Two Nasty Cheapies
Published 1/3/2008 by dawizofodds at The Wizard of Odds
Our first cheap shot candidates from the postseason. The top video is rather disturbing and it comes from the Clemson-Auburn matchup in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Clemson defensive tackle Dorell Scott briefly engages guard Tyronne Green high before shedding that block. He then penetrates the line of scrimmage and is chop blocked by Ryan Pugh. Every football fan in the land should be outraged at this, especially considering that Auburn did the same thing in October to Louisiana State's Glenn Dorsey. Scott left the game and at last report had suffered only a sprained ankle. It could have been ...

FIDDLE, FIDDLE: PROPOSED NEW RULES
Published 2/14/2008 by Orson Swindle at EDSBS
The NCAA Football Rules Committee, you breathe in vain. Air’s supposed to be moving smoothly into the lungs, transitioning between the alveoli and the blood, and thus traveling to important football organs like the muscles, heart, and lastly the brain. We say ‘lastly, the brain’, since the continual tinkering of the Rules Committee has resulted in a yearly series of dadaist proclamations and naked attempts to give fans less football and make officiating more, not less difficult. This is either brainless, disingenuous, or both. Given our pessimistic nature, we suspect both. A ...
