Accountability is alive and well in College Football …

September 3, 2007

 

A lot of people think Joe Paterno may be too old to roam the sidelines for Penn State. Perhaps. The last season or two have been pretty good for the Nittany Lions. But, no matter what, you can’t deny the fact that Coach Paterno expects a certain amount of discipline with his team. Back in April, several players were charged with fighting at an off campus party. Well coach has finally given his punishment. The entire team will clean the stadium after home games. The entire team! This is why I love sports. Especially team sports. The actions of one individual, or in this case 6, affect the entire team. And you have to love a coach who still has the gonades to instill a certain amount of discipline without fear. The kicker in all this … spectators can pay money to watch the team clean up the stadium. How is that for ego busting!! Where does the money go you ask? To help subsidize Penn State’s other sports. It’s good to know that discipline is never old fashion!


Football season is here …

Probably the best predictions I’ve seen. Comparing to Star Wars, nice going …


 

Predicted NFL Standings for

We asked ourselves, “How should we present our predictions for the season?” Using Star Wars characters was the obvious answer. Actually, Star Wars is the answer to most important questions.

 

 

 

Prediction

AFC EAST

Star

Wars

Character

New England 11 - 5 Emperor Palpatine Keeps Darth Vader (below) on a tight leash. Used to be terrifying, but now is just old and wrinkled.

Its a new Baseball Season …

April 10, 2007

I just love the beginning of a new season. So in celebration of the new season, always remember … Chicks Dig the Long Ball. Take a look, one of my all time favorite commercials and not because it starred two Atlanta Braves …

Here’s a list of my all time favorite baseball movies …

  1. The Natural
  2. Field of Dreams
  3. Bull Durham
  4. The Rookie
  5. For Love of the Game

For those non-Kevin Costner fans, all I can say is that he may not be the best actor in the world. However, its his passion for the game that comes through in these movies, which out shines the fact that he can’t act.


Peyton Manning on SNL

April 9, 2007

if you haven’t seen this, it’s pretty funny. Self-deprecating humor, I believe, is perhaps the funniest form of humor there is. Peyton pokes fun of himself and his reputation, following some great athletes who have done the same on SNL. Enjoy …
