Shitler Shravesty
As you may have heard, Lou Holtz compared Rich Rodriguez to Hitler, in some weird clumsy way... nobody quite understood the senile old man, including his castmates Mark May and Rece Davis. Holtz apologized on Saturday morning and ESPN will apprarently not discipline him, despite suspending Jemele Hill a few months ago for referencing Hitler in one of her columns. Interesting. Holtz is useless, anyway, so why not suspend him? It's not like he's adding anything.
Schlabach Continues To Be of Questionable Intelligence
Mark Schlabach, who writes inane article after inane article and yet still gets paid by ESPN, has another doozy out today. While everyone who watches college football has been impressed with Texas meeting the challenges they've faced and looking at the gauntlet of a schedule that they have to get through to make a potential National Title Game, Schlabach writes an "Is Texas Good?" article. Nice. I could break this down and point out what an idiot he is, but just read it yourself. You don't need help seeing how weird his argument is.
Thanks For Stopping By For 2008, Wisconsin
Wow, I guess after Pryor ran that one in against the Badgers at home on October 4, the Wisconsin team folded the tent, huh? Two straight tough losses and then they get blown out by Penn State and then.... 38-16 against Iowa? Really, Badgers? Weren't people talking about them as a Rose Bowl or even National Title contender just a month ago? 0-4 in the Big Ten... hey, welcome to the bottom of the heap, Wisky.
Moving to the NFL, It's Fun Watching the Cowgirls Implode
There's talk here in Texas about Wade Phillips being fired. I guess if he had stepped on Tony Romo's finger and broken it, or if he maybe had billyclubbed a better offensive line's collective kneecaps, then you could fault him for the 'Boys current skid. But seriously, did people think that a line that couldn't keep Romo from getting hurt was going to suddenly and skillfully protect 40-year-old relic Brad Johnson and they Cowboys would just roll?
Either way, for a Giants fan like me, it's fun to watch. Now up two in the loss column, and a tough division path ahead of them looks a little bit more navigable.
Mike Alstott Honored at Bucs Game
The ole A-Train got a well-deserved honor at the half of the Bucs game this weekend, being presented with two framed jerseys. One was his first one, in those hideous pre-1997 Tampa Bay jerseys that were basically synonymous with losing... and his name was spelled "Alsott" on it. Good to see the former Boilermaker -- and a favorite of ours -- being given full attention like that. Mike's a guy who just went to work every day and was never about the personal, individual honors, yet he has frequently deserved them. Good for you, Mike.

Saw the Alstott item on Uni Watch this morning. Turns out, the misspelling was intentional: that's how his name appeared on the jersey in his first two professional games. I think the jerseys they framed were supposed to represent his first game and his last game, so it makes sense for the misspelling to be there - I'd even say it's a nice touch.
Right, but the misspelling wasn't intentional when they originally did it. And yes, it was done to represent his first jersey with the hapless Bucs.
Cowboys are s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g (I can just hear Joe Namath saying that word right now during his interview with Kolber). The Steelers will help(?) the Cowboys when they welcome Plaxico back to Heinz Faield and then use him as a doormat and wipe him and the G-Men up...There's no stopping Big Ben and company...Eli look out for James Harrison.
Is Mike Alstott interested in an O-Coord position at his alma matre?
