Judge declares college QB's offense as minor

Masoli's offense deemed "minor" by judge in spite of throwing for over 2K yards last season

A judge this week declared that Jeremiah Masoli's offense is minor. His stats clearly indicate otherwise, but I'm not in charge. But even though his offense was deemed minor, (in spite of passing for over 2,000 yards and rushing for 668 yards) it got his recent crime demoted from a felony to a misdemeanor. Masoli, obviously a music lover, stole 2 laptops and a guitar from a frat house on campus. Imagine how easy he would have gotten off if his offense had been better...


After the loss to Boise State in the season's first game, Oregon went on to win the PAC-10 championship. Mostly from the work of Masoli, now suspended for the 2010 season, and also from the work of LaMichael James, who rushed for over 1,500 yards, a PAC-10 freshman record. James was suspended for the opening game of the season. His crime was much less serious than Masoli's crime. James merely beat and choked his girlfriend.

LaMichael James - choker

Kudo's to Oregon coach Chip Kelly for meting out such strong punishment to two star players. This could only have been made possible by the recent signing of Temple, Texas running back, Lache Seastrunk. I think we can only hope that this doesn't become a string of renegade chokings by running backs from Texas.

Guy goes to jail for shooting himself. Really.

"No, really, I shot 'myself' with my own gun..."

What the hell has this world come to when a guy goes to jail for shooting himself?

This just plain crazy...

John Lovett hired as D coordinator at University of Miami

John Lovit(z)

John Lovett was hired as the defensive coordinator at the University of Miami. He was previously the D coordinator at North Carolina. The word on the street is that this will in no way affect John's stale comedic career.

Doom, Despair! and Agony on me!

Did you enjoy those 5 Super Bowl Trophies?

I hope you did! I hope you did!

Its more than just a HeeHaw line. The depression and gloom that hit cowboys fans everywhere was very real. We like us some winnin', and we don't like it when we ain't winnin', especially when we dun wun 13 games in the same year.

Literal depiction of the figurative NFL football storm currently brewing

After my beloved Cowboys lost, I had my hopes on the Packers to set things right in the football world. After the spanking the Pack handed out last week, I expected #25 to run for at least 150 yards. But alas, no running game yesterday!! Instead, we have the lowly New York Giants going to the Super Bowl.

Two of the Packers Superstars!!

I guess we have to give them credit for beating what most agree are the two best teams in the NFC. But lets face it. Eli Manning beating those two teams is just plain weird. But, you have to give the guy credit. He overcame alot of adversity and gayness to get where he is at. I guess some credit needs to go to the coordinators for the Giants. They had great game plans both weeks.

The Giants win-streak is weirder than a one-eyed cat

What we need to know, is who will be the next star quarterback to tear up the NFL? There are several who come to mind. I think Rhett Bomar, pictured below in his OU uniform, has a great chance to be the next star. Can he recover from the negative publicity from the scandal? It will be interesting to see who the next Tom Brady will be.

Will this be the next great NFL quarterback?

So for now, football season comes to a close. Feb 3rd will be here too soon, I will be another year older, and the cycle of life continues. Someday, maybe I will stop having my emotions so supercharged by football. God forbid I should be so passionate about starving kids, or church, or some other very worthy cause. Until then, Sic'em Bears!

UT & ATM Cooperate on New Facilities

Local news reports that ATM football players Yemi Babalola and Brandon Joiner were arrested on Thursday after both were charged with aggravated robbery and drug possession. It seems they entered a local apartment and bound the victims with duct tape (restraint of choice for Land Thieves everywhere).



The pair will miss the team's game in the Alamo Bowl, to which Joiner, from Killeen, TX, allegedly replied "Thank God, San Antonio is a toilet."

The Home of one of San Antonio's wealthiest residents

In the aftermath of the arrests, there has been ground breaking cooperation between ATM and UT. Coach Mack Brown has released plans for the new Travis County "Jail / Dormatory" now under construction adjacent to Memorial Stadium in Austin to new ATM head coach Mike Sherman. According to Mack, "I just wanted to extend an olive branch to Mike Sherman and try to be an example of interagency cooperation." He has not been in the college game for a long time, and may not know he can have a "dormatory" for his problem players. By building it adjacent to the stadium he can utilize the 4 free hours the prisoners, I mean the players receive each day."



This move by Mack touched off a revolt in nature. (Everyone knows you can't do nice things for an aggie.) There suddenly arose a deafening roar near college station, and a large F-5 tornado touched down in College Station knocking over 2,000 mobile homes. No aggies were injured, as they were in the barn with thier sheep at the time.

"This is a one time deal says Mack. I have recently been privately supporting the Baylor Bears. I just loved that frickin' Miracle on the Brazos!"

"Sic'em Bears" says Mack

SI's Sportsman or Sportsthings(?) of the Year

While surfing the Land Thieves website yesterday, I stumbled upon a section, much like the one to your right, that contained links to websites the author likes to visit. One of those sites is Sports Pickle. They are a satire website, much like Bearmeat or Land Thieves. I have been a fan of Mad Magazine since I was a child. Satire just fits my personality I guess, and I still love it today. So many of the sites I visit are satirical in nature.


But on this day, my sports mind was pointed to a particular story on Sports Pickle that I was thrilled to hear. Beyonce is one of my favorite entertainers. She is a stunning beauty, and quite frankly, I am certain the song Brick House was written about her. (He went forward in time, OK?)




So the story indicates that this year SI announced that the breasts of all thier swimsuit models would be the, and I quote, "Sportsthings of the Year." This is exciting news, in more ways than one, and I was glad to see Beyonce get her deserved recognition, and lets face it, breasts deserve more attention.

You can only imagine my confusion when driving to work this morning I heard on the radio that Brett Favre was named Sportsman of the Year. What the hell?





Now I love Brett Favre and the Packers. And lets face the hard truth here, Donald Driver is the most underrated receiver in the NFL, but come on, Beyonce deserved this one.

Live like a rock star

Well I just got back from the Cowboy / Packers game. What a great game! It was as everyone expected. Brett Favre has nerve damage in his arm, and was knocked out of the game.

It was shocking to see how many Packers fans were at the game. I am guessing around one third or more of all attending were Packers fans.

But the real treat for my son, poop jr, was that we got to meet several of the players after the game. In my work, I come into contact with pro football players, and after the game we were allowed into the VIP area and had nice visits with Marion Barber, Bradie James, and at least 6 other Cowboys. Also got to meet Tommy from the Martin show, what a really nice guy he is.

Poop jr was pretty blown away. He was shocked old dad got to live like a rock star. "You got cool friends dad!"

The Loss of Bearmeat

This last week, my second favorite website appears to have reached its end. For some time now, I have been going to the BearMeat blog to read about goings on with my favorite college, Baylor University.

On November 20, President Red Andrews signed off for what appears to be the last time. Leaving hordes (or at least 17) people wondering how to get thier fix. It is for this that I will long each day.

Then yesterday, the blog title went to "Thee University has quited us" in the title. This sounds bad, very bad.

What will we do now that BearMeat appears to have met its end?

For those unfortunate enough to have never perused BearMeat, here you go:
