http://zachls.blogspot.com/ - Sports news from the outside looking out
Welcome to the Pac-10, the only conference that actually matters this season. With things all but settled in all of the major conferences (and pretty much have been for weeks), we turn our attention to out own backyard where all hell has broken loose and we'll see the first non-USC BCS team ...

The following is written by David Kamoe, a life-long sports fan whose sister is a close friend. David is an avid A's fan, wen to to high school with Drew Gooden and can't believe that Giants commentator Mike Krukow used to refer to the right-centerfield expanse at Pac Bell Park as "Finley ...

We're past the halfway mark of the season and we know that the Saints are good and the Browns could win their remaining games and STILL be the worst team to ever play tackle football. But sports blogs don't care about good teams. The media -- or in this case, a blog -- likes champions or ...

By the time you read this, ESPN will be about eight hours into their second annual College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, a 24-hour NCAA basketball showcase featuring 12 live games. Included is an 11 p.m. contest between San Diego St. and St. Mary's and the aforementioned 6 a.m. call time for ...

Watching plenty of Pac-10 action, we've probably seen more variations of the Oregon Ducks' uniform than actual games. Swear they change those fuckers at halftime. While Oregon's uniforms are just awful -- really, horribly awful -- there are some FANTASTIC unis out there. Some of our favorites: ...

We just ordered the Comcast sports package which is AWESOME! Five bucks a month for NFL Network, Big 10 Network, CBS College, a bunch of regional FSN channels, some other, less awesome channels and the newly-launched NFL RedZone, the coolest thing to happen to the NFL since the forward pass ...

Most mornings, we'll lead off the day with some AM headlines -- but not your traditional ones. Rather we'll focus on one game or story and write headlines that are completely inconsequential and insignificant to the outcome of the game. We'll give a few examples and then you'll play in the ...

No one aspires to be a place kicker. You don't hear of kids who want to be kickers. Not even the kids who are always kicking balls want to be kickers. Everyone wants to be a quarterback, wide receiver or running back. NOBODY WANTS TO BE A FUCKING KICKER! The kids who like kicking things play ...

It's never too early to get Joe Lunardi going. Who are we kidding? The man finishes work in March and then takes a five-month vacation. Livin' the life... Nonetheless, most teams have played less than three games and we're already looking at seeds. Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State and Texas ...

We all know about the Madden Curse and how it turns a once healthy player into someone as brittle as a toothpick structure. Look at Shaun Alexander. He hurts his foot and seemingly forgets how to move more than two steps without falling down. But once a running joke and eerie string of ...

Our pal Simon from the cleverly titled blog SimonOnSports asked us some questions about a Giants team that makes us holler in joy and scream in agony. More often scream in agony. You can read all about the Giants here . To hear about a team who knows how to move a runner over with less than two ...

Tiger Woods has lots of money, little architecture experience and a wife who is hot. That last part doesn't have much to do with anything. But Woods is spending lots of money to build what appears to be a greenhouse. Or a motel. Is there any wonder that golfer Tiger Woods had everybody working ...

We're filled with hate. We hate bland food,
Gap commercials and many college football teams. Not really
sure why we dislike certain teams -- do we root against uniform, players or both? Probably both. While every college football fan hates their ...

It wasn't too long ago that we had weekends where there would be like 10 ranked teams playing one another. The M Zone, one of our favorite college football blogs (RIP), had a fun post one weekend in 2006 where there were seven games between two ranked teams. Now it seems these types of ...

awesome games like the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Citrus

And a fantastic tackle! Helmet sticker for that one. While these uniforms look nothing alike, we imagine this will be the example cited the next time both teams want to wear dark jerseys. Note the reaction at the 32-second mark. Fantastic stuff. Truly fantastic! [ Deadspin via Hot Clicks ]

It's not likely that Oregon will have a shot at a BCS Championship -- the Ducks would have to have all sorts of help to get in the top two of the BCS standings. Probably need five of the seven undefeated teams in front of them in the BCS standings to lose, including Boise State. Bad news for ...
