The POTUS makes his picks…
Hard to argue with any of his picks, but I don’t think Villanova is going to the Final Four this year. Yes, their guards are good, but they’re lacking size now that Dante Cunningham is gone.

Blogging the Bloggers: Banning cheerleaders, Jon Gruden hates ESPN and more
- On his blog over at YARDBARKER, Brendan Haywood wonders what a lot of us are wondering — what in the hell was Arizona State thinking when they refused to give President Obama an honorary degree when he spoke at the school’s commencement? - YEP YEP has a post entitled, “Athletes and their ridiculous cars,” which is pretty self-explanatory. I think my favorite is Travis Outlaw’s lime green ’96 Impala. WTF? - DEADSPIN finds it highly ironic that Jon Gruden is working for ESPN after digging up some interesting quotes that Chuckie has given us over the years about the Worldwide Leader. It’s nice to have a President that knows a little something about sports. He filled out a bracket for ESPN, but he picked North Carolina to win it all, so he must have missed the news about Ty Lawson’s big toe. (Or maybe he knows something I don’t.)

BCS supporters criticize Obama’s plan to implement a playoff for college football Okay, so not everybodylikes Barack Obama’s plan to implement a playoff system into college football:
All of the above comments can fit into one translation: “Listen Obama, we’re all making a crap load of money with the way the current format is set up. It’s not about the fans that line our pockets with luscious money – it’s about the luscious money. So how about you shut your damn mouth and keep things the way they are, huh?” Barack Obama is in favor of a college football playoff
Barack Obama said in an interview that he favors a playoff system in college football over the BCS system.
I’d love to see him pull this off. Rick Reilly plays fantasy football with Barack Obama I’ve been meaning to post something about Rick Reilly’s new gig, but I just haven’t been able to find an angle that didn’t make me sound like a hater. Based on what I’ve read of his work, I’m not really sure how he got to where he is. I guess I should take notes, however, because the guy has my dream job. Last year, he signed a big deal with ESPN the Mag to become its back page columnist. I have read just about every one of those columns and have come away unimpressed. Now he has a piece where he describes flying to Dayton, Ohio to pick his weekly (salary cap) fantasy football team with none other than Barack Obama. Now, The Scores Report is apolitical, but let’s just say I would have jumped at this opportunity. It’s a good read, especially for those voters out there that like their Presidents to be sports fans.
Ditka spoke about his possible candidacy to CNN News in an interview, and he does play the “what if” game:
Ditka added that he gave serious consideration to running as the Republican nominee, but citied family and business obligations in declining the invitation. A staunch conservative, Ditka stated that he is firmly behind the McCain/Palin ticket come November. |
