Your 2009-2010 NCAA Playoff Bracket

As I’ve written about each and every year, a playoff in college football is not only necessary, but it is far more simple and achievable than the idiots at the BCS will have you believe (particularly the idiots who are in charge of their twitter page).
And speaking of the dipshits that run the BCS, among [...]

Mountain West Forced to Sign BCS Agreement

Left with no other options, the Mountain West conference reluctantly signed on with the BCS for another four years, signing a deal between ESPN and BCS that runs through the 2013 season.

Urban Meyer Demands Former Gators’ Support

Florida football coach Urban Meyer has drawn the line. You either blindly support the Gators and all decisions Meyer makes, or you are no longer welcome in the football offices as a former Gator.

Delaware Governor Rips NFL, NCAA on Gambling Hypocrisy

I’m beginning to really like Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware. Not only is he trying to get sports betting legalized in his state, but he isn’t afraid to call out the NFL and NCAA on their gambling hypocrisy.
In an interview with Real Clear Sports (Thanks: SbB), Markell points out the facts of the NFL [...]

BCS Antitrust Hearings Headed to Capitol Hill

The BCS is headed to Washington — Congress that is.
Thanks to Utah’s undefeated season, and years of criticism, the sports world’s most blatantly unfair and ridiculous postseason season may be facing a legitimate legal challenge that could change college football in the next few years.
The heart of the argument is that the current BCS system [...]

Matthew Stafford is Good at Wonderlic-ing

We’re finally getting our hands on the results of the NFL Scouting Combine’s Wonderlic results, and it turns out that not only can Matthew Stafford throw a football, he can read and write too.
Stafford scored a 38 on the problem-solving test, an outstanding number. Fellow quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Josh Freeman did well also, [...]

Final Combine Roundup and Top Performers

Everybody has taken the field at the 2009 NFL Scouting Combine, and we can now determine who the winners and losers were. Was there a Mamula-esque “Workout Warrior” this year?

Offensive Combine Roundup

As the weekend comes to a close, so does the offensive portion of the NFL Scouting Combine’s skill testing. Summary: Pat White is fast, Michael Crabtree is short, Andre Smith is missing, and Brian Mandeville suffered a career-ending diagnosis of his heart. Want the longer version?
Unfortunately, the biggest stories of the weekend [...]

Andre Smith AWOL From NFL Combine

Andre Smith, considered all season long as one of, if not the top offensive lineman in this year’s NFL draft, has gone AWOL from the NFL Scouting Combine, and the scouts are quickly dropping him down their lists.
Smith is a beast of a lineman, but has had issues following him before. He was suspended [...]
