of course he's getting fined for that because why wouldn't he? Stupid.

4 degrees at kickoff. Holy hell

Wow. Tape of Joe Mixon beating a girl released. Wonder how this effects his draft stock. http://newsok.com/article/5531208?utm_source=NewsOK.com&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=NIC-Twitter

P90x? :-)

saw someone comment that Lane Kiffin's coaching career is like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Oakland Raiders then Tennessee then USC then Bama OC then Florida Atlantic.

Indeed. That's a beautiful shot.

Really, really hoping the Saints pick him up. There you go, thinking the Saints are capable of having a good draft. Indeed. These drafts have been especially sucky lately because Brees by himself is good enough to keep them from getting a top 5 pick.

Pick up Swag Kelly in the 6th coming off his ACL injury. In a heartbeat, yes. Really, really hoping the Saints pick him up.

Pick up Swag Kelly in the 6th coming off his ACL injury.

you were saying? Indeed. Let's try this again. Joey Freshwater to FAU. RIP Kiffin's Krimson Korner.

So long, Uncle Verne :-(

Gwynn obviously faced better talent, and you definitely got the "white" part correct, but they weren't slobs. Baseball was THE sport in America at that time, thus EVERYONE with any athletic ability played it. Granted, your talent pool was like 1/10th what it is now due to smaller population and the obvious demographic barriers, but the guys who made it to the majors back then were still the most elite (white) athletes and ballplayers of their time. It's not like some rube from Nebraska could just show up at Yankee stadium with a bag on a stick over his shoulder and knock on the door and be like "hey! I'm good, let me play!" Though the modern farm system wasn't developed until the 40's, they still had very extensive minor leagues back then and just like today you had to work your way up. You also have to take into account how much of baseball is skill-based as opposed to being purely athletic-based. "Baseball skill" translates throughout the eras to a large degree. Ken Griffey played against and struggled against a guy like Rick Reuschel. 20 years earlier Rick Reuschel was getting clobbered by guys like Pete Rose. 20 years before that Rose was getting dominated by guys like Warren Spahn. 20 years before that Spahn was getting smacked around the yard by Jimmie Foxx. 20 years before that Foxx was getting punked by Walter Johnson and so on... There's no argument that the talent pool is much larger and players today are obviously bigger, stronger, and faster. Duh, of course they are. So ya, you time machine 1930 Lou Gehrig into the 2017 Cubs lineup and he for damn sure isn't going to be hitting .340 like he was 75 years earlier. However, due to how much natural skill is involved with baseball, I think your guys like Williams, Ruth, Cobb, or Gehrig would still be elite today if they had been raised with the same nutrition and physical training opportunities as modern players.

Try this one on for size. Spring of 2006. Nick Saban is still the coach for the Dolphins. He needs a QB and so he brings in Drew Brees and Dante Culpepper for workouts. He goes with Culpepper and the Dolphins go 6-10 and Saban quits and goes to Bama. Let's just say he chose Drew Brees. Saban might still be the coach of the Dolphins. There is no Bama resurgence. There is no New Orleans Saints Super Bowl, which means that the Saints are likely the San Antonio Saints. Oh, and without Bama in the way, Houston freaking Nutt may have won back to back SEC Championships at Ole Miss in 07 and 08 and is probably still their coach.

Kiffin to Houston

Eh, good writers should be able to formulate their arguments against certain guys like Jeff Kent or whomever they get called out on. What this does is put those 16 idiots who didn't vote for Maddux in an impossible spot now that they actually have to defend that crappy non-vote.

Still like the 4 team playoff, Derwood?

It's their MO. They have a +178 point differential in the second half Good grief. Opposite of my poor Rebs who are -121 this season in second half. They infamously blew two 21 point leads against Bama and FSU.

Yeah where was this is in the first half

Yeah it was nice.

Uhhhhhhh, look at his season stats. He's not poor at all 2976 Yards, 21 TD, 5 INT Well I stand corrected. This is the only time I've seen him play.

How did Penn State win so many games with such a poor QB?

So fired up about this!

Excellent point. I've said it many times, but a New Years Day with all 4 quarterfinal games being played throughout the day would be the most epic sports day in America. You could'nt have the round of 8 that late. You'd have to do the quarterfinals sometime between championship week and new year's day, probably at the top seeds' home stadiums Why not? So what if the championship game is on January 14th or whatever? One extra week of football for the 2 teams that play in the finals isn't that big of a deal.
