I read this article and it got me thinking - a possible lawsuit against the BCS to try and stop the greed train? Not a bad idea, but it will never work. Everyone knows it's and unfair and rigged system, but it's run by a bunch of college administrators so it's got to be legit, right? Plus, can you imagine the lawyers they could hire with all the cash they bring in? It would make O.J's dream team look like a bunch of first year law students. Nice idea, and yes Utah has gotten hosed, but it's pretty worthless lawsuit in my book.
Here are some other lawsuits we could file to make news and have as good as chance of winning as the Utah's AG:
Erin Andrews for causing emotional distress to Rey Maualuga when he tried to dance with her and she wouldn't even turn around, smile or in any way give him the time of day.
After seeing the vote for NFL Offensive Player of the Year, I must say I'm totally confused. I'm sure all the "expert" sportswriters that rule these awards can give me excuses, but that's all they'd be is excuses.
How can the offensive player of the year get exactly 0 votes for MVP? That's zero as in 'none'. I'm not here to say he should have won, but no votes with those numbers? Peyton Manning was a worthy winner, but how can Brees be shut out completely?
Don't get too upset with what you are about to read. I don't have any far-fetched dreams that the plan I lay out below might actually work. But like those e-mails that you got when gas was 4 bucks a gallon telling you "if everyone didn't buy gas for one day, we could stick it to the oil companies", my take is "if no one watched the BCS championship game, we could stick it to the BCS and force them into a playoff". It's really does seem plausible if it were to happen, but really, really hard to execute. I know I'm not going to convince 30 million people to turn off their TV, but I have some other suggestions to reduce the ratings of the BCS title tilt.
Another NFL postseason has come and once again Peyton Manning and his Indianapolis Colts are going home earlier than expected. They entered the postseason as the hottest team in football and the San Diego Chargers promptly told them it meant nothing. So once again Manning will be watching the Super Bowl from the comfort of his living room just like the rest of us. Let's honor the Colts' flame-out with a look at a few celebrities who had flame-outs of their own.
Am I the only one that thinks it's messed up that I saw 2 teams that won their Wild Card game this past weekend dump the celebratory cooler of Gatorade over on a coach? Ken Whisenhunt got it after the Cardinals win over the Falcons and Cam Cameron, the Ravens offensive coordinator got a bath after Baltimore finished off the Dolphins.
Shouldn't the Ravens have at least soaked Rex Ryan? Since it was the defense that really dominated in the game?
Going into the 2008 football season the Kansas City Chiefs organization, fans, and the rest of the football world had very low expectations for the young Chiefs. An unproven quarterback in Brodie Croyle, young receivers, and not the best offensive line in the business. One of the things everyone was counting on was a healthy Larry Johnson to carry the load and bailout the inexperience of the youngest team in the NFL. Why wouldn't they? They signed him to a 5 year $43 million deal. $19 million guaranteed ($3.75 million in guarantees the Chiefs can get back next year for his legal issues). Instead of being a building block for the team, Larry acts like a kid himself. Getting arrested for throwing a drink in a woman's face and the non-stop complaining to the media throughout the season. He was late for practices and almost missed the flights to New England and Carolina. To top it off Larry Johnson tells the Kansas City Star
“Hopefully, my future is not with this organization,” It’s not (the Chiefs’) fault. Half of it is mine. Half of it is my off-the-field situation and other things that occurred.
“On the football field, my role definitely diminished when I came back. … I felt like I could have helped as much as I could have, but they shifted their powers to other players on the team. I feel as though the time is up in this city and this program.”
This week's "What the Hell?" on ebay are three "game used" bases from the St. Louis Cardinals old Busch Stadium. They are claimed to be rare and actually used in the final game. If you read the subtitle though, there are 50,000 of these things. That is not my definition of rare. Rare to me is 3. What are the odds that these 3 bases were actually used in the game. Unlike other "What the Hell?'' ebay listings, shipping is not free. What a cheapskate

All right boys I'm calling it. It's time for another one of those teary-eyed press conferences for the "future hall of famer" Brett Favre. He needs to do everyone a favor and go ahead and retire.
Now that Scott Pioli of the Patriots seems to have his pick of GM jobs for some teams that suck (that would be the Browns and the Chiefs if you haven't been paying attention), I have a couple questions. Pioli seemingly has done wonders as VP of Player Personnel, but let's be honest: as important as it may be, he's not held the GM position. And how much of Pioli's success can be directly correlated to Bill Belichick's coaching? I get the sense that Pioli could draw a QB's name out of a hat when he's evaluating talent and have that guy get to the Pro Bowl via the scheme in place in New England where seemingly average players suddenly become better.
Anybody else remember a couple of years ago when everyone thought Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel were the greatest coaches alive? They won Super Bowls with the Patriots and have perfected losing since leaving. I'm not saying Pioli will be a bust by any means, but I'm saying let's not order Super Bowl rings anytime soon for the team he goes to. I think Pioli could possibly end up like any of these young talents below who may have been prematurely thrust into the "great" category before we really saw their whole career play out:
Had a real nice close to the NFL regular season, let's build on that with some wildcard winners and some bonus futures. All lines are from BetUS as always.
Saturday
Atlanta at Arizona +1.5
Hearing that Arizona's first playoff home game since they were the Chicago Cardinals is a bit troublesome. It blows my mind that you finally have a reason to be happy about your team and you can't sell out in a new stadium. Having said that I think this is the only team that the Cardinals can beat. Ryan hasn't shown any signs of making rookie mistakes so I don't think that will be the cause. I think that Arizona is going to score early and make Atlanta come from behind neutralizing Turner making the Falcons pass the ball. Both teams can strike quick which I think will lead to a strong over (51) play as well. Especially if the Cardinals get up early since we know they won't run the ball.
