The most easily forgotten stat is that Vince Young actually had the highest qb rating of all players eligible this year. So he is a true double threat, as he showed in the Rose Bowl with 200+ yards running AND passing.

I'm just as surprised as everyone else in the fact that Weiss got the job in the first place. And as far as Nate goes, I read something in ESPN the mag that outside of 3 guys (Pryz, Webster, someone else), he's open to imploding the Jailblazers altogether. What I found interesting is that Ray Allen did an interview and felt bad for not doing enough to help keep Weiss around and he suggested that the team felt the same for the most part.

Thank God. I'm up to my neck in Pac-10 fans up here and I never stop slamming USC or anyone else in the Pac-10 for not being in a real football conference. Glad to see Texas was able to step up and handle business, and hopefully all this dynasty talk (and let's face it, USC was NOT on the verge of a threepeat, seeing as how they split with Auburn) will stop.

I give credit to USC for being a great team in an otherwise lackluster conference, but watching ESPN hype them up as on of the greatest of all time (with only the 2001 Miami team beating them in polls) was sickening on top of all the fanfare I have up here.

Congrats one more time for Texas and here's to a successful 06/07 for UGA!

Hmm... Potential is what got Howard drafted. Ability is what has his averages where they're at.

I'll take Howard any day over Bosh; free agency, trade, fantasy draft, you name it.

Here's to hoping the press doesn't start dogging on us if we hit another long losing skid, which I can see now (the bad pub, not the long losing skid).

I was watching the early edition of Sportscenter this morning after I got off work and ESPNNEWS cut to a live press conference with this story:

ESPN article

With the recent talk surrounding the Colts, whether it was about their chance at perfection, their first loss, their Super Bowl chances, Tony Dungy's coach of the year credentials, etc., it's safe to say this supercedes all of the above.

Condolences to the Dungy family, from what I've always seen, heard, and what everyone that knows Tony Dungy and his family personally, he's a stand-up family man as well as coach and this type of loss is the least that he deserves. Rest in peace, James.

Agreed. Both NY teams love to stockpile offense and then forget about their pitching staff. Look at the Mets, with their own version of murderer's row and nobody worth writing home about after Pedro pitches.

Granted, I think the Yankees have an above average staff with Johnson, Chacon, Wang, Pavano coming back, and Moose, but I'm still not convinced that they will have enough pitching at this point to be more than paper champs. But I'm pretty sure there will be more roster tweaking by Lord Steinbrenner, even after they just paid out $43M in luxury tax.

Arg... Looks like another great fantasy baseball team for Steinbrenner. Granted the contract is still being reported as preliminary, but anyway... 4 years, $52 million, hopefully another early playoff exit.

Go Braves!

Regardless of how good any team is supposed to be and regardless of how much luck is involved in any team not sustaining injuries throughout the course of the year, there's no denying that the Colts have succeeded 13 times this year.

I think that's enough to give Dungy the award for coaching his team to great wins over great teams as Diesel mentioned, as well as winning nearly every other game in between.

Was hoping to see the article also just to hopefully get a little more insight on what the teams are thinking.

On a side note, what's up, bro?
