Not that They’re Defensive or Anything

By Peter ⋅ December 6, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

oddSeth and his snark show no respect for bowl games based in Fort Worth. It’s terrible, really, the way he dismisses the mere idea. For there’s another Fort Worth Bowl this year — not really the same thing, just a new game with the same name. (No need to reinvent the wheel, as they say, […]

Mike McMahon, Look on the Bright Side

By Peter ⋅ December 6, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

You may have played a game in front of a national TV audience as if your quarterbacking skills had been shot all up with immobilizing foam, but at least you can say that your alma mater, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, made their first bowl game since 1978, and just their second ever. That’s something, right? […]

Hasselbeck Does United Way Commercial Like No Other Quarerback Does United Way Commercials

By Peter ⋅ December 6, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Hasselbeck drops back and it’s during the commercial break, so that’s strange. I’m wondering, who the hell has paid Matt Hasselbeck to be on a national TV commercial? The likeliest suspects would be Nike, Gatorade/Powerade, or The Hairclub for Men, I’m guessing.
There’s a close-up of the shoe, but there’s no swoosh or any other […]

The Provincial Report: Special Pullman, Washington Edition

By Peter ⋅ December 5, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Because out here in the Provinces, in addition to preferring our bears to be grizzly, our national parks to include snow mobiles, and our salmon to swim up river, we prefer our football to be collegiate. And so, herewith, Washington State Cougars in the NFL and how they did yesterday:
Quarterback Drew Bledsoe didn’t have his […]

And He Totally Dismisses the Lure of a Featured Spot on Cribs

By Peter ⋅ December 5, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Pete Carroll is apparently telling folks that the media is influencing Reggie Bush’s decision whether or not to declare for the NFL Draft next spring.
In his previous two games aginst college football competition Bush has totalled 786 yards and 4 touchdowns.
The previous two No. 1 overall draft picks have received a 6-year, $54 million contract […]

Kris Benson’s Home Page

By Peter ⋅ December 5, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Anna Benson’s husband has his own web site. Catch it quick before the New York Mets pitcher is no longer a New York Mets pitcher. It has all kinds of good stuff. OK, it doesn’t really have all kinds of good stuff. It does have Benson’s favorite links, none of which are www.dirtygoldiggingwhorewives.com or www.ilovekansascity.com. […]

Ha HA Ha HA HA Ha HA Ha HA Ha HA Ha, Part II

By Peter ⋅ December 5, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

New York’s Daily News (Motto: The Third Option) is reporting that the Yankees, the NEW YORK mothereffin YANKEES, lost between fifty and eighty-five million dollars for the 2005 season.
There are a lot of zeroes in numbers like those. And apparently that might not be all. MLB is looking into how much Steinbrenner and his […]

Note to College Football Writers & USC Hagiographers

By Peter ⋅ December 3, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Troy was its own place. Located in what is now Turkey. Before Rome was all big and stuff. So, when talking about the dominance of the USC Trojans, the comparison to Ancient Rome and all isn’t the most apt. Different places. Different times. I’m just sayin.

No, Seriously, John McEnroe to Play Again

By Peter ⋅ December 2, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I don’t know whether it’s because he’s seen what Navratilova has been able to do the past year or two or because he truly wants to boost the profile of doubles play or because years of various powders and a marriage to Tatum O’Neal coupled with a borderline personality disorder finally just tripped the wire. […]

Congressman: BCS “Deeply Flawed”; Everyone Else: Joe Barton “Deeply Retarded”

By Peter ⋅ December 2, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Here we are opening up the next chapter of Thank God There’s Not a War Going On or a Pending Energy Crisis on the Horizon or an Entire Region of the Country Layed to Waste or a Corrupt and Incompetent Administration in the White House that Might Distract Us from this Meaningful Bit of Business […]
