      Stranger than fiction: The Manti Te’o story

      January 17, 2013 /

      This Manti Te’o story is nuts. Was he the victim, or did he have something to do with it? When you see his interviews, he does come across and a wide-eyed sucker who could fall in love with a girl he never met. Now we know why online scams work so well. We’ll see how this story develops.

      Meanwhile, Twitter has been hilarious. Here’s my favorite funny tweet so far:

      LOL!

      The grand Chip Kelly experiment in Philly

      January 16, 2013 /

      The Philadelphia Eagles announced today that they will hire Chip Kelly as their new head coach. This comes as a surprise to many, as it appeared that Kelly was staying at Oregon. Perhaps the looming sanctions made him nervous again.

      We’re all interested to see how Chip Kelly’s offense will translate to the NFL, and all of the talking head are paid to give an opinion on it, but frankly none us know what he will do. We can probably expect him to continue with his up-tempo innovations, but who knows how much he’ll incorporate the read-option and/or a running quarterback into his pro offense.

      It will be fun to watch all of this play out, but as a tortured Browns fan I didn’t want to see this experiment happen in Cleveland, as I’m skeptical about running quarterbacks in the NFL. At least in Philly they have Micheal Vick, and with him I’d try anything. If he gets hurt just move on to the next guy.

      Alabama crushes Notre Dame; Katherine Webb steals the show

      January 8, 2013 /

      Yes, the game sucked, but Miss Alabama Katherine Webb became an instant sensation when the cameras identified her in the stands as AJ McCarron’s girlfriend. Brent Musberger was immediately smitten by this Southern beauty, which led to a series of hilarious tweets as people tried to find something fun to occupy their time during this epic beat down. This one was my favorite:

      Will the NCAA punish North Carolina basketball?

      December 23, 2012 /

      The NCAA was more than happy to deny USC and Ohio State chances to play in football bowl games, but will they take on North Carolina basketball? Remember that the NCAA has a financial interest in March Madness, but not in the BCS or the bowls.

      The academic scandal at North Carolina appears to go back decades, but the latest report doesn’t even go into whether specific athletes at North Carolina were involved. The report looks like a joke for trying to avoid the issue of athletes taking fraudulent classes.

      Now, will the NCAA even bother taking a look?
