Johnny Manziel is a legend and he’s 20 years old. In his opening season with Texas A&M last year, he lead the team to an epic win over Alabama during the season, demolished Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl, and capped off the season as the first freshman Heisman trophy winner.
Manziel is a hero around Aggieland and all over the country, but just being an athlete isn’t what makes you a legend. The guy rolls around town with multiple fake IDs in case one gets taken up. He could have spent the offseason training and working in his game, but fuck that noise, then he’d just be another quarterback. Manziel is anything but just another quarterback, he’s Johnny F’n Football. Continue reading
Friends, Netizens, countrymen, lend me your ears. For I come to bury college football, not to praise it. I don’t like college football. There, I said it. I’ve never really liked it. Oh I’ve tried watching it, but there are so many flaws in the college system that it makes my brain hurt. Every couple of years I forget what I have learned and catch a game on TV. And then I remember: “I hate this game”. Continue reading
Dear Andrew Luck,
You don’t know me, but I know you. As a matter of fact, I know more about you than is probably healthy or not weird, considering we’ve never met, nor are likely to.
Tomorrow night, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will go on stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, and a member of the Indianapolis Colts organization will hand him a card with your name on it. He will stand before God and the World and announce that with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select Andrew Luck, Quarterback, Stanford University.
Well Crassballers, sadly it’s that time of year again already, the end of the college football regular schedule. Here are some of the highlights of today’s action. Continue reading
An attorney who represents some of the alleged victims of Sandusky, Ben Andreozzi, is none too pleased with Penn State’s Board of Trustees.
“The board of trustees got it wrong. They should have consulted the victims before making a decision on Mr. Paterno… they should have considered these victims watch TV and are aware of the students’ reaction and may not want to be associated with the downfall of Mr. Paterno. The school instead elected to do what it felt was in its own best interest at the time. Isn’t that what put the school in this position in the first place?” I think the attorney has a point here.

One of the most storied conferences in College Football is going down in flames. After Nebraska and Colorado left the Big 12 last year the demise was well under way. Now, as of last night Texas A&M filed papers with the Big 12 commission announcing an intention to leave. There is little doubt that the Aggies will be joining the SEC along with another as yet unnamed team. There is speculation that the 14th team in the new SEC power conference will be either Virginia Tech or Missouri (turning the Big 12 into the Big 8). Continue reading
Miami football. It’s an institution. Is it coming to an end?
The Orange and Green have won 5 national championships. 9 Conference championships. From 2000 to 2003 they had 34 consecutive wins. 188 games without being shut out from 1979-1994. Miami star players go to the NFL. That’s just the way it is. Continue reading
Yesterday the attorney representing disgraced slightly inconvenienced former Ohio State Quarterback Terrelle Pryor compared the NCAA rule book to slavery.
Terry James told Sirius/XM’s “Jason & The GM” Show (Yeah, I have no idea what that is either) that the former Buckeye has been given the full Kunta Kinte treatment.
Depending on who you listen to, recently dismissed Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is either a snake who ran a dirty program that still couldn’t keep up with the SEC, or a decent man who went to great lengths to maintain the blissful ignorance needed to run a major college sports program. As with most debates involving two extremes, the truth likely lies somewhere in the middle, a place today’s media rarely shows in interest in exploring. Continue reading
