If that tape is really Fine's wife, it's the pure embodiement of evil. I wish I hadn't listened to it.
I agree with almost everything you said here (painful to say it ) except I don't think Boeheim is in the same ball park as Paterno, at least not yet. The Syracuse situation is going to keep snowballing I think, but I don't think Boeheim had any idea about. IMO Paterno knew it all, especially with seemingly so much of it occuring on campus.

Boeheim probably shouldn't have come out so strongly against the accusers when this first came out, he was wrong there. But I don't think he just ignored it for the sake of the university like Paterno did.

Of course, I could be totally wrong as it's getting more and more difficult to take anything these guys say at face value.

I hope you're right about Boeheim. It just seems eerily similar in that the man in question was the right hand man of the legend. "allegedly" of course

Admit to be pleased as aging MerHigh with the vaporization of the Dukettes by Ohio State.



Seeing their Polish coach getting very upset was quite amusing.

They are very, very strong again this year. I believe Sullinger's Dad was very instrumental in getting OSU to offer Kraft their last scholarship. They played together in offseasons and knew how good the kid was. That's the legend I heard from my bro in law who lives in Columbus anyway. Great, great college point guard and they are strong at every position. Sullinger is in better shape this year.

He was sure a good grab.


Hard as it is, I think they just might be better this year although I really liked Havlicek II.

I think I heard Kentucky runs very deep,but it's nice to think about winning the big burrito this year.

I'm actually looking forward to the Cavs season, they're still more fun when they're bad. The Indians are still the only team that I REALLY want to win. The other two--wins and losses are about the same. Tristan, Kyrie and Omri are funner names to cheer for than LeBronze. I'll say Ravens 27 and Browns 13 this week. We have a new long snapper too this week, that caused me to up it from 10 to 13 points this week!! I'll say this week four more times this week, and then this week I'll be done this week. This week is over.

(Rian Pontbriand...you and Phil Dawson were so good for so long, why'd you have to mess up the best combo in the NFL this year?? My Christmas is a bit sadder now this year.)

Wish I could add to your comments.



About the only thing I'd say is a turtle could have done better than Pontbriand.

In fact.....I better not say it.

Stranger things have happened.
