I can’t believe they actually fired him! (a.k.a. – what I learned this weekend)

Well, I run off to work today and in the quagmire that is my day job I didn’t hear about Charlie Weis getting fired immediately.  However, I did get in the car and hear about it within 5 seconds of having the radio on sports talk (I listen to 790 down here…mainly because they aren’t [...]

Heisman Hopefuls: Trio of QB’s Lead the Way

As college football’s regular season draws to an end, we have yet to see anyone separate themselves from the rest of the pack and become the clear frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. Just like the six undefeated teams packed closely atop the BCS Rankings, there are six players all very much in the discussion for who [...]

Money’s Counter

Everyone wants to see the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight, everyone except Floyd Mayweather Sr., who apparently has some issues, and said recently that he thinks Pacquiao’s ability to absorb punches is because he is using steriods and doesn’t want his son to have to fight him. Not unless they get more than 50% of the [...]

Rivalry Weekend is Here!

Ahhhh, it’s Rivalry Weekend and we can finally get to spoiling and making seasons with games that we all want to call before they’ve begun and yet they never turn out the way we thought.  They just never do.  I suppose you could say that Rivalry Weekend is a form of a playoff because many [...]

My family faithfully took a walk after each Thanksgiving dinner.  [...]

Football is Making Me Pick Early!

If you follow me on Twitter (genxxlgeneral) then thank you!  You also read one of my tweets yesterday that came right after I read the following headline on the ESPNews ticker “Bills contact Bill Cowher and he declines.”   The Tweet said something like “The Bills are so far beneath Bill Cowher that the 9th level [...]

8 Ways To Quit Eating Junk Food: Part 1 of 2

This is a fairly straightforward question. Junk food or healthy, clean food? It’s not a hard one, but so many people don’t know the answer to it. They stuff their faces with cakes and tinned sausages, and then have the nerve to turn around and ask, ‘Why am I fat?’ It’s not an exact science [...]

Nothing Makes Me Crazier Than…

The Chiefs beating the Steelers after I said “the Chiefs are worthless”.  Nothing is more irritating than a pathetic and worthless team beating a perfectly legitimate team for absolutely no reason.  If Matt Cassel is going to be a failure he needs to stay that way so I can keep my bearings in the NFL.  [...]
