the "bada bing" jokes, and references to Jimmy
Hoffa start if the Miami Dolphins name Cowboys
Assistant Tony Sparano as their head coach.
NFL/NCAA You would think that after the
failed experiment with Steve Spurrier and the
failure of Nick Saban, coupled with the Bobby
Petrino fiasco, that would be enough to discourage
owners from going after college coaches hot and
heavy, but apparently this hasn't diswayed the
man the suffered the worst of these shames.
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank of the
aforementioned Bobby Petrino embarrassment
is now going after Pete Carrol, and offering to
give him everything but the team itself.
Though I'll be the first to say that I respect
Carroll a heck of alot more than the other three,
his record in the NFL (33-31) and recent history
still would lead you to believe that you might wanna
go in a different direction. Will they ever learn???
NFL If Tony Romo going to Mexico with Jessica
Simpson is the biggest headline a sportswriter
can come up with this week, it's time to look
for a new profession.
NBA As dismal as the Knicks look this season, may
I remind you that there are three teams with worse
records than them. Miami Heat (Shaq, Wade, Pat Riley),
the Seattle SuperSonics (#2 Pick Kevin Durant, Kurt
Thomas, Wally Szczerbiak), and the Minnesota
Timberwolves who have every excuse in the book to
be this bad (5-29)
NCAA Football After the job June Jones did for
Hawai'i's football program it's no wonder he had the
Governor begging him to stay, and even less wonder
that he left and the Athletic Director got canned for
taking him for granted. At SMU, Eric Dickerson's
Alma Mater, he gets a better budget, better facilities,
and probably a better shot to compete for a national
championship if his team goes 12-0. I just wonder
how the Rainbows are going to handle opening the
2008 season against Florida now that they lost
both Jones, and their Heisman Trophy candidate
Quarterback Colt Brennan, and the schools all
time reception leader Davone Bess, who leaves a
year early to head for the NFL Draft.
