Little surprise, except possibly the expediency, that Al Groh departs as the head coach of the University of Virginia football program Sunday after what we can assume was a brief conversation with Craig Littlepage and John Casteen. Groh is dismissed with a severance package unlikely surpassed by anybody except Ken Lewis: a $4.3 million buyout [...]

Grizzly Friday Morning
So the Panthers laid an egg on “national” tv last night when they lost to the Miami Dolphins in Carolina. It was definitely a game we could have, and should have, won, but the chips fell differently. Our porous run defense has been exposed for, like, three straight games now. This team has lots of [...]
The Final Word on Billy Belichick
Editor’s Note: I continue my offseason goal of rekindling my proverbial flame with Major League Baseball. With
awards week upon us, I am fairly to hardly interested in the winners, mostly because none of the balloting should be very close. I was happy to see Zack Greinke win the Cy Young (that’s the one they give [...]

Captain Jax Will Get You High Tonight

Everyone’s gonna use words like “embattled” and “disgruntled” when they describe Jax because he’s been looking for a trade for a while. It was on my radar, but I didn’t pay it much mind [...]
Dear NFL: Please Explain Your Punishment Scale
Thanks to the Bears’ dismal performance on Thursday night, I’m pretty sick of football right now, so I’m gonna keep this short and sweet.
Over the past few days, the NFL has levied fines from incidents that happened in three separate games in Week 9. These were the Falcons-Redskins sideline brawl, the Chad Ochocinco attempt to [...]
Thursday Night Football Recap: Stick a Fork in the Bears
I don’t just mean because they’re done. I literally want to stick a fork in some of the Bears.
Let’s be honest for a minute, the Bears’ chances of winning the NFC North pretty much went out the window when Brian Urlacher was lost for the season in Week 1. The playoffs weren’t likely, but then [...]
Disenchanted with MLB? Yeah I’m A Lost Man, too
This post has been brewing for a while now, but I must admit I was just not that excited or motivated to write it.
Not excited as I have been a long time baseball fanboy. Not motivated as I am not usually the curmudgeon type. I’d rather focus my energy elsewhere. But alas due to contractual [...]
