Obama Supports Dog-Killer Vick, Jinxes Philadelphia Eagles vs. Minnesota Vikings

Exactly why the president of the United States felt the need to phone the Eagles’ coach to praise him for giving Michael Vick a second chance, I don’t know. What I do know is that it didn’t help the Eagles: The NFL’s first Tuesday game in 64 years produced a fittingly unusual result as Minnesota [...]

And Let Me Add, ‘Roll, Tide!’

Bemoaning the likelihood that Republicans will win their current battle with Democrats over extending the Bush tax cuts, progressive blogger David Kurtz reaches for an interesting analogy: It reminds me of the line attributed to the old football coach Bum Phillips, speaking about the legendary Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant: “He can take his’n and [...]

A Belated ‘Roll Tide!’

Yesterday, I was so excited by Jax State’s upset of Ole Miss that I forgot to blog Alabama’s 48-3 season-opening stomp of San Jose State. My buddy Tookie sent me the highlight video. At the 30-second mark, you’ll see ‘Bama’s backup QB throw 39 yards for a touchdown to Julio Jones, who makes a spectacular [...]

Jax State 49, Ole Miss 48

In double overtime! Down 48-41 in double overtime, Jacksonville State found itself in a fourth-and-long situation. After a few seconds of mad scrambling, quarterback Coty Blanchard flung the ball to Kevyn Cooper in the end zone, over 30 yards away. Cooper barely got one foot in bounds for the score. And then, Jacksonville State coach [...]

The Crimson Tide made Tim Tebow cry and knocked Colt McCoy out of the game on the fifth play from scrimmage, so there was never any doubt who would emerge as the victor in today’s post-season exhibition match at the White House: As Coach Bryant once said, “I think the most important thing of all [...]

For the Record, Barbara Espinosa Was Right and I Was Wrong . . .

. . . about the Saints winning the Super Bowl. My prognostication of a Colts victory represents a disastrous failure of judgment. All hail Barbara Espinosa. All hail the Saints.
