WHITLOCK TORCHES FOWLER, ESPN
Zoner Sports —

The Big Lead —
... And then Whitlock’s Fox Sports column came out on the same topic … except he took the opportunity to pummel ESPN for its shoddy coverage of Ball State and college football in general. It’s epic Whitlock. The best stuff is reserved for saintly Chris Fowler, who really should step up and tell everyone why he dropped BSU out of his Top 25 last week. ...

If Barkley had said that 18 months ago, the mainstream sports media and blogs would be all atwitter over the hilariously descriptive, yet insightful comment.

"Pretty tough to think about the beginning of December." - The White Stripes They're from Michigan, so they clearly know what's up. When I was younger and even stupider, I used to be a huge advocate of a four seasons climate. I think a lot of it had to do with subscribing to the "you need cold weather to appreciate warm weather" theory. Not anymore.

It all has to do with driving, really. Cold weather means shoveling, the increased chance of your car not starting, and, probably the ...

A draft comparison to Andre Woodson is definitely not a good thing for Davis. At one point last year, Andre Woodson was a projected first round pick. On ...
