shame that in today's world all the comedians and entertainers can't carry his jock strap. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rickles one night at Gibson's Steakhouse in Chicago. I sent a round of drinks to his table (it was expensed to Enterprise). He called me over to his table and thanked me and I told him that Kelly's Heroes was my favorite movie. I was expecting him to insult me, but he said thanks.

Kelly's Heroes plays a prominent role in the show. I believe that it is the best World War II movie out there. You can watch it a million times and it never gets old. Try to say that with Saving Private Ryan or even the great Guns From Navarone. Even Gregory Peck gets a little old.

Wimps

The Las Vegas Sportsbooks are wimps. How come no money line on the Patriots Eagles game. If I ran a book a would have the handicappers set the line and then double it and see if anyone was willing to lay it. I figure if you made the line -2000. Then you would risk $50,000.00 for each million laid on the game. How come every book in town ends up with a position on the Superbowl and BCS favorite but can't risk $50,000.00 on each of the next six games to win a million. If they paid out five times they would still make $750,000.00.

Digger is right once

Digger Phelps who may be the worst color commentary man in all of sports, finally got one right. He was on the The Scott Ferral Show this weekend on Sirius Radio. Digger was commenting on how in College Basketball we celebrate the little guy and everybody gets behind the non traditional teams like George Mason. But in College Football we all root against the little guys like Hawaii, Kansas or even Boise State and say their competition is bad and they are just overachieving. It sickens me to agree with a man who matches his ties and highlighter, a little thing Tony Kornheiser calls the "Tielighter." But even a broken clock is right twice, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn, you get the point.

No Cooperstown for Barry

Barry Bonds was a long shot to make the Baseball Hall of Fame but now his shot has pulled lame and was shot like that horse in the Breeders Cup. He made for a hell of race but was put out of his misery with spitting distance of the finish line.

The Gang who couldn't shoot straight

The NYPD Blue shot a teenager this which who was pretending to have a gun. I am not questioning their actions or the suicide by cop intentions of the departed. But come on cops, twenty shots at close range and only eight hit the suspect. Several years ago the three Port Authority cops fired 81 shots in the subway and not a single bullet hit the suspect. The NYPD needs to go back to qualification school or switch to shotguns.
