 NCAA Football Schedule is here.
NCAA Football Schedule is here.
a lot of you have been coming back asking for the NCAA Football Schedule spreadsheet with the helmets that we had last year.  Well, here it is. 2008_helmet_schedule.xls (Leroy Keyes)
Indianapolis Colts preseason opener.
 
The Colts went to Hall of Fame game to tune up against the Redskins.  Oddly, I was not as indifferent as the Colts appeared to be.  Of course, we knew that the Colts would look a little foreign with so many players sitting out, but there were still a few things I wanted to evaluate.  I wanted to see how the backups defensive linemen played in the platoon.  Do they get ...

I am become Jack Cobra
 
I have mentioned before that Jack and I used to play softball together.   We had our warm up rituals.   When I played catcher we worked out a drill to practice throwing people out at home.   That was something we did a lot.   Jack would drop a relay intentionally to sucker guys into going for home.   It worked.   It was fun.   When I moved around to other ...

Colts items of interest.
 
Yeah, I won't be really active in posting until the Colts start playing.  I don't want to comment on things that I don't care about and most sports news is contrived stuff that "media" produces to keep you interested between games.  Be that as it may, I will really only metafilter until things get interesting and I can evaluate players playing the game.  So, here is some ...

Jason Taylor to the Redskins and Shockey to the Saints.
 
There are good and bad things in this world.  There are good and bad trades.  The NFL is generally not a big trade league and football is not a big trade sport.  For that kind of thing you generally look to baseball, or occasionally basketball.  Still, the trade of Jason Taylor to the Redskins and Jeremy Shockey to the Saints is a pretty big one-two punch for the NFL ...

Will Nick Kaczur go to jail?
 
I suppose this could be another anti-Patriots post and I could lambast the Patriots for harboring another drug infused reprobate, but frequenters of the Brigade will recognize that I have never really treated the Pats this way.  Despite being my squad's arch-nemesis, I have never hidden the fact that there are a lot of things I like about that football team.  I think they have their ...

A few links to keep you warm.
 
The Serious Tip is trying to get a new job, help a guy out. This guy may be full of crap but he may just be a genius .  It is a blog about being a revolutionary personality in this forsaken herd.  If you don't like it, I don't care. Guess what!   It is legal for this Presidential administration to put citizens in military prisons for as long as they want and remove you from ...

Peyton Manning out 4 to 6 weeks.
 
The most important thing for a Colts fan to do upon reading this headline is to not panic.  Manning had an infected bursa sac removed from his knee today and is expected to miss 4 to 6 weeks as he sits and rehabilitates it.  Manning was going to start reducing his reps in spring training anyway, so he won't be thrown off that much.  If it was the prepatellar sac, which is a ...

Look out! Weed gonna getcha.
 
Of all the things that you could cast off your good sense for and throw your chances at professional athletic success for, marijuana has got to be one of the lamest and most dumbfargelest thing out there.   The stupidity of it absolutely surpasses me.   If you work a really crappy job in a cubicle for a company whose name ends in t-e-k, then I am all behind recreational grass use. ...

Once I Was Lost, Now I Am Found
 
Sports are games, but metaphorically they can be much more.   They are not just a metaphor for war, but for any kind of conflict and confrontation.   The little instances in sport, the moments of game within a game, are similar to the steps of confrontation.   They are built on instinct, talent, aggression, patience, and tactic.   Any argument or business deal is a form ...

Cubs Weekend
 
The Saturday debut of Rich Harden was a dandy from the point of view of a Cubs fan.   When I first heard about the deal I was interested to see if they had any intention of putting him in the bullpen, if for nothing else than to figure his health out a little.   They stuck him in, though, and he looked good.   I had to watch a replay at a local bar in Minneapolis since I don’t ...
