Why Is the Little League World Series Televised?
Posted by klownboy in sports blogging on August 31, 2011
Congrats to the team from California who won the Little League World Series this past weekend. Those kids will have memories that they will share with their kids and grandkids for the rest of their lives. Too bad ESPN’s family of networks made some money off of them. I have a huge problem with ESPN’s […]
Richardson not Wrong in What He Told Newton
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on August 30, 2011
Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson told a local sports radio talk show host about the suddenly controversial conversation with Cam Newton before this year’s draft. He told Newton not to get any tattoos nor piercings during that conversation, with the point being that he wanted a clean-cut player as the face of his franchise. This […]

Best QBs in the NFL
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on August 23, 2011
Another day, another spirited “Who’s the best” debate. I was listening to “Mike and Mike in the Morning” when co-host Mike Greenberg received lots of hate mail for ranking Phillip Rivers ahead of Ben Roethlisberger. People argued Big Ben has more rings than Rivers (2 rings to none), but Greenberg argued that Rivers has better […]
Wanna Fix the BCS? Add a “Plus 1″
Posted by klownboy in college football, sports blogging on August 22, 2011
I tuned in to ESPN’s Outside the Lines yesterday morning to see “College Football: Blueprint for Change” special. I must say I was not disappointed. It was compelling all the way around. Two of the most influential college football coaches in the game (Nick Saban and Bob Stoops) engaged in good debates with ESPN’s college […]
New Kickoff Rule Sucks
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on August 19, 2011
The more preseason games I see, the more I hate that stupid new kickoff rule. Not only is it a stupid rule, it’s a stupid-ass rule. The NFL moved the kickoff from the 30-yard line to the 35, citing player safety concerns. You should have heard the sarcasm coming from FOX Sports’ Joe Buck when […]
NCAA Needs to Hammer Administrators More than the Students

So we have another sordid scandal in college football. As the saying goes, “brand new day, same ‘ol (spit). First it was Ohio State. Then it was UNC, followed by Boise State and Georgia Tech. Now Miami has joined the salacious college football scandal club. In that scandal, it looked like EVERYONE was on the […]
The “U” Is in BIG Trouble

A school is linked to a sordid booster is one thing. If said booster is a felon for running Ponzi schemes has an axe to grind, then look the hell out. Nevin Shapiro, a former Miami booster who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, has told Yahoo! Sports […]
The Greatest Running Backs of All Time
Posted by klownboy in NFL, sports blogging on August 16, 2011
I was listening to a sports radio talk should a few days ago when I heard a discussion of the best running backs to date. A lot of people were banging the Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson drums. Johnson once proclaimed himself to be the best. While I would not go that far with […]
