    SU football coach Paul Pasqualoni fired

    From ESPN.com... Good to see the new AD going in a different direction. Pasqualoni was a good coach, but the program had stagnated and recruiting was terrible. Can't imagine who they might go after that would be eager for the job, though -- it's not exactly one of the glamour jobs. They're probably going to end up with a coordinator from somewhere else.

    A New College Hoops Thread.....

    Because everyone is still fixated on the notion that Gonzaga is a Cinderella team, because they play in a low-major conference, even though they were top-5 in the country last year. It's one of the reasons why I'm glad the polls in college basketball are totally useless, unlike college football.

    The Amazing Race 6

    Didn't much need the clip show, but DAMN were there some fine racks tonight. Kudos to the producers for the bonus footage of Kris at the beach in Senegal.

    kkk NFL pick 'em Week 16

    They came through? The Eagles were playing their third stringers. The Eagles could've put the practice squad out there and I still wouldn't have been comfortable.

    kkk NFL pick 'em Week 16

    Wow, the Rams actually came through. Who'da thunk it. Now I can focus on getting that #1 seed. Incidentally, the tiebreaker order atop the AFC appears to be 1) CLE, 2) DEN, 3) BUF, 4) HOU.

    I liked the blog better.

    Pro Bowl rosters announced

    They should have just voted the entire Eagles team to the NFC roster. Same difference. Antonio Gates made the AFC squad, which made me happy. I love watching him play.

    Answer this question,

    Definitely bring one. They've cracked down on air crossings aince 9/11. It's not worth the hassle. Hell, I bring mine on domestic flights nowadays.

    Canadian PM Paul Martin visits Libya

    I've voted Liberal for 11 years, and I'll continue to do so. They're the only party whose policies I agree with, for the most part.

    *yawn* That was probably the least interesting thing I've read on the lockout since it started.

    Good God, people actually picked Syracuse? That was an ass-kicking of the first order.

    ESPN: A.P. to pull out of BCS next season

    A playoff system won't impact that, though. It would've been more accurate for me to have said that a playoff won't make people more or less likely to watch lesser bowls.

    ESPN: A.P. to pull out of BCS next season

    I think people are grossly overestimating the impact of a playoff system on the lesser bowls. People have ALWAYS watched the lesser bowls, even when you knew the two teams weren't playing for anything more an 8-4 season as opposed to 7-5. A playoff isn't going to change that -- people will still watch college football if it's on TV. All this system will likely do is crown three national champions instead of two, unless the NCAA takes away the power to crown a national champion from the polls.

    ACLU strikes again

    Source: World Net Daily Someone remind me again what good the ACLU does? This is disgusting. I'm all for laws that protect children, especially from abusive parents, but the principle has been carried way over the line (quite predictably, I might add). I'm curious as to how the ACLU even got wind of this case, given that it's four years old. Do they have someone on salary whose job it is to just go through old court transcripts?

    NFL Week 15

    I'm still shocked that the NFC West is so bad Arizona could still win the division. Here's how bad the NFC as a whole is: 1) The final wild card team is guaranteed to be no better than 8-8 (and that's only if one of the 6-8 teams wins both games); 2) New Orleans is tied for a playoff spot; 3) Everybody except San Francisco is still in playoff contention with 2 games left, even though only five teams have a .500 record. Six teams are 5-9 and only a game back.

    Hard to believe that I've matched the record of the real-life Broncos, given I was a game under .500 three weeks ago.

    NHL Rejects Union Proposal

    The teams were created 60-80 years before there even was a CFL. When the league was formed, the names were kept as they were. Ottawa's Rough Riders were named for the loggers who worked on the Ottawa River, and Saskatchewan's were named for (I believe) the unit that Teddy Roosevelt led in the Spanish-American War, as there were some Canadians in the regiment.

    NHL Rejects Union Proposal

    You have it backwards. Ottawa was the original Rough Riders, Saskatchewan came along later and called their team the Roughriders.
