Great column by Clay Travis about UK football, especially the part about Andre’ Woodson, or the man with “an apostrophe after his name for no reason.”
Can you imagine how tough it was for Woodson to get down the rules for possessives in elementary school when he already had an apostrophe after his name? How many nights did he lie awake at night staring at the ceiling because his story about Andre’’s toys had come back riddled with red ink over the presumed excessive possessive? What about his fellow classmates? I guarantee you right now there are a ton of Andre’’s classmates who still have no idea when to use an apostrophe. For the record, my friend Tardio claims this apostrophe is there because Woodson “preemptively owns everything.”
Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy didn’t like this column by The Oklahoman’s Jenni Carlson. So after Saturday’s game, he let her and everyone else know about it:
If you have any problems watching the video, you can also see it here.
Anybody else seen this movie? It came out on DVD this week. I saw it in the theater, but then purchased it on pay-per-view and watched it again last night. Simply outstanding, and it’s quickly climbing my list of favorite movies.
Maybe you’ve seen the “Leave Britney alone” video making the rounds. I’m not linking to it because it’s got some profanity in it, but if you want to see it you’ll find it on YouTube without too much trouble.
I’ve started an NFL Pick’em contest on Yahoo. League name is Gridiron Guessers. Password is ellsworth. There’s room for 50 people. Everyone’s welcome to play.
Outstanding column by Mike Adams about Michael Vick, dogfighting, abortion and moral inconsistency. How indicting it is that we as a nation are outraged by the brutality of dogfighting, yet are perfectly accepting of abortion. Killing dogs is repulsive, but killing children is a matter of personal choice.
Jonathan Lee Riches is suing Vick for — get this — stealing his two pit bulls, selling them on eBay and using the proceeds to buy missiles from Iran.
I don’t know what the going rate is for pit bulls, but if Vick is selling them to buy missiles — well, either those dogs have a Warren Buffet-type touch in the stock market, or those are some really lousy missiles.
Riches is seeking $63 billion in damages — or, as he put it in his handwritten lawsuit, “$63,000,000,000 billion.”
Jacksonville Jaguars’ linebacker Mike Peterson’s foundation has been involved in charitable causes for a couple of years. This year, Peterson is hosting a free football camp for children, with several NFL players scheduled to take part.
“It cuts out a lot of kids when it’s not free,” Peterson said. “That cut me out when I was a kid. I never went to a camp.”
Space is limited to approximately 250 campers and each participant will receive a camp t-shirt and an autographed photo from Peterson. While football will be taught, Peterson is looking forward to also having the young children interact with his teammates and peers.
“We are going to take breaks from playing ball and just talk to them,” Peterson said. “I want them to see a NFL player with their pants pulled up or a NFL player respecting an older woman with ‘yes maam or no maam’ in a lunch line. These kids see that and then they know how it’s supposed to be.”
In a day when we hear too much about thugs like Pacman Jones, Michael Vick and practically the entire Cincinnati Bengals team, it’s refreshing to read something like this.
Washington Redskins players Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels defended Michael Vick on Monday by ridiculing the notion that dog fighting is considered a crime.
In an interview with WAVY-TV, Portis said that if the Atlanta Falcons quarterback is charged and convicted of being involved in a dog fighting operation, then authorities would be “putting him behind bars for no reason.”
“I don’t know if he was fighting dogs or not,” Portis said. “But it’s his property; it’s his dogs. If that’s what he wants to do, do it.”
Portis said dog fighting is a “prevalent” part of life.
Portis later issued a statement that said, “In the recent interview I gave concerning dog fighting, I want to make it clear I do not take part in dog fighting or condone dog fighting in any manner.”
No, of course not, Clinton. How would we ever get that idea?
I think dog fighting is reprehensible, but it’d be interesting to see about 10-15 pit bulls have a crack at Portis.
The NFL came down hard on two of its biggest thugs, suspending Pacman Jones of the Tennessee Titans for the entire 2007 season and Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals for half the season.
Wow, lead your team to an NFL-best 14-2 record, and get canned. That’s what happened to former San Diego Chargers head coach Marty Schottenheimer last night.
Wiese, a die-hard fan of the Chicago Bears, signed a pledge in front of a crowd at a Decatur bar last Friday night that if the Bears lost Sunday’s Super Bowl, he’d change his name to that of the man who led the Indianapolis Colts to victory.
I’m guessing Wiese was sufficiently inebriated when he made the wager.
Talk about tonight’s game here, if you have anything to say. I haven’t seen Lovie Smith’s comments yet, but Tony Dungy was as classy as I expected him to be.
From our predictions, it looks like Brett and Carolyn came the closest, so congratulations to them.
Also, I fast-forwarded through most of the commercials, so let me know if there are any that were good enough for me to go back and watch.
