Outback Bowl vs. Georgia: Serious Let-Down for Michigan State
On paper, the Outback Bowl: Michigan State vs. Georgia is a great game. Two schools that are much more worthy of being in the BCS than Virginia Tech, and probably more deserving than Michigan. So clearly, it's a better game than the Sugar Bowl. And the Orange Bowl too. Clemson is nothing special, and no Big East team, let alone West Virginia should be allowed anywhere near … [Read more...] about Outback Bowl vs. Georgia: Serious Let-Down for Michigan State

Detroit Lions Stumbling Down the Stretch as Suh Spirals Downward
It is true that officials are putting the Detroit Lions players under a microscope after the dirty play of defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh? Even if that's true it doesn’t equate to the type of ineptness the team has shown of late. Since a 5-0 start, the Lions have degenerated into 7-5, losing three of their last four.

I decided to … [Read more...] about Lessons Learned from Ultimate Fighter Finale
White Sox Trade Closer to Blue Jays for Prospect; Rebuilding Mode: ACTIVATE!
The Chicago White Sox have fairly boring so far this hot stove league. And I guess it makes sense given hwo they went "all in" last year. It was a great marketing slogan, even though the end result was a train wreck of phantasmagoria. Time to undue the damage I guess.
