One Bowl Down, 27 — Holy Shit! 27?!? — to Go

By Peter ⋅ December 21, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Stop crying, Brett. Your Southern Miss Golden Eagles made up for a horrible season by winning the first bowl game of the year. USM knocked off a tougher-than-expected Arkansas State program 31-19. Sorry, Mr. 3 Toes, but that means the Indians covered the spread.
You can make up for it with tomorrow’s GMAC Bowl, when […]

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.

Fat Kid Does Good

Someone reminded all time NCAA career rushing leader and all around professional bust Ron Dayne that he plays in the NFL, is a running back, and that running backs are allowed — nay, are supposed to — run the ball.
Dayne rushed for 98 yards on just 7 carries in Thanksgiving’s other NFL game, giving […]

Larry Johnson, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
36 Rush, 211 yds, and 2 TDs vs. the Houston Texans on Nov. 21
Larry has Chiefs’ fans saying “Priest, who?” with his team-record 211 yards rushing against the Texas on Sunday.

Among some of the oddsnarks there’s a fine old tradition relating to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ current starting QB that dates back to his days as a University of Texas Longhorn. Specifically, Johnny 3 Toes has always insisted on referring to him exclusively as “Phil’s son.”
