Well, we don’t really have a “mailbag” per se, but we were recently asked the following question and felt obliged to answer.
Q: Is the song “I’ll Be” by Edwin McCain the greatest love song ever written?
A: Yes.
We saw and heard it, as did the many NFL fans watching the Colts-Chargers game on Sunday - the Colts fans booed a 14 year-old girl who won the Punt, Pass, and Kick competition for her age group because she was wearing a Patriots jersey. Classy.
We were happy to read this story about Pats’ owner Bob Kraft bringing the girl and her family to the Patriots game on Sunday to honor her again for her achievement.
But here’s what we hope happens next. We hope that Colts’ owner Jim Irsay responds in the following manner:
“I would just like to say that you should not hold the fans of the Indianapolis Colts responsible for booing Miss Anna Grant this past Sunday at the RCA Dome. Our fans at the game were all politely clapping for each competitor, regardless of the jersey he or she was wearing. Unfortunately, our sound operator, the man in charge of piping in crowd noise during the games, thought it would humorous to hit the “boo” button on the soundboard. We do not condone his behavior, and he will be reprimanded. His actions do not represent that way we run our organization.”

After reading this story earlier today about a man suing a hospital for a forced rectal exam, we really wish he had hired us as his attorneys. Not because we think it’s an easy case by any means, but because we could finally put that title at the top of our filed lawsuit that we have been dreaming of…
“Rectum? Damn Near Killed Him.”
To steal a pertinent phrase from the lexicon of Emmitt Smith - fired Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow was a terrific example of an escape-goat for the Tennessee Titans.
We just finished reading here that the Titans fired Chow today, blaming him for their 21st-ranked offense that only managed 6 points in its playoff game versus San Diego. But are the offensive problems really Chow’s fault? We think not. Read the rest of this entry »
Of all the Roy Williamses in sports, there is no doubt that the favorite one for this blog is the wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. We try to reference Roy as often as possible.
Thus, we would be doing Roy and the blog that put this list together if we did not direct you to the Angry T’s top 10 quotes from Roy Williams this past season.
Check here for that top 10 list.
So pour yourself a Grenadine and Tea, sit back and enjoy. It’s a real treat, we promise.
Is the Big 10 relevant any more? We vote no. Hence, that conference should now be called the Little 10. What has that conference contributed to any of the three major sports (football, basketball, baseball) in recent memory? Nothing other than being blown out and embarrassed in the last two BCS title games.
In fact, the only thing big about the Big 10 is that it is actually comprised of 11 teams, not 10. But, in the end, that extra teams just make the conference’s failures even worse. Read the rest of this entry »
One of our favorite examples of horrendous journalism came in the form of an article written by Eddy Landreth. In fact, we even named an award in his honor based on how incompetent he is. Landreth basically wrote that UNC’s Tyler Hansborough should enter the NBA draft after last season because the ACC refs were allowing him to get hammered so much that it would lead to a major injury. You can check here for our review of that article, or click here to see the piece of garbage itself.
But we have a new theory as to who is putting Tyler Hansborough in danger this season - his coach, Roy Williams. Read the rest of this entry »
Say what you will about Eli Manning’s ability to play quarterback and lead his team, but our research staff uncovered some info that is hard to look past…
If Eli manages to win at Green Bay this weekend, he will have as many playoff wins in his first four years in the NFL as Big Brother had in his first eight seasons.
