Very appropriately, I think, this week’s OST is the expiring decade. Continue reading Old School Thursday

The Carolina Hurricanes have had three of their players named to national hockey teams for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. As expected, defenseman Joni Pitkanen and forward Tuomo Ruutu were named to Finland’s squad, and forward Eric Staal was named to Team Canada despite his injury-hampered season. Surprisingly, forward Jussi Jokinen was not named [...] Given the grievances many of you seem to have regarding Jim Caldwell’s decision to tank last week’s game by pulling his starters, and the fact that fantasy football players all over America share Brian’s pain at not getting a complete game from Peyton Manning and the rest of the Colts’ studs, it seems fitting to take one more look at what the Colts did and why. Continue reading A final thought on Jim Caldwell and the Colts You Tube video has surfaced of Adam James being confined to the electrical closet made via James cell phone in a hush-hush, cloak and dagger sort of way.
I let you be the judge on authenticity. I have seen at least one comment pointing out a chair in the back when [...] Stop me if you’ve heard this one: UNC is playing a pretty good basketball game and then gives up a huge run, say 23-2, where the team looks erratic and directionless and throws the ball all over the gym. The Heels gave up a 23-2 run again on Wednesday night, only this time it [...] “Terminated with cause effective immediately” Don’t mess with the ’younger-James gang’. According to ESPN.com and the AP, Texas Tech handed a termination letter to Leach’s attorney, Ted Liggett just before the two sides were to appear in court for a hearing on the coach’s suspension. There are rumors abound in this story with different sources [...] Say what you will about Mike Leach as a football coach. Dude is good, and has a high ceiling that could lead to a high profile job. Check that. Dude is good, and had a high ceiling. Now dude may have swept in and stole the dumbass of the year award. (Note from me about how I’m fascinated by this Leach story so I’m going to update it as things develop or until we get sick of it.) Continue reading Mike Leach. Seriously? Are you that dumb?[UPDATED] For lost Fantasy Football winnings? I am going to break a rule and talk about my Fantasy Football team even though no one really gives a crap about it. By now you may have heard that Indianapolis head coach Jim Caldwell pulled his starters with a 15-10 lead at the end of the 3rd [...] A couple of oddities to consider as we hurtle towards our doom in 2012: Temple is in a bowl game for the first time since 1979. And with a win in the EagleBank Bowl over a 6-6 UCLA team, the Owls will have 10 wins. I’ll say that again slowly…, Temple may have a [...] For the second straight week, Carolina Panthers fans scratched their collective heads and asked “where the hell has this been all season?” as the Cats destroyed the New York Giants 41-9 on Sunday. UPDATE: The Charlotte O is reporting that both head coach John Fox and GM Marty Hurney, along with Fox’s entire coaching staff, “will be offered the opportunity to return next season”, but Fox will not be offered an extension of his contract, which expires after next season. Given the respect that Fox has around the league and the general thought that he could quickly find another job (heck, Norv Turner keeps getting hired), there is now speculation that Fox could leave of his own volition if his contract is not extended…
