Tebow at Heart of Opinions on Religion and Sports
The fact that you win or lose does not mean Jesus Christ, or any other mythical diety, is or is not on your side. You are not being rewarded, punished or challenged to do better. You simply won. Or you lost. Leave those biblical passages in the locker room.
Fire Bowden? How About Fire Mickey?
Sure, Bobby Bowden could have spared himself all this grief by retiring gracefully a few years ago. But why isn’t once-vaunted defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews being blamed just as lustily for FSU’s slide into mediocrity? Just askin’.
Finally … Football Season is Nearly Upon Us!
It’s WAY too early to start making crazy declarations and prognostications regarding the upcoming season (unless your name is Lev Davidovich Wuerffel), but I just had to log on to say that I got a bit tingly today when the first USA TODAY college football coaches’ poll was released with the Florida Gators perched firmly [...]
Lane Kiffin’s Bones Will Be Urban’s Bread
Oh, Lane, you just don’t know what you’re getting into, do you? If you don’t know, Mr. Kiffin is the new coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, who must have been mighty impressed by that 5-15 record he posted as coach of the Oakland Raiders. Mr. Kiffin surely thinks he has brass balls: he’s got a [...]
… It’s Great To Be A Florida Gator!
Ahmad Black’s steal of an interception. Riley Cooper in his swan song before heading to pro baseball. Percy Harvin at only 90 percent(!). Aaron Hernandez on shuttle passes.

I’ve consulted with friends, family, seers, and most importantly my rabbit hound Big Boy, and have concluded that Florida will win big tonight over Oklahoma. Let’s call it a 10-point margin with an O/U of 75. Go Gators!
Is Tyrod Taylor Following in Marcus Vick’s Footsteps?
Virginia Tech sophomore QB Tyrod Taylor is an unquestionable talent. But he’s also an undeniable prick whose taunting and posing will catch up to him one day.
Bowl Preseason Wasn’t Pretty
The bowl “preseason” was not kind to me — I correctly picked the winner in only 3 of 8 games (though I am quite proud of my Notre Dame pick). The real games start today with both FSU and Miami trying to kick off their 2009 campaigns in style. I hope they do; I picked [...]
Let’s Go Bowling!
I know you’ve been anxiously anticipating my bowl picks, so without further delay, here they are — with the bowls’ older, traditional names. Screw the sponsors. (This post will be updated throughout the bowl season with results.)
Tebow’s Plight Recalls a Tale of Heismans Past
Shame on the 17 percent of Heisman Trophy voters who left Tim Tebow off their ballot this year. And shame on me for leaving Peyton Manning off mine in 1997?
