      “Bobby Petrino changes jobs like we change clothes”

      December 14, 2007 /

      Kige Ramsey of “YouTube Sports” weighed in on the Bobby Petrino situation and as usual, Ramsey’s insights were terrific.

      First and foremost, I’m glad to see Kige is in the festive mood – those Christmas directions really bring a lot to this clip. More importantly, I love the fact that Kige took, “three to four hours” to come to the conclusion that Petrino ditching a team made sense. Had Kige not taken that much time to think about this issue, he might have just assumed that Petrino stiffing the Falcons was a random act.

      The bottom line is that nothing – and I mean NOTHING – is getting past Kige Ramsey (of YouTube Sports).

      2007 Year End Sports Review

      December 14, 2007 /

      Years from now, when people look back on 2007, what will they remember as the defining sports moment? Geez, will they have to pick just one? We had crooked refs and sideline spy games, O.J. back in court, a memorable Rockies run, a damaging Rocket revelation, a Brett Favre revival and perhaps the biggest upset in college football history. Meanwhile, months after one franchise quarterback finally shut critics up and hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, another franchise quarterback was hauled off to prison for his role in a dog fighting ring. Nice.

      We’ve done our best to recap the year’s biggest sports stories, staying true to tradition by breaking our Year End Sports Review into three sections: What we learned, What we already knew, and What we think might happen. Up first are the things we learned in 2007, a list that’s littered with scandal, steroids, espianoge and young sluggers.

      OHIO U. MAKING NOISE IN THE MAC

      December 14, 2007 /

      Coach Tim O’Shea played for Coach Gary Williams at Boston College and obviously learned his lessons well. On Wednesday his Ohio U. Bobcats handed Maryland only their fourth non-conference home loss since 1989. After dominating the game from the opening tip the Bobcats have shown why they could help the MAC become a multi bid league this year. Currently, there are 6-2 with their only losses coming on the road by two against Holy Cross and Temple.

      With Jerome Tillman and Leon Williams Ohio has arguably the best 3 and 4 man in the league. They continue the road trip with a Saturday contest against Kansas and then head to Hawaii where they will face St. Johns in the first round of the Rainbow Classic.

      Big wins over ACC opponents are not new to the Bobcats and Coach O’Shea. They have also beaten North Carolina and Virginia in his tenure. Coupled with a trip to the NCAA tournament a couple of years ago, it is easy to see why he was on the list for a number of openings last season. Another big run and he could be moving on.

      Parker and ESPN taking shots at Mitchell Report

      December 13, 2007 /

      Rob Parker of the Detroit Free Press made an interesting point on ESPN in the wake of Senator George Mitchell’s report on performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball.

      Parker stated that it was unfair that Mitchell based most of his report on “hearsay” and that not all of the players that have used performance-enhancing drugs were named, just those who left a paper trail throgh receipts and credit card reports . Paker went on: “What about the players who used cash to buy drugs – do they get off scot-free?” He also stated the report was rather, “flimsy” other than what was revealed about Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte.

      What’s interesting watching ESPN, is that some of their reporters (not all) are attacking Mitchell’s report and basically discrediting it. Much like Parker, several reporters are noting that Mitchell gathered his information through witnesses that might, or might not be creditable. Interesting.
