    Sean Taylor's Death is a Tragic Wake-Up Call

    Tragedies like Sean Taylor's death are a wake-up call for pasty, coach-potato sports fans like myself. It's easy for us Morlocks to forget that professional athletes are more than just highlight reels and stat sheets (and rap sheets). We get so caught up in scanning box scores for our fantasy stats

    Loser of the Week (Week 13)

    LET'S NOT PLAY GAMES WITH WORDS ANYMORE — MAYBE COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS OUTRIGHT WAR?Seeing a #1 Tigers fall and another Tigers vault to #1 got me to thinking. Why do 'rebel states' have such a fondness for sharing mascots? The SEC is the only conference with matching team names, happening not twice,

    Loser of the Week (Week 12)

     IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL, DOES A BACK-UP QUARTERBACK PLAYING FOR A FAVORITE QUALIFY AS AN UNDERDOG? The mailbox here at the Loser of the Week (LoW) offices were stuffed last week with letters of confusion, anger and, occasionally, compassion. A Pitt Panther fan wrote in, ‘This is supposed to be s

    Is Roger Clemens Jesus?

    In a move that may signal the end of Roger Clemens’ annual retirement tradition, the Rocket reportedly began talks with the Houston Astros last Wednesday about rejoining their organization as a pitching consultant. Even if Clemens decides against consulting for the Astros, I know the 45-year old s

    How Baseball Can Solve the Replay Problem

    Forget the showy NFL system, MLB should shoot for invisibility.Whenever I hear sports fans and analysts talk about the potential upcoming addition of instant replay to the MLB I get surprised by the hesitation, and sometimes direct rage, against the idea.

Which is unfair, considering the hit he took to his knee was one to lay even the most du

    NFL Randomizer

     Any more whining for us this week, Ray? -It's far past time to pile on the pitiful Ravens and the complete freefall they are in. Getting hammered by a Super Bowl caliber team like the Steelers on the road is one thing, getting beat by the lowly and struggling Bengals at home is quite another.

    When Upset Meets Obsession

    Insert "honeymoon is over" joke here. Billy Gillespie couldn't ask for a worse start as the new head coach for the Kentucky Wildcats. I'm sure he was prepared for most of it: the insane expectations, the unparalleled scrutiny and the insane focus the media in Lexington, Kentucky puts on that basket

    Peterson Blowing Up the NFL

    This just in: The Raiders want a draft do-over. The one record I most wanted to be broken in NFL football was the single-game rushing record. It never quite sat right with me that Jamal Lewis got to hold that record after beating up on a sorry Browns defense. Even though they would never admit it

    The Essence of Crappy Coaching

    Tony Dungy – you are a wimp! Your Colts had no business losing Sunday’s game to New England. This is your fault, sir. Let’s start in the first quarter. No score. Your defense has just made a statement by putting Tom Brady on his back. So it’s Colts ball again, and here comes Peyto

    Loser of the Week (Week 10)

     LOSER OF THE WEEK: NAVY Yes, Navy finally beat Notre Dame — after, what, 43 straight loses — but it’s hard to consider a triple-overtime win to the Water-splashing Irish much of a win these days. Not only did Navy have to endure a questionable potentially game-ending pass-interference ca
