    Texas-Oklahoma St. game

    Is anybody watching this game? Right now, it's 102-102 with 0:10 left in the third overtime. I can't think of a regular season college basketball game that's been this good in a long, long time. Big dunks, clutch shots and a whole lot of JamesOn Curry. That's all. Speak up if you bet the under...

    Cowher, back to Pittsburgh?

    When Bill Cowher finally decides to come back to the NFL -- let's assume somewhere between 2008 and 2010 -- shouldn't the Steelers consider bringing him back? The way it looks, the Steelers will probably hire within, and from what I understand, Ken Whisenhunt appears to be the leading (and...

    Dinner with anyone ... Top-3

    A few of us had this discussion today: if you could have dinner with anyone -- past or present -- who would it be? My Top-3: 1. deck Vermeil (favorite person, ever) 2. Meatloaf (incredible passion for what he does) 3. Norman Fell (Mr. Roper from Three's Company ... sense of humor unmatched.)...

    Strahan vs. Reporter

    I'm not sure I got the whole story here, but apparently, ESPN's NY-based reporter Kelly Naqi got pushed around by Michael Strahan today. She wanted to ask him about some comments he made on NY-WFAN, and asked the question from afar (behind several other reporters). Before she could ask the...

    DVD Box Sets

    I'm usually not a DVD guy or a TV watcher, but I purchased both seasons of "Lost" a few weeks ago and love it. I'm looking to pick up another box set, but I'm not sure what to get. I'm hoping you guys have some good suggestions. Here's what I'm looking for: 1. Each episode must be at least 40...

    James Brown: paydirt

    Has anybody else noticed that when CBS goes to James Brown in the studios to give an in-game report, he always says "paydirt" on the TD highlight? It's driving me insane. Has anybody else noticed it? "He takes it in to paydirt" "Three yard run to paydirt" "He walks in to paydirt" "Paydirt...

    must-have magazines

    I'm about to get out the check book and subscribe to a new batch of magazines for 2007. Other than the obvious (Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, etc.), are there any real good sports/general magazines that you guys personally enjoy? I've heard some good things about the Basketball Times, is that...

    MLB Playoff Re-format

    I'm curious to hear some of your thoughts on the MLB playoff system. Do you like it or dislike it? Personally, I hate it. The one thing I love about the MLB, believe it or not, is the 162-game season. I always feel like the best 8 teams make the playoffs. I truly always feel that way. Unlike in...

    St. Joe's Hawk mascot fight

    For those of you that remember it, has anybody seen any video going around the internet of the St. Joe's Hawk mascot fight? The one where the Hawk kept flapping its wings during the timeout, while punching a guy in the face constantly? ...forever flapping. If anybody has the video, or knows...

    Hayden Fox - Coach

    OK, I've been Tivo'ing "Coach" lately -- and I forgot just how much I used to love that show. I just think it's got everything -- the perfect cast, the perfect storylines, a nice mix between humor, seriousness, and even, sometimes ... a dose of drama (when Hayden knew of a former player who took...

    Bob Knight reappears

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2597046 Bob Knight says "karma benches." I nearly forgot about that game a few years ago, when the bogus clock operators at Norman totally f'd up a TT win. Knight suggested at the time that Oklahoma forfeit the game, but it never happened.

    Vermeil and Steve Stone

    After watching deck Vermeil broadcast the game Sunday Night, I was blown away with how good he and Jaws were. Vermeil was unbelievable. He stayed out of the game and provided viewers with real insight -- and he actually injected some humor (Parker) ... and Gallery ("he switched positions, which...

    Worst Bet You Ever Lost

    What was the worst sports bet you ever lost? I've had several -- everything from a 2004 Syracuse vs. UConn football game hail mary (a Syracuse 45-yard pass as half expired cost me a halftime bet) ... to losing a hefty bet when the White Sox rallied BIG-TIME ... with Tadahito Iguchi hitting 7 RBI...
